The letter states that the United States has announced that it will implement this initiative together with the results of the overall negotiations under the Doha Development Agenda. In providing its advice, the USTR asked that the Commission consider each article in Chapters 1 through 97 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) for which U.S. tariffs or quotas will remain after the United States fully implements its Uruguay Round tariff commitments, taking into account preferential tariff treatment currently being provided to LDCs under the Generalized System of Preferences, the African Growth and Opportunity Act, and Caribbean Basin Initiative programs.

The USTR requested that the advice be provided at the 8-digit HTS level, or the lowest level of aggregation feasible. As requested, the Commission will transmit its advice to the USTR by August 16, 2007.
