Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements
January 24, 1995.
Commissioner of Customs,
Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20229.
Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel,
the directive issued to you on November 14, 1988, by the Chairman,
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That
directive directed you to prohibit entry of certain cotton and man-
made fiber textile products, produced or manufactured in Bangladesh
for which the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has
not issued an appropriate visa.
Effective on February 1, 1995, you are directed to amend further
the November 14, 1988 directive to include the coverage of merged
Categories 352/652 for goods produced or manufactured in Bangladesh
and exported from Bangladesh on and after February 1, 1995.
Merchandise in Categories 352/652 may be accompanied by either the
appropriate merged categories or the correct category corresponding
to the actual shipment.
Merchandise in Categories 352 and 652 which is exported from
Bangladesh prior to February 1, 1995 shall not be denied entry if
accompanied by a merged category 352/652 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Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this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.
