The trade representative and his office have said that they are going to allow the members of businesses and government agencies said that they would be submitting comments in case they believe that there is further amendment required in the tariffs.
It had said that the move was part of the efforts to maintain the development and keep the fight up against the pandemic of coronavirus.
