    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 December 27, 1993, by the Chairman, 
    Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That 
    directive establishes an export visa arrangement for certain cotton, 
    wool and man-made fiber textile products, produced or manufactured 
    in the United Mexican States.
        Effective on April 15, 1994, you are directed to amend the 
    directive dated December 27, 1993 to provide for the use of a new 
    exempt certification stamp issued by the Government of the United 
    Mexican States to accompany shipments of hand-loomed fabrics of a 
    cottage industry; hand-made cottage industry goods made of such 
    hand-loomed fabrics; and traditional folklore handicraft textile and 
    apparel goods, produced or manufactured in Mexico and exported from 
    Mexico on and after April 15, 1994.
        Goods exported from Mexico from April 15, 1994 to May 15, 1994 
    may be accompanied by either the old or the new exempt certication 
    stamp. Goods exported from Mexico after May 15, 1994 must be 
    accompanied be the new exempt certification stamp.
        A facsimile of the exempt certification stamp is enclosed with 
    this letter.
        Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this 
    directive which are not accompanied by the new export certification 
    stamp shall be denied entry.
        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.
