Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES





Changes Needed In U.S. Valuation

System For Imported Merchandise






The present U.S. valuation standards are con-
fusing to importers and administratively
expensive for the Customs Service. Changes
simplifying the U.S. valuation system have
been considered in the current round of
multilateral trade negotiations and will be
part of the trade agreements proposed to the
Congress. Information on the issues discussed
in this report should be useful to the Congress
and the oversight committees in their consid-
eration of the agreements.

The trade agreements would substantially re-
solve U.S. valuation problems. On the other
hand, if the trade agreements are not enacted
into law, GAO recommends that the Congress
revise the U.S. system by amending the Tariff
Act of 1930.
