COMMITTEE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE AGREEMENTS


Staged Entry of China Safeguard Overshipments to be Affected by 
the Reclassification of Shipments That Were Entered Incorrectly

February 1, 2006.
AGENCY: The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements 
(CITA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ross Arnold, International Trade 
Specialist, Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, (202) 482-4212.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: Section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as 
amended (7 U.S.C. 1854); Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as 
amended.
    As the result of an investigation into the evasion of China 
safeguard quotas, CBP has seized shipments of apparel from China that 
had been deliberately misdescribed and misclassified as being of 
``ramie'' fabric, but which were actually of cotton and/or man-made 
fiber. Further investigation has found that shipments had already 
entered as being of ``ramie'' fabric, but were also of cotton and/or 
man-made fiber.
    U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will adjust individual 
entries that had been entered incorrectly in 2005 to reflect the 
correct classification of apparel that should have entered and been 
charged against the 2005 safeguard limits in categories 338/339, 347/
348, and 647/648. Any adjusted charges will be applied to scheduled 
staged entries of overshipments (70 FR 72427), beginning on March 1, 
2006. This action may impact the amount of additional shipments that 
will be released during this and subsequent staged entries.

James C. Leonard III,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
