and 9.5 percent in 2004 to 7.7 percent in 2005 (table 2-4). In 2002, the last year of importsmostly under the original ATPA, the dutiable share was still 47.8 percent. In 2005, theremaining dutiable imports from the region included principally those petroleum and apparelproducts that were not eligible or for some reason were not entered under ATPA preferences.Calculated duty revenues from ATPA countries dropped to $31 million in 2005, shrinkingby $9.5 million or 23 percent from their 2004 amount. The 2005 duty revenues from theregion were less than one-fourth of the amounts calculated during 2001and 2002. Theaverage rate of duty of the small portion of total imports from the region that still remaineddutiable dropped to 2.0 percent in 2005 from 2.7 percent in 2004.Table 2-5 shows that imports from ATPA countries entered free of duty in 2005 in one ofthe following ways: (1) unconditionally free under NTR tariff rates (32.1 percent of allimports), (2) conditionally free under GSP (2.3 percent), (3) conditionally free under theoriginal ATPA (10.9 percent), and (4) conditionally free under ATPDEA (46.9 percent).Before 2003, imports under NTR tariff rates had been consistently the largest duty-freegroup of entry. However, in 2003, following the implementation of ATPDEA, imports underthe expanded ATPA (the sum of imports under the original ATPA and under ATPDEA)became the largest group. In 2005, imports under the expanded ATPA dwarfed all othercategories of duty treatment, accounting for 57.8 percent of all imports from the region. Thisshare compares with 54.9 percent in 2004 and 17.1 percent (for the original ATPA) in 2001.Imports under ATPAIn this report, data on 2005 imports under the expanded ATPA are directly comparablewith the data of only two prior years, since 2003 marked the first full year that ATPDEAprovisions were effective.Table 2-4 U.S. imports for consumption from ATPA countries: Dutiable value, calculated duties, and average duty,2001-2005Item 2001 2002 2003 a 2004 2005Dutiable imports b (1,000 dollars) ........ 3,798,848 4,598,474 1,612,727 1,477,434 1,543,652Dutiable as a share of total (percent) .... 39.7 47.8 14.0 9.5 7.7Calculated duties (1,000 dollars) ....... 144,098 169,498 63,209 40,462 30,976Average duty (percent) c .............. 3.8 3.7 3.9 2.7 2.0Source: Compiled from official statistics of the U.S. Department of Commercea Data for 2003 were adjusted for misreported imports that resulted from implementation of ATPDEA.b Dutiable value and calculated duty exclude the U.S. content entering under HTS 9802.00.80 and9802.00.60 and misreported imports.
