Tunisia: Export Declaration Trade Barrier Removed
In a new online joint communique, dated March 13, 2018, Tunisia formally removed the remaining barrier to U.S. exports, which have been thus far unable to comply with providing Tunisia a copy of the U.S. export declaration, otherwise punishable under U.S. law. While amendments and exceptions have been made since the measure's initial enforcement in late 2017, it initially blocked $163.9 million or 79 percent of U.S. agricultural exports to Tunisia, based on 2016 trade figures, primarily including soybeans, almonds, walnuts and animal feed.
