                Proclamation 6804 of May 22, 1995

                
To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the 
                Generalized
                System of Preferences and for Other Purposes

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. Pursuant to section 504(c) of the Trade Act of 1974, 
                as amended (``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2464(c)), 
                beneficiary developing countries, except those 
                designated as least-developed beneficiary developing 
                countries pursuant to section 504(c)(6) of the Trade 
                Act, are subject to limitations on the preferential 
                treatment afforded under the Generalized System of 
                Preferences (GSP). I have determined, pursuant to 
                sections 504(a)(1), (c)(1), and (c)(2) of the Trade Act 
                (19 U.S.C. 2464(a)(1), (c)(1), and (c)(2)), that 
                certain beneficiary developing countries should no 
                longer receive preferential tariff treatment under the 
                GSP with respect to certain eligible articles.

                2. To reflect clearly the names of certain beneficiary 
                developing countries under the GSP, I have decided that 
                it is necessary and appropriate to modify general note 
                4 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
                States (HTS).

                3. In Proclamation No. 6767 of February 3, 1995, 
                conforming changes with respect to certain articles 
                under the GSP were omitted. I have decided that it is 
                necessary and appropriate to modify the HTS to make 
                such conforming changes.

                4. Proclamation No. 6763 of December 23, 1994, 
                implemented the Uruguay Round Agreements, including 
                Schedule XX, with respect to the United States and 
                incorporated in the HTS tariff modifications necessary 
                and appropriate to carry out the Uruguay Round 
                Agreements. Certain technical errors, including 
                inadvertent omissions, were made in that proclamation. 
                I have determined that it is necessary to reflect 
                accurately the intended tariff treatment provided for 
                in the Uruguay Round Agreements to modify certain 
                provisions of the HTS as set forth in Annex III to this 
                proclamation.

                5. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) 
                authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the 
                substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and 
                of other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions 
                thereunder, including the removal, modification, 
                continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other 
                import restriction.

                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, including but not limited to sections 
                504 and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

                    (1)(a) To make certain conforming changes, the 
                Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for each of the HTS 
                subheadings enumerated in Annex I(A) to this 
                proclamation is modified: (i) by deleting the symbol 
                ``A*'' in parentheses, and (ii) by inserting the symbol 
                ``A'' in lieu thereof.
                    (b) To provide that one or more countries should no 
                longer be treated as a beneficiary developing country 
                with respect to an eligible article for purposes of the 
                GSP, the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for each of 
                the HTS provisions enumerated in Annex I(B) to this 
                proclamation is modified: (i) by deleting the symbol 
                ``A'' in parentheses, and (ii) by inserting the symbol 
                ``A*'' in lieu thereof. [[Page 27658]] 
                    (2) To reflect clearly the names of certain 
                beneficiaries and to provide that one or more countries 
                are no longer to be treated as beneficiary developing 
                countries with respect to an eligible article for 
                purposes of the GSP, general note 4 to the HTS is 
                modified as provided in Annex II to this proclamation.
                    (3) The HTS is modified as provided in Annex III to 
                this proclamation.
                    (4) Any provisions of previous proclamations and 
                Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of 
                this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent 
                of such inconsistency.
                    (5)(a) The modifications made by Annexes I and II 
                to this proclamation shall be effective with respect to 
                articles both: (i) imported on or after January 1, 
                1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
                consumption, on or after July 1, 1995.
                    (b) The modifications made by Annex III to this 
                proclamation shall be effective with respect to 
                articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
                consumption, on or after the dates specified in such 
                annex.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand 
                thistwenty-second day of May, in the year of our Lord 
                nineteen hundred and ninety-five, and of the 
                Independence of the United States of America the two 
                hundred and nineteenth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
