Proclamation 6804 of May 22, 1995
To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the
Generalized
System of Preferences and for Other Purposes
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
1. Pursuant to section 504(c) of the Trade Act of 1974,
as amended (``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2464(c)),
beneficiary developing countries, except those
designated as least-developed beneficiary developing
countries pursuant to section 504(c)(6) of the Trade
Act, are subject to limitations on the preferential
treatment afforded under the Generalized System of
Preferences (GSP). I have determined, pursuant to
sections 504(a)(1), (c)(1), and (c)(2) of the Trade Act
(19 U.S.C. 2464(a)(1), (c)(1), and (c)(2)), that
certain beneficiary developing countries should no
longer receive preferential tariff treatment under the
GSP with respect to certain eligible articles.
2. To reflect clearly the names of certain beneficiary
developing countries under the GSP, I have decided that
it is necessary and appropriate to modify general note
4 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS).
3. In Proclamation No. 6767 of February 3, 1995,
conforming changes with respect to certain articles
under the GSP were omitted. I have decided that it is
necessary and appropriate to modify the HTS to make
such conforming changes.
4. Proclamation No. 6763 of December 23, 1994,
implemented the Uruguay Round Agreements, including
Schedule XX, with respect to the United States and
incorporated in the HTS tariff modifications necessary
and appropriate to carry out the Uruguay Round
Agreements. Certain technical errors, including
inadvertent omissions, were made in that proclamation.
I have determined that it is necessary to reflect
accurately the intended tariff treatment provided for
in the Uruguay Round Agreements to modify certain
provisions of the HTS as set forth in Annex III to this
proclamation.
5. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483)
authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the
substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and
of other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions
thereunder, including the removal, modification,
continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other
import restriction.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, acting under the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, including but not limited to sections
504 and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:
(1)(a) To make certain conforming changes, the
Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for each of the HTS
subheadings enumerated in Annex I(A) to this
proclamation is modified: (i) by deleting the symbol
``A*'' in parentheses, and (ii) by inserting the symbol
``A'' in lieu thereof.
(b) To provide that one or more countries should no
longer be treated as a beneficiary developing country
with respect to an eligible article for purposes of the
GSP, the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for each of
the HTS provisions enumerated in Annex I(B) to this
proclamation is modified: (i) by deleting the symbol
``A'' in parentheses, and (ii) by inserting the symbol
``A*'' in lieu thereof. [[Page 27658]]
(2) To reflect clearly the names of certain
beneficiaries and to provide that one or more countries
are no longer to be treated as beneficiary developing
countries with respect to an eligible article for
purposes of the GSP, general note 4 to the HTS is
modified as provided in Annex II to this proclamation.
(3) The HTS is modified as provided in Annex III to
this proclamation.
(4) Any provisions of previous proclamations and
Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of
this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent
of such inconsistency.
(5)(a) The modifications made by Annexes I and II
to this proclamation shall be effective with respect to
articles both: (i) imported on or after January 1,
1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, on or after July 1, 1995.
(b) The modifications made by Annex III to this
proclamation shall be effective with respect to
articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, on or after the dates specified in such
annex.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
thistwenty-second day of May, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and ninety-five, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and nineteenth.
(Presidential Sig.)
