South Korea Bends on Trade Rules for Computers and Candy
The government and United States officials reached an accord to ease imports of computers with 32 bit capacity or less and peripheral CRTs by July 1, while loosening limits on candy and auto parts. Seoul will cut customs checks on chocolates to 12 days and reduce required local-content for parts. Both sides expect joint ventures in high tech and a smaller U.S. trade gap, with South Korea delaying auto and chip restrictions.
