Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel,
the directive issued to you on March 5, 1984, as amended, by the
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
That directive directs you to prohibit entry of certain wool and
man-made fiber textile products, produced or manufactured in Hungary
for which the Government of the Republic of Hungary has not issued
an appropriate visa.
Effective on November 1, 1994, you are directed to amend further
the directive dated March 5, 1984, to provide for the use of a new
visa stamp to accompany shipments of textile products, produced or
manufactured in Hungary and exported from Hungary on or after
November 1, 1994. Goods produced or manufactured in Hungary and
exported from Hungary during the period November 1, 1994 through
December 31, 1994 shall be permitted entry if accompanied by either
the old or new visa stamp. Merchandise exported from Hungary on or
after January 1, 1995 which is not accompanied by the new visa stamp
shall be denied entry. A facsimile of the new visa stamp is enclosed
with this letter.
Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this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.
