On Feb. 10, 2011, the U.S. and the Rep. of Korea (Korea) exchanged the legal texts reflecting the agreement they concluded on Dec. 3, 2010, to modify certain provisions of the 2007 U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA) regarding the passenger vehicle sector. These texts (AA) are to provide additional market access for U.S. exports to Korea, in particular by addressing non-tariff measures (NTMs) affecting U.S. exports. This report focuses on the impact of the AA and provides additional analysis of the effects of the reduction or removal of NTMs. U.S. exports of passenger vehicles to Korea would likely rise significantly in the long term under the provisions of the 2007 FTA as modified by the AA.

Other observers have suggested the outcome of the KORUS FTA could have implications for the U. S.-South Korean alliance as a whole, as well as on U. S. Asia policy and U. S. trade policy, particularly in light of an FTA completed in October 2009 between South Korea and the European Union. [...] It examines the provisions of the KORUS FTA in the context of the overall U. S.-South Korean economic relationship, U. S. objectives, and South Korean objectives. [...] However, negotiators did not reach a breakthrough by the end of the talks on the separate but parallel issue of how to resolve differences on the terms of access for all U. S. beef in a way that would address Korea's human health concerns arising from the 2003 discovery of mad cow disease in the U. S. cattle herd. [...] As required by the TPA statute, the USITC conducted a study of the KORUS FTA at the request of the President.10 The USITC study concludes that U. S. GDP would increase by $10.1 billion to $11.9 billion (approximately 0.1%) if the KORUS FTA is fully implemented, a negligible amount given the size of the U. S. economy. [...] U. S. imports would increase $6.4 billion to $6.9 billion, primarily in textiles, apparel, leather products, footwear, machinery, electronics, and passenger vehicles and parts.11 The range does not take into account the impact of the reduction of barriers to trade in services and to foreign investment flows and the impact of changes in regulations as a result of the KORUS FTA.

The authors examine the impact of a prospective pact on other trading partners, on the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and on the multilateral trading system.
