The Generalised System of Preference is a trade program that provides eligible developing countries preferential access to international markets by reducing or eliminating customs duties on specific goods. This program encourages exports, promotes economic development, and strengthens trade competitiveness. In logistics, awareness of GSP rules is essential for supply chain planning, as proper documentation and compliance are required to claim duty benefits. By reducing import costs, the GSP facilitates smoother international shipping, lowers overall supply chain expenses, and supports exporters in reaching global markets more efficiently.
Characteristics:
