COMMITTEE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE AGREEMENTS


Amendment of Export Visa and Quota Requirements for Certain 
Textile Products Produced or Manufactured in Various Countries and Re-
Imported Under Certain HTS Numbers

March 22, 1994.
AGENCY: Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA).

ACTION: Issuing a directive to the Commissioner of Customs amending 
visa and quota requirements for goods re-imported under HTS number 
9801.00.2000 or 9801.00.2500.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 25, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lori E. Goldberg, International Trade 
Specialist, Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, (202) 482-3400.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended; 
section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
1854).

    Effective on March 25, 1994 textile and apparel products which are 
produced or manufactured in various countries and entered into the 
United States for consumption and withdrawal from warehouse for 
consumption under existing visa and quota requirements are no longer 
subject to visa or quota requirements upon re-entry into the United 
States under Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) number 9801.00.2000 or 
9801.00.2500. These tariff provisions provide for duty free entry to 
products which have been previously imported into the United States. 
Upon the initial importation the textile or apparel products would have 
been subject to all applicable quota and visa requirements. Since these 
HTS numbers mandate that the same articles be re-imported, CITA has 
decided to exempt them from being subject to the same quota and visa 
requirements a second time.
Ronald I. Levin,
Acting Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile 
Agreements.

    Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
all import control directives issued to you by the Chairman, 
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. This 
directive also amends, but does not cancel, all visa requirements 
for all countries for which visa arrangements are in place with the 
United States.
    Effective on March 25, 1994 textile and apparel products which

the United States for consumption and withdrawal from warehouse for 
consumption upon re-entry into the United States under Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule (HTS) number 9801.00.2000 or 9801.00.2500 are no 
longer subject to visa or quota requirements.
    The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has 
determined that this action falls within the foreign affairs 
exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).
    Sincerely,
Ronald I. Levin,
Acting Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile 
Agreements.
