The CCC will hold a seminar on expanding Sri Lanka’s exports under the Norway GSP+ on August 8 from 2.30 pm to 5.00 pm at the Chamber’s auditorium at Navam Mawatha in Colombo.

With the introduction of Norway GSP+ facility, Sri Lanka is entitled to enjoy duty free access for all industrial products, including all textile items.
