The legislation was the first substantial trade measure enacted in the United States since the U.S. adherence to the Uruguay Round trade agreements in 1994 establishing the World Trade Organization. The Trade and Development Act of 2000 also included the United States-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act, which also sought to reduce or eliminate U.S. tariffs and quotas for goods from the Caribbean region.
