1930, as amended. Please refer to this Act for further detail of the criteria applied. In addition,
you may click on the cases listed below the subsidy program title for a full explanation of the

SUBSIDY PROGRAMS FOUND TO BE NOT COUNTERVAILABLE
The subsidy programs listed below have been investigated by the Department and have been
found to be "not countervailable" based on the criteria established in the Tariff and Trade Act
of 1930, as amended. Please refer to this Act for further detail of the criteria applied. In
addition, you may click on the cases listed under the subsidy program title for a full
explanation of the Department's analysis in each case where the subsidy program has been
examined.
Research and Development Support
Certain Flowers (1985) 51 FR 37942 (10/27/86-prelim); 52 FR 9522 (3/25/87-final)
The Government of Kenya funded a portion of costs of research projects undertaken at the National Potato Research Station and at the Horticultural
Research and Development Project. The results of this research are made available for all types of flowers, whether exported or not, and are available
to producers in any part of the country. The results of this research are also made publicly available through publications of annual reports
or on request from farmers, with farmers bearing their own costs when using results from this research. Because the results are made publically available on equal terms,
and because research is conducted on a wider variety of horticultural and agricultural products, we determined that this program was not countervailable.
SUBSIDY PROGRAMS THAT HAVE BEEN TERMINATED
The subsidy programs listed below have been investigated by the Department and have been
found to have been terminated based on the criteria established in the Tariff and Trade Act of
1930, as amended. Please refer to this Act for further detail of the criteria applied. In addition,
you may click on the cases listed below the subsidy program title for a full explanation of the
Department's analysis in each of these cases.
No programs listed.
SUBSIDY PROGRAMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN USED
When potential subsidy programs are investigated and found not to be used by the companies
being investigated, the Department makes no determination as to their countervailability. If
you click on the cases listed under the subsidy program title, you will be linked to each case in
which the subsidy program was referenced.
Export Compensation Act
Certain Flowers (1985) 51 FR 37942 (10/27/86-prelim); 52 FR 9522 (3/25/87-final) not used
The Local Manufacturers' Export Compensation Act was established in June 1982. Under this program, the Government of Kenya offers export incentives in the form of
a 20 percent payment to the exporter of the value of the export. These payments are available only to exporters of manufactured products. This Act does not
provide for duty drawback nor for a refund of sales tax.
Investment Allowances
Certain Flowers (1985) 51 FR 37942 (10/27/86-prelim); 52 FR 9522 (3/25/87-final) not used
The Income Tax Act allows for a grant of 50% against taxable income for new construction of buildings and for new machinery placed in those buildings, if located
outside the two major metropolitan areas. This allowance is available only to the manufacturing sector.
SUBSIDY PROGRAMS DETERMINED NOT TO EXIST
The following subsidy programs were alleged by the petitioning industries and were
investigated by the Department. However, during the investigation we found no evidence that
such programs actually existed. If you click on the cases listed under the subsidy program title,
you will be linked to each case in which the subsidy program was referenced. It is possible
that, while the program named did not exist, a similar program having a different name
actually was investigated. If this is the case, you will find that program listed elsewhere in this
library.
No programs listed.
