Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements

Commissioner of Customs,
Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20229.1
Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel,
the directive issued to you on January 6, 1995, by the Chairman,
Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. That
directive directs you to prohibit entry of certain cotton and man-
made fiber textile products, produced or manufactured in El Salvador
which were not properly visaed by the Government of El Salvador.
Effective on September 1, 1995, you are directed to require a
visa for goods in Categories 351, 651, 352 and 652 which are
produced or manufactured in El Salvador and exported from El
Salvador on and after September 1, 1995. Shipments of goods in
Categories 351, 651, 352 and 652 may be visaed as merged Categories
351/651 and 352/652 or the correct category corresponding to the
actual shipment. Goods exported during the period September 1, 1995
through September 30, 1995 shall not be denied entry for lack of a
visa.
Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this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,
Rita D. Hayes,
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements.
