                Proclamation 7335 of August 27, 2000

                
To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the 
                Generalized System of Preferences

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act of 
                1974, as amended (the ``1974 Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 
                2462), the President is authorized to designate 
                countries as beneficiary developing countries for 
                purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences 
                (GSP).

                2. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the 1974 Act, 
                and having due regard for the eligibility criteria set 
                forth therein, I have determined that it is appropriate 
                to designate Nigeria as a beneficiary developing 
                country for purposes of the GSP.

                3. Section 604 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) 
                authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized 
                Tariff Schedule of the United States (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 of America, including but not limited to 
                title V and section 604 of the 1974 Act, do proclaim 
                that:

                    (1) In order to reflect in the HTS the addition of 
                Nigeria as a beneficiary country under the GSP, general 
                note 4(a) to the HTS is modified by adding ``Nigeria'' 
                to the list of independent countries, effective with 
                respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from 
                warehouse for consumption, on or after the date of 
                signature of this proclamation.
                    (2) Any provisions of previous proclamations and 
                Executive Orders that are inconsistent with the actions 
                taken in this proclamation are superseded to the extent 
                of such inconsistency.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-seventh day of August, in the year of our Lord 
                two thousand, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
