Aerospace, auto manufacturing, biotechnology, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals are among the sectors that stand to gain.

The five States of Central America were unable to meet the target of achieving a customs union by 2003, but they have harmonized over 90 per cent of tariff lines, agreed on a treaty on investment and services, and established a dispute settlement mechanism.

Tariff headings, tariff lines and tariff rates specified in the Customs Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the Customs Tariffs ) and Table of Tariff Rates of Import Duties of the People's Republic of China of Entry Articles (hereinafter referred to as the Table of Tariff Rates of Import Duties of Entry Articles) drafted by the State Council are an integral part of this set of regulations.
