Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements
October 27, 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 March 5, 1984, as amended, by the 
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. 
That directive directs you to prohibit entry of certain wool and 
man-made fiber textile products, produced or manufactured in Hungary 
for which the Government of the Republic of Hungary has not issued 
an appropriate visa.
    Effective on November 1, 1994, you are directed to amend further 
the directive dated March 5, 1984, to provide for the use of a new 
visa stamp to accompany shipments of textile products, produced or 
manufactured in Hungary and exported from Hungary on or after 
November 1, 1994. Goods produced or manufactured in Hungary and 
exported from Hungary during the period November 1, 1994 through 
December 31, 1994 shall be permitted entry if accompanied by either 
the old or new visa stamp. Merchandise exported from Hungary on or 
after January 1, 1995 which is not accompanied by the new visa stamp 
shall be denied entry. A facsimile of the new visa stamp is enclosed 
with this letter.
    Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this 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,
Rita D. Hayes,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
