SIA’s international trade program has included the implementation of the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreements of 1986, 1991, and 1996 which opened Japan’s semiconductor market; and the 1998 elimination of European semiconductor tariffs -- which saved U.S. producers and their customers over $1.5 billion.
