                Proclamation 6655 of March 3, 1994

 

To Amend the Generalized System of Preferences

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act of 
                1974, as amended (``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 
                2462), and having due regard for the eligibility 
                criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it 
                is appropriate to designate Ukraine as a beneficiary 
                developing country for purposes of the Generalized 
                System of Preferences (``GSP'').

                2. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) 
                authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized 
                Tariff Schedule (``HTS'') the substance of the 
                provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting 
                import treatment, and actions thereunder.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, acting under the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States of America, including but not limited to 
                sections 501 and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim 
                that:

                (1) General note 4(a) to the HTS, listing those 
                countries whose products are eligible for benefits of 
                the GSP, is modified by inserting ``Ukraine'' in 
                alphabetical order in the enumeration of independent 
                countries.

                (2) Any provisions of previous proclamations and 
                Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of 
                this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent 
                of such inconsistency.

                (3) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraph (1) 
                of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to 
                articles that are: (i) imported on or after January 1, 
                1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
                consumption, on or after 15 days after the date of 
                publication of this proclamation in the Federal 
                Register.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                third day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen 
                hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and 
                eighteenth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>
