According to the official, the exports of Ukrainian goods to the US totaled $426.6 million in 2016. At the same time, in the current year, the growth of exports was achieved due to the increase in supplies of ferrous metals – by 2.4 times. As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian businesses have the opportunity to enjoy the advantages of the General System of US Preferences, which provides for duty-free exports to the US of about 5,000 types of goods.
