Office of the Secretary
Uruguay Round Agricultural Safeguard Trigger Levels
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of product coverage and trigger levels for safeguard
measures provided for in the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice lists the products which may be subject to
additional import duties under the safeguard provisions of the Uruguay
Round Agreement on Agriculture. It also includes the effective dates
and quantity and price trigger levels applicable to each of those
products.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 1995 or such other date as may be proclaimed
by the President to be the date of entry into force of the Uruguay
Round Agreements for the United States, whichever is later.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert J. Spitzer, Multilateral Trade
Policy Affairs Division, Foreign Agricultural Service, room 5540-South
Building, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250-1000 or
telephone at (202) 720-6064.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article 5 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on
Agriculture provides that additional import duties may be imposed on
imports of products subject to tariffication during the Uruguay Round
if certain conditions are met. The agreement permits additional duties
to be charged if the price of an individual shipment of imported
products falls below the average price for similar goods imported
during the years 1986-88 by a specified percentage. It also permits
additional duties to be imposed if the volume of imports of an article
exceeds the average of the most recent three years for which data is
available by 25 percent. These additional duties may not be imposed on
quantities for which minimum or current access commitments were made
during the Uruguay Round negotiations, and only one type of safeguard,
price or quantity based, may be applied at any given time to an
article.
Section of 405 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires that
the President cause to be published in the Federal Register the
agricultural products subject to safeguards, the price and quantity
trigger levels which will be applied to these products, and the
relevant period for the quantity based safeguard for each product. The
President delegated this duty to the Secretary of Agriculture in
Presidential Proclamation No. 6763, dated December 23, 1994. Additional
information on the levels of the additional duties and how they will be
applied is provided in subchapter IV of chapter 99 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). These duties become
effective on the date the President proclaims as the date of entry into
force of the Uruguay Round Agreements for the United States. It is
anticipated that this date will be January 1, 1995.
As provided in section 405 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act,
consistent with Article 5 of the Agreement On Agriculture, additional
duties may be applied in accordance with provisions of subchapter IV of
chapter 99 of the HTS for the products, and under the conditions
described in the annex to this notice.
Issued at Washington, DC this 28th day of December, 1994.
Mike Espy,
Secretary of Agriculture.
