U.S.-Peru Trade Agreement Boosts Germanium Exports
A recent report highlights an increase in exports of unwrought germanium, including ingots and monocrystalline crystals (HS 8112.92.60), from Peru to the U.S. under the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement. The agreement has facilitated tariff-free access for Peruvian germanium meeting the purity requirement of 99.999% by weight.
