Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements
August 25, 1994.

Commissioner of Customs,
Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20229.

    Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
the directive issued to you on September 15, 1993, by the Chairman, 
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That 
directive directed you to prohibit entry of certain cotton, wool, 
man-made fiber, silk blend and other vegetable fiber textile 
products, produced or manufactured in Oman for which the Government 
of the Sultanate of Oman has not issued an appropriate visa.
    Effective on October 1, 1994, you are directed to amend the 
September 15, 1993 directive to include the coverage of cotton, man-
made fiber, silk blend and other vegetable fiber textile products in 
merged Categories 334/634, 335/635 and 647/648/847, produced or 
manufactured in Oman and exported from Oman on and after October 1, 
1994. Merchandise in Categories 334/634, 335/635 and 647/648/847 may 
be accompanied by either the appropriate merged category visa or the 
correct category visa corresponding to the actual shipment.
    Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this 
directive which are not accompanied by an appropriate export visa 
shall be denied entry and a new visa must be obtained.
    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,
Edwin E. Maddrey,
Acting Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile 
Agreements.
