Country Analysis
Page 3 of 27
The United States of America (commonly called the United States, the U.S.,
the USA, America, and the States) is a federal constitutional republic consisting of fifty
states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where
its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between
the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south.
The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to
the west across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific.
The country also possesses several territories in the Pacific and Caribbean. At 3.79 million
square miles (9.83 million km2) and with over 314 million people, the United States is
the third- or fourth-largest country by total area and the third-largest by both land area
and population. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the
product of large-scale immigration from many countries.
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased in 43 states and the District of
Columbia in 2011, according to new statistics released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) that breakdown GDP by state. Durable-goods manufacturing, professional,
scientific, and technical services, and information services were the leading contributors to
real U.S. economic growth. U.S. real GDP by state grew 1.5 percent in 2011 after a 3.1
percent increase in 2010. State personal income growth accelerated to 0.8 percent in the first
quarter of 2012, from 0.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Real GDP is growing, but less rapidly than in any other postwar recovery. Thirty-six
months after the start of the economic recovery, GDP is only 6.7 percent higher than it was
when the recovery officially began. As of the second quarter of this year, real GDP is 1.7
percent above its pre-crisis peak, having first surpassed this peak in the fourth quarter of
2011.
Prices have continued to fall even after the recession officially ended. The continued
weakness of nominal home prices is a postwar anomaly. In the current recovery, the collapse
in home prices has severely damaged household balance sheets. As a result, consumers have
avoided taking on new debt.
Page 4 of 27
The result is weak consumer demand and a slow recovery. The relative weakness of
this recovery is obvious in the labor market. Job losses continued throughout the first eight
months of the recovery. Payrolls have increased for the past twenty-two consecutive months.
Because of the depth of the recent recession, one might expect stronger-than-average
improvement in industrial production. Despite the predicted snapback, the increase in
industrial production during this recovery has been fairly typical of postwar recoveries.
Capacity in manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities usually grows
steadily from the start of a recovery; however, during the current recovery, investment was
initially so slow that capacity declined. Since the start of last year, this trend has reversed
itself and industrial capacity has been steadily rising.
The pace of growth in world trade has slowed in recent months as global economic
growth has decelerated.
The federal deficit was much larger at the start of this recovery than it was in any
other postwar recovery. Although the deficit as a percent of GDP has shrunk slightly, its
level creates significant challenges for policymakers and the economy.

The United States has a capitalist mixed economy, which is fueled by abundant
natural resources, a well-developed infrastructure, and high productivity. According to the
International Monetary Fund, the U.S. GDP of $15.1 trillion constitutes 22% of the gross
world product at market exchange rates and over 19% of the gross world product at
purchasing power parity (PPP). Though larger than any other nations, its national GDP was
about 5% smaller at PPP in 2011 than the European Union's, whose population is around
62% higher. The country ranks ninth in the world in nominal GDP per capita and sixth in
GDP per capita at PPP. The U.S. dollar is the world's primary reserve currency.
The United States is the largest importer of goods and third largest exporter, though
exports per capita are relatively low. In 2010, the total U.S. trade deficit was $635 billion.
Canada, China, Mexico, Japan, and Germany are its top trading partners. In 2010, oil was the
largest import commodity, while transportation equipment was the country's largest export.
China is the largest foreign holder of U.S. public debt.
The New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street, the world's largest stock exchange.
In 2009, the private sector was estimated to constitute 86.4% of the economy, with
federal government activity accounting for 4.3% and state and local government activity
(including federal transfers) the remaining 9.3%. While its economy has reached a
postindustrial level of development and its service sector constitutes 67.8% of GDP, the
United States remains an industrial power. The leading business field by gross business
receipts is wholesale and retail trade; by net income it is manufacturing. Chemical products
are the leading manufacturing field.
The United States is the third largest producer of oil in the world, as well as its largest
importer. It is the world's number one producer of electrical and nuclear energy, as well as
liquid natural gas, sulfur, phosphates, and salt. While agriculture accounts for just less than
1% of GDP, the United States is the world's top producer of corn and soybeans. Coca-Cola
and McDonald's are the two most recognized brands in the world.
Foreign trade of the United States
Page 7 of 27
Trade policy
United States trade policy has varied widely through various American historical and
industrial periods. As a major developed nation, the U.S. has relied heavily on the import of
raw materials and the export of finished goods. Because of the significance for American
economy and industry, much weight has been placed on trade policy by elected officials and
business leaders.
The Constitution gives Congress express power over the imposition of tariffs and the
regulation of international trade. As a result, Congress can enact laws including those that:
establish tariff rates; implement trade agreements; provide remedies against unfairly traded
imports; control exports of sensitive technology; and extend tariff preferences to imports
from developing countries. Over time, and under carefully prescribed circumstances,
Congress has delegated some of its trade authority to the Executive Branch. Congress,
however, has, in some cases, kept tight reins on the use of this authority by requiring that
certain trade laws and programs be renewed; and by requiring the Executive Branch to issue
reports to Congress to monitor the implementation of the trade laws and programs.
Constitutional authority
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,
pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States;
but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.

Trade with the Asia-Pacific Region
In addition to bilateral free trade, the Obama administration has also made regional
free trade in the Pacific a growing priority. In late 2009, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk
announced that the United States would continue negotiations initiated by the Bush
administration a year prior with Australia, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore,
Vietnam, and Malaysia over a new Pacific-based multilateral trade deal known as the Trans-
Pacific Partnership.
The Obama administration highlighted its commitment to implementing TPP when it
hosted the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Honolulu in November
2011. Obama said the nine TPP nations had "reached the broad outlines of an agreement"
(CNN). At the same time, TPP received a boost when Japan indicated it would join the trade
negotiations (NYT). The eleventh round of TPP negotiations is set to be held in Melbourne,
Australia, in March 2012.
However, Asia's economic powerhouse, China, has not figured in the TPP
negotiations, fueling speculation on both sides of the Pacific that the United States is trying to
limit China's economic influence in the region. Writing in support of this policy on
ForeignAffairs.com, Bernard K. Gordon of the University of New Hampshire argues, "A
Trans-Pacific Partnership composed of Japan, the United States, Australia, and the group's
smaller economies represents a healthier alternative." The Financial Times' David Pilling
says TPP is a logical U.S. economic response to booming trade within Asia and between the
continent and other emerging markets. "The TPP is an attempt to regain the initiative by
opening up Asia-Pacific markets more fully to U.S. business," he writes.
A Future U.S. Trade Agenda
A September 2011 CFR Task Force Report on U.S. trade and investment policy calls
on the United States to develop an active, "pro-America" trade policy that seeks out untapped
foreign markets--while boosting the U.S. economy and job creation--and better uses trade as
a diplomatic and development tool. The report notes that trade as a percentage of U.S. GDP--
25 percent--is the lowest of any developed economy other than Japan. "It's also clear that
we're falling behind on trade, while other countries are pushing ahead," former Democratic
Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, a chair of the report, told CFR last year.
Page 10 of 27
The Obama administration has a wide-ranging trade agenda for 2012. In addition to
implementing last year's ratified FTAs and continuing TPP negotiations, the administration is
focused on opening up trade with Russia, which was admitted to the WTO in December.
At the periphery of the U.S. trade agenda sits the European Union. While the United
States and the EU are each other's largest trading partners--with trade flows of about $3.6
billion per day--the transatlantic partners have never negotiated a free trade agreement.
However, at the January 2012 World Economic Forum in Davos, both British Prime Minister
David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for developing an EU-U.S.
free trade deal, with Merkel noting, "the potential of our cooperation has not yet been tapped"
(AP). U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk responded that the United States was considering
an FTA (WSJ) with the EU as one of a number of potential options.
In the past, EU and U.S. leaders have resisted forging a bilateral FTA to avoid
undermining the Doha negotiations. But at Davos, Cameron and other leaders expressed
pessimism about the future of Doha. "We have to be frank about it. It didn't work," Cameron
said of last year's European push for renewed Doha talks.
Direct Dyes
During the last decade, the worldwide dyestuff
industry has been characterized by significant oversupply,
resulting in severe pressure on prices. As a result, most dyestuffs
producers have suffered significant financial losses and
major restructuring has taken place, especially in the United States, Western Europe and East
Asia, including Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan.
Currently, the major dye sourcing country is China, followed by India, Western
Europe (mainly Germany and Switzerland) and Taiwan. Major export markets include
Turkey, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia, the United States, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, and
Thailand. China has the largest trade surplus, followed distantly by India and Western
Europe. Since 2002/2003, both Turkey and Brazil have gradually increased their dependency
on imported dyes, as the dye consuming industries have expanded in these countries.
Page 11 of 27
The following pie chart shows world consumption of synthetic dyes:
During 2006–2010, consumption of dyes decreased in North and Central America,
Western Europe, and Japan, while it increased in South America, Central and Eastern Europe,
the Middle East, Africa, and Asia (with the exception of Japan). Japan was hit hard during the
2008/2009 economic recession. Other Asian countries were not hit as hard.
Consumption of dyestuffs is governed predominantly by several factors. The primary
long-term factor is demand for textiles, leather and colored paper. Consumption of textiles,
the largest end-use market for dyestuffs, in turn depends directly on population growth and
private (consumer) spending levels. The most important short-term factor is fashion, which
dictates the types of colors used. The quantity of dyestuffs consumed per textile volume is
considerably higher when bright or dark colors are desired than when only light colors are in
demand. Hence, the colors used for textiles have an impact on the total consumption of
dyestuffs. A lesser but still potentially important factor is the substitutability of organic
pigments for dyes, particularly in the textile printing segment but also in other segments such
as plastics and inks. On the other hand, specialty dyestuffs may also substitute for pigments
in selected markets; an example is the dyeing of modified polypropylene fibers, which are
normally pigmented.
Asia will continue to be the largest and fastest growing market for textile dyes, as
textiles remain a high-volume traded commodity produced in this region.
Page 12 of 27
In recent years, new legislation has affected dyestuff producers' product portfolios.
For instance, the European Commission banned many azo dyes in 2002 and navy blue (a
chromate-based azo dye, one of the most widely used dyes in the leather industry) in 2004.
Restrictions on azo dyes have impacted major dye and textile exporting countries such as
India. China and India, which together account for some 66% of global dye production, are
sensitive to such regulations. The ban on vat and azo dyes in some countries has paved the
way for reactive and disperse dyes in India. REACH (an EU regulation of chemicals), which
was enacted in 2007, also affects consumption of synthetic dyes. In China, several dye and
textile factories have been closed by the government for being either too polluting or too
energy intensive. Both Chinese and Indian textile dyes and chemicals suppliers are faced with
the challenge of reducing pollution and optimizing the use of resources.
The dyestuff industry clearly faces numerous challenges in this decade, but ample
opportunities will also present themselves for the most agile and innovative producers. For
example, the paper and specialty dyes markets are likely to show growth opportunities.
Manufacturing of paper chemicals is increasingly becoming concentrated in Asia's emerging
markets, where the future growth in the paper industry will originate.
Indian Chemical Industry
Chemical industry is an integral component of the Indian economy, which contributes
around 7 % of the Indian GDP. It touches our lives in several different ways. Whether it is
thermoplastic furniture we use, or a synthetic garment we wear, or a drug we take – we are
inextricably associated to it. The industry is integral to the development of agricultural and
industrial development in India and has key linkages with various other downstream, such as
automotive, consumer durables, engineering, food processing and more.
Growing at an average rate of 12.5%, the Indian chemical industry offers a wide
spectrum of opportunities for the investors both from India and the world. The significant
market potential, coupled with the existing pool of human resources, and the comprehensive
variety of resources in the country make it s profitable destination in the new millennium. In
the world production of chemicals, Indian industry stands at 12th position.
Page 13 of 27
Major segments of Indian chemical industry include
The Indian dye industry is valued at around US$ 3 billion, with exports of about US$
1 billion. The per capita consumption is very low (50 gms) as compared to average global
consumption (400gms). The industry is highly fragmented with 50 players in organized
sector and 900 in unorganized sector. (400 gms). The industry has undergone tremendous
over the years, starting as an intermediate manufacturing industry to full-fledged industry
with huge export potential. At present, India's share of the dye output globally stands at 5%,
with a manufacturing capacity of 1, 50,000 tons per annum.

FTP Provision for the Chemical Industry
Exports and Imports shall be free, except where regulated by FTP or any other law
enforce.
The procedure for facilitating foreign direct investment has been simplified. Most of the
chemical items fall under the RBI’s automatic approval route for FDI/NRI investment
upto100 per cent.
Expansion of FMS: - Focus Market Scheme (FMS) has been expanded by adding 26 new
markets, out of which 16 are in Latin America and 10 in Asia-Oceania. Incentive under
the scheme has been enhanced from 2.5% to 3%.
Expansion of FPS: - Incentive under the scheme has been enhanced from 1.25% to 2%.
Duty free import of specialized inputs /chemicals and flavoring oils is allowed to the
extent of 1% of FOB value of preceding financial year’s export.
Free imports of samples by exporters- Number of free samples allowed is increased
from15 to 50 as per para 49 of Highlights of Foreign Trade Policy announced on 27-8-
2009. It seems the change will be effective after relevant customs notification is suitably
modified.
Customs Duty
1. The peak rate of Customs Duty on most Chemicals is 7.5%
2. On basic raw materials like sulphur, rock phosphate, natural borates is 5%
3. On most building blocks & feedstock the duty is 5% (ethylene, propylene, benzene,
toluene, xylene)
Excise Duty-On almost all chemicals the excise duty is 16%
EPCG scheme Zero duty EPCG scheme - A "zero duty" EOCG scheme has been
introduced in FTP 2009-14 for a limited period i.e. up to 31-3-2011.The scheme is
available for exporters of engineering and electronic products, basic chemicals and
pharmaceuticals, apparels and textiles, plastics, handicrafts, chemicals and allied products
and leather and leather products, except those excluded in HBP Vol. 1.
Manufacture under Bond-Under the Manufacture under Bond Scheme, all factories
registered to produce their goods for export are exempted from import duty and other
taxes on inputs used to manufacture such goods. Against this the manufacturer is allowed
to import goods without paying any customs duty. The production is made under the
supervision of customs or excise authority.
Page 16 of 27
Duty exemption and remission schemes
The Government has been taking various steps for augmenting the export.
Some of the important measures taken by the Government are as follows:-
1. Extension of the Duty Entitlement Pass Book (DEPB) Scheme up to December
31,2009;
2. Providing pre and post-shipment credit assistance in rupees as well as in dollars;
3. Reduction in import duties of raw materials; and
4. Reduction in interest rates on export finance; etc
Exporting to USA
Product: Direct Dyes & Preparations based thereon
ITC (HS) Code: 320414
Status: Freely Tradable
Exporting Procedure:
To start with any export, one has to obtain Import-Export Code Number issued the
office of the Director General of Foreign Trade. In all foreign trade as well as foreign
exchange documentation you have to mention IE code number.
RBI Code for duty draw-back from the Indian government. If the same is not being
posses by company they will not get duty draw back.
To export any dyes we need to have chemexl registration.
For manufacturer of dyes company should have excise license, sales and vat
registration done.
Company need to have clearance certificate / NOC from the pollution board of the
state.
To export the goods company need to fill ARE-1 for excise department. This includes
packing list and invoice of the importing party in USA.
Page 17 of 27
Company appointed C&F agent will go to customs department and give NOC.
After clearance from the customs C&F will take the goods to shipping company and
company will take the marine insurance for their goods.
Shipping company will generate the BL and it will be hand over to the company by
C&F agent.
Company went to bank for the processing of the BL documents. If company do direct
dealing with the party then the bank procedure will not be in the process.
Secret tips about doing Business in USA
Most industries in the U.S. have very clear, defined rules of conduct. It’s crucial to know
how things work (even if you plan to break the rules). For example when selling to big
retail chains, buyers decide by March what will be on their shelves the following year. If
you approach them in April, you will not be considered. In other countries, these rules are
not so rigid.
American system of business is so rigid, bending the rules and/or cutting corners are not
recommended. Also, while it is a very rigid system, it is extremely pro-business and
accommodating. Even if a law or regulation doesn’t make sense, it’s usually easier to
work with these rules than try to go around them. Most Americans don’t question the
rules or authority, while it’s much more common for foreign nationals to want to work
outside the system if they think they know a better way.
Doing business in America is easier than in other countries. Almost any business service
imaginable already exists. It’s remarkably easy for startups to leverage this pro-business
climate and appear like a mature, big business from day one.
American employees subscribe to a “think inside the box” mentality – to do your job and
not beyond that. This ethic has contributed greatly to the U.S.’ success. By ensuring that
each employee does what they need to do – nothing more, nothing less – if the master
plan was designed well, then everything will work as planned and scale correctly. By
contrast, Europeans – especially those working for small companies – tend to work
beyond what’s required, because the work needs to get done. For many Americans, this
“someone had to do it” concept is incomprehensible.
Page 18 of 27
American ‘consumers’ more than live up to that title. Foreign nationals doing business in
the U.S. are often surprised by American consumers’ willingness to spend future income
they haven’t yet earned, while saving little if nothing for the future.
While the power of celebrity is felt around the world, in the U.S. it has unique and direct
business implications. Companies able to score an important celebrity endorsement (e.g.,
appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show during its peak), could see their business change
overnight. Outside the U.S., celebrity followings are not as passionate, markets are
smaller and populations don’t have as intense a ‘consumer mentality.’
Very often, business ventures get only one shot to succeed. “I don’t have,” and, “We
can’t do that,” are unacceptable phrases in American business. Companies must deliver
what’s been promised; if a major deadline or target is missed just once, sometimes that’s
all it takes for major collaborators and partners to look elsewhere.
America is all about the money. It’s not as if there are no other values, but money is the
biggest value, and everything revolves around it.
Taxes to be paid on import to USA
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) collect on goods being imported into the United
States. CBP collects federal taxes and fees on behalf of other federal agencies and under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA).
Import Duty
State Tax
Federal Excise Tax
User Fees
o Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF)
o Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF)
Page 19 of 27
Import Duty
Importer has to pay the import duty while importing the goods to the USA. For some
of the dyes there is import duty is not levied by the government of the USA. Also there are
trade unions with other country so importer in the USA has to pay the duty.
State Tax
To enter the goods in the particular state importer has to pay additional state tax to
the government of the particular state.
Federal Excise Tax
Additional tax is required depends on the commodity being imported. For example,
imports of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products are subject to Federal Excise Tax. The
Internal Revenue Service establishes the amount of this tax and CBP collects it on their
behalf.
User Fees
The user fee and amount collected by CBP depends on the type of entry and mode of
transportation used to bring the goods into the United States. For instance, formal and
informal entries are subject to a Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF).
The MPF for formal entries is an ad valorem fee of 0.3464 percent. The maximum
amount of the fee shall not exceed $485 and shall not be less than $25. The fee is based on
the value of the merchandise being imported, not including duty, freight, and insurance
charges. MPF for informal entries (i.e. goods imported via mail etc.) is a set fee and ranges
from $5.00 to $9.00 per shipment.
If the mode of transportation is via ship a Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) is collected
by CBP. HMF is .125 percent of the value of the commercial cargo shipped through
identified ports. HMF is not collected on cargo imported or transported via air or mailed.
However, goods that are shipped are subject to both MPF and HMF.
The US does not have a VAT tax. Many jurisdictions have a sales tax, but that would
not be applicable to you unless you have offices in US.
Page 20 of 27
Importing to USA
When the customer of USA imports the material they have to surrender their original B/L
to custom.
Direct dyes falls under Chapter heading 3204.14.50)
Custom will ask to deposit duty @ 11% on CIF Value declare in Invoice 2% additional
duty on this + clearing charges + container cleaning charges+ (this will collect by
shipping line)
Local fright importer has to pay from port to his warehouse.
US importer has to pay vat to his state when he sells these goods to his customer.
Factors affecting International Trade flows
International trade deals with the difference between the import and export of the
country, which shows total economy of the country in terms of GDP. Every country has its
different economy which depends upon its import and export. There are several factors that
affect international trade that include exchange rates, tariffs and prosperity abroad. Internet
is the main media of the international trade as it facts as a bridge between several countries
for every kind of interaction. Still exchange rate affects international trades which may
increase or decrease with every time period. Every country gets affected by these three
factors. If any country would like to export or import any product from another country so
firstly it looks towards the exchange rate which depends upon the stock exchange value of
the international market.
Importance:
Several small and large scale organizations in the world follows business to business
approach or B2B approach as to make efficient international trade. Due to increase and
decrease of the market value of the currency, the international trade gets affected. With this
international trade the Economy also gets affected resulting GDP. Sometimes, only country’s
recession also affects another country, which is the resultant of improper or more utilization
of the overall revenue of the country. Several processes of import and export include custom
clearance, excise duty and other financial charges that affect the international trade. Several
factors that affect international market are widely considered throughout the world. Each and
every country does international trade as per the value of currency in each country. The
Page 21 of 27
payment process of international process these days is done by internet payment services.
There are several banks also which provides the international money transfer.
Significance:
Every year the customization in international trade helps in making smooth
international trade. It is assumed that the B2B process resolves several complexities of
international trade such as billing process, custom clearance. This also helps in reducing the
overall cost of international trade. Several other factors that affect international market are the
increase in industrialization. For a single product in the market there are several industries
which price value makes the difference between the companies.
These factors are used to evaluate the growth as well as performance of the organization in
terms of international trade. Mainly international trade is getting affected these days with the
competitive industries and currency values. The increase and decrease in currency values
affects the production of the industry as well hence the annual turnover. The international
trade parameters are customized every year by international trade systems. There are several
industries in the international market whose market presence is excellent due to their
excellent international trade from the past. The main aim of any industry behind its
