                    [Summary] => The Philippines has asked the US to allow the duty-free entry of dried mangoes, carageenan and certain watches under the US General System of Preferences (GSP).


This was relayed anew to the US by Senior Trade Undersecretary Thomas Aquino during the recent videoconference of the RP-US Trade and Investment Council (TIC) conducted between Manila and Washington, D  


During the TIC, Aquino acknowledged the granting of the Philippines request for a waiver for the country’s coco fatty acids exports from the competitive need provisions of the US GSP.
