The ATPDEA was enacted by President Bush on August 6th 2002, granting Bolivia , Colombia , Ecuador and Peru preferentialtariff treatment for specific products.
Meanwhile, the South Asian PreferentialTariff Agreement, which took effect Dec. 8, is expected to boost trade and help hold down prices in products made in the subcontinent.
