DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Customs Service
List of Foreign Entities Violating Textile Transshipment Rules
AGENCY: U.S. Customs Service, Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: General notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document notifies the public that the list of foreign
entities identified by Customs as having violated the textile
transshipment rules--authorized to be published by section 333(a) of
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act--will not be published for this
semiannual period, because Customs has not identified any violators
during this time period that clearly fall within the purview of this
section.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Richard Crichton, Textile Industry
Team, (202) 927-0001 or 927-0162.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 333 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) (Public Law
103-465, 108 Stat. 4809) (signed December 12, 1994), entitled Textile
Transshipments, amended Part V of title IV of the Tariff Act of 1930 by
creating a new section 592A, which authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury to publish in the Federal Register a list of foreign entities,
i.e., the names of any producers, manufacturers, suppliers, sellers,
exporters, or any other persons located outside the Customs territory
of the United States, against whom Customs has issued a penalty claim
under section 592 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, citing a
violation of the Customs textile transshipment rules. See, 19 U.S.C.
1592A(a)(2). The list is to be published semiannually not later than
March 31 and September 30 of each year.
In reviewing all information available, Customs has found that no
one clearly falls within the purview of this section during this time
period. Accordingly, no list will be published for the period ending
March 31, 1995.
Dated: March 30, 1995.

Assistant Commissioner, Office of Regulations and Rulings.
