Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements
August 21, 1995.
Commissioner of Customs,
Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20229.1
    Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
the directive issued to you on January 6, 1995, by the Chairman, 
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That 
directive directs you to prohibit entry of certain cotton and man-
made fiber textile products, produced or manufactured in El Salvador 
which were not properly visaed by the Government of El Salvador.
    Effective on September 1, 1995, you are directed to require a 
visa for goods in Categories 351, 651, 352 and 652 which are 
produced or manufactured in El Salvador and exported from El 
Salvador on and after September 1, 1995. Shipments of goods in 
Categories 351, 651, 352 and 652 may be visaed as merged Categories 
351/651 and 352/652 or the correct category corresponding to the 
actual shipment. Goods exported during the period September 1, 1995 
through September 30, 1995 shall not be denied entry for lack of a 
visa.
    Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this 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.
