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 March 5, 1984, as amended, by the
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
That directive directed you to prohibit entry of certain textile
products, produced or manufactured in Hungary for which the
Government of the Republic of Hungary has not issued an appropriate
export visa.
Beginning on February 1, 1998, you are directed to amend further
the directive dated March 5, 1984 to provide for the use of a new
export visa stamp issued by the Government of the Republic of
Hungary to accompany shipments of textile products, produced or
manufactured in Hungary and exported from Hungary on or after
February 1, 1998.
Textile products exported from Hungary during the period
February 1, 1998 through February 28, 1998 may be accompanied by
either the old or new export visa stamp. Products exported from
Hungary on or after March 1, 1998 must be accompanied by the new
export visa stamp.
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Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this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,
Troy H. Cribb,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
