§2803 — Title 19 Customs Duties | U.S. Code

Summary

The Trade Representative must call a foreign country or an economic union a "major wine trading country" if it is both a likely important market for U.S. wine and it keeps tariffs, non‑tariff barriers, or other trade distortions that affect U.S. wine. In deciding whether non‑tariff barriers exist, the Trade Representative must use the review and report required under section 854(a) of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 U.S.C. 2135 note), any actions taken since that review, and information submitted under section 2805 by U.S. wine and grape industry representatives or other sources.
