$11.1 billion in 2005 compared with $7.8 billion in 2004 (table 2-1, figure 2-1). Notably,U.S. fuel-related trade with ATPA countries (HTS chapter 27) accounted for over four-fifthsof this deficit in 2005.U.S. Imports from ATPA CountriesIn 2005, ATPA countries collectively were the 17 th largest supplier of U.S. imports (in 2004they ranked 22 nd ), larger than Thailand, but smaller than Nigeria. The United Statescontinued to be the leading destination of each ATPA country’s exports, except Bolivia’s.U.S. imports from ATPA countries consist primarily of raw materials and their derivatives,agricultural and horticultural products, seafood, and apparel.Table 2-2 shows the composition of total U.S. imports from ATPA countries by major HTSproduct categories during 2001-2005. Product groups that include natural resources andderivatives dominate this list. Mineral fuels and oils (HTS chapter 27)—specificallypetroleum and coal—have accounted for at least 40 percent of the total in the last five years.This share exceeded 50 percent in 2005, mainly because of an increase in the price of theseproducts. HTS chapter 71, which consisted mostly of gold bullion but also included preciousstones, metals, and jewelry, ranked second in both 2004 and 2005. This group accounted forsome 12 percent of the total in both 2004 and 2005. Knitted apparel, which rose to the thirdlargestcategory in U.S. imports from ATPA countries in 2003, continued to rank third in2005, accounting for close to 5 percent of the total.Table 2-3 lists the 20 leading U.S. imports from ATPA countries during 2005 on an 8-digitHTS subheading basis, ranked by their 2005 import value. Since October 31, 2002, whenATPDEA entered into effect, all of these products from ATPA countries have been eligiblefor duty-free entry under ATPA or GSP, or at NTR duty rates. 54 Products that have NTRduty rates of free include many traditional imports from ATPA countries: gold bullion,coffee, coal, bananas, shrimp, 55 and unalloyed tin. Most U.S. imports of the 20 items listedin table 2-3 increased in value in 2005.Several leading imports shown in table 2-3 also appear as leading imports under ATPA andwill be discussed later in this chapter.Duty TreatmentThe dutiable share of total U.S. imports from ATPA countries continued to decline in2005, mirroring the increase in the portion of U.S. imports from ATPA countries enteringunder ATPDEA. This dutiable share fell from 14.0 percent in 2003, using adjusted data,54 GSP applies to only one item (cut flowers) among the 20 leading products.55However, on Jan. 21, 2005, the Commission determined that an industry in the United States ismaterially injured by reason of imports of certain frozen or canned warm-water shrimp from Ecuador, amongother countries. An antidumping duty order on imports from Ecuador became effective on Feb. 1, 2005 (70F.R. 5156, Feb. 1, 2005).2-2
