| by Ted Peterson |

| The Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act. (Caribbean Basin
Economic Recovery Act) is a trade act that was made into law by public law
106-200 (CBTPS) which amends section 213(b) of the Caribbean Basin
Economic Recovery Act 19 U.S.C. 2703 (b) provides that certain
preferential tariff treatment may be provided to eligible articles that
are the product of any country that the President designates as a CBTPA
beneficiary country. This is almost like NAFTA but for the Caribbean Basin
but with one exception. Any American that travel in the Caribbean Basin (a
list below) may bring back $600.00 duty free. |
