In the 2005 De Minimis Waiver and Redesignation Review, the GSP Subcommittee evaluated the appraised import values of each GSP-eligible article in 2005 to determine whether an article from a GSP beneficiary developing country exceeded the GSP CNLs.

Part III pf the 2005 Results List contains a list of the articles and the associated countries granted de minimis waivers. An article from a GSP-eligible country that had previously exceeded one of the CNLs, but had fallen below the CNL for total annual trade in 2005 was redesignated for GSP eligibility pursuant to the 2005 review.
