- India is World’s largest beneficiary of this scheme that has been in force since the 1970s.
- The trigger for the latest downturn in trade ties was India’s new rules on e-commerce that restrict the rapidly growing online market.

- The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) is a U.S. trade program designed to promote economic growth in the developing world by providing preferential duty-free entry for up to 4,800 products from 129 designated beneficiary countries and territories.
