COMMITTEE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE AGREEMENTS

AGENCY: Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ross Arnold or Janet Heinzen, 
International Trade Specialists, Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972, as amended; 
section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
1854).

    It has come to CITA's attention that some textile and apparel 
products may be shipped in excess of 1995 limits with the expectation 
that they will be entered and charged against the limits of the 1996 
quota year. This notice serves to remind interested parties that 
charges against the limits subject to U.S. bilateral agreements, the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act and the Uruguay Round Agreement on 
Textiles and Clothing (ATC) are by date of export and not date of 
entry. Shipments made in one year in excess of agreed limits are in 
violation of the terms of the agreements.
    It has been the practice of the Committee for the Implementation of 
Textile Agreements (CITA) to charge merchandise exceeding the limit(s) 
established for one quota period, if entered or withdrawn from 
warehouse for consumption, to the limit(s) established for the 
immediately subsequent quota period. The purpose of this notice is to 
advise the public that CITA reserves the right under the bilateral 
agreements, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act and the ATC to deny entry 
permanently to goods which have been overshipped, or to allow entry and 
charge to the following restraint period merchandise exported during a 
prior quota period which exceeds the restraint limit(s) established for 
that period.
D. Michael Hutchinson,
Acting Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile 
Agreements.
