The Andean Trade Preference Act: Background and Issues for Reauthorization

On December 4, 1991, President George Bush signed into law the Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) to counter illicit drug production and trade in Latin America. For ten years, it has provided preferential, mostly duty-free, treatment of selected U.S. imports from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

This report discusses the ATPA, its background, and issues regarding its potential reauthorization.
