The dossier records twelve outstanding items: (1) signature and entry-into-force dates of the FTAs with Taiwan, Colombia, Panama and the Dominican Republic and of the four AAPs (the OAS's SICE returned an SSL/403 error); (2) the exact application date of the agreement with the United Kingdom; (3) effective entry into force of the FTA with Korea; (4) the AACUE signature date (29 Jun vs 29 Jul 2012, against EUR-Lex); (5) the real status of EFTA; (6) the AAP with Trinidad and Tobago; (7) de minimis, the short supply list, the Nicaraguan TPL and cumulation with Mexico in CAFTA-DR textiles (OTEXA not reachable); (8) the legal instrument, start date, coverage and FYDUCA of the GT–HN customs union (the SAT portal returned 403); (9) GSP schemes (Canada's GPT, Japan); (10) the nearshoring studies by the IDB and PRONACOM/FUNDESA; (11) the share of harmonized lines in the Central American Common External Tariff (SIECA); and (12) CAFTA-DR quota volumes and utilization, for example sugar into the United States (USDA/USTR). Nothing in the dossier enters the verified file without the data phase.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
