Re: This proposal's market rather than government driven.




Dr. Who, this may seem as a boon to exporters of USA goods but it’s actually an indirect and effective export subsidy.

 

Due to other competing exporters of U.S. goods and negotiating pressures from their foreign customers, Exporters of U.S. goods have sufficient cause to reduce their prices.  Despite or because of the induced lower prices for U.S. exports, everyone’s a winner.  The sales volumes of U.S. goods producers and/or, exporters, increase as does the nation’s exports and GDP.


There’s no doubt that exporters entitlement to pay a comparatively nominal fees to acquire the Import Certificates is advantageous but I suppose anyone or anyone’s agent can function as an exporter of U.S. goods.  It’s not a heredity title or an exclusive social club.


I’m aware of no existing or other proposed trade policy that could eliminate USA’s trade deficit of assessed goods with less additional cost to U.S. purchasers of foreign goods and to U.S. taxpayers.  All expenses due to this trade proposal are eventually and entirely paid by the U.S. purchasers of foreign goods.


I’m aware of no existing or other proposed trade policy that could eliminate USA’s trade deficit of assessed goods and subsidize U.S. exports more cost effectively and with less government intervention.
