RE: NEW ISO CODES FOR CZECHOSLOVAKIA
PASS TO: ALL NATIONAL IMPORT SPECIALISTS, IMPORT SPECIALISTS,
ENTRY OFFICERS, INSPECTORS, LIQUIDATORS, AND OTHER
INTERESTED PARTIES SUCH AS BROKERS, IMPORTERS, AND
EXPORTERS
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1993, THE COUNTRY OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA DIVIDED
INTO TWO ENTITIES, "THE CZECH REPUBLIC" AND "SLOVAKIA".
WE HAVE JUST BEEN ADVISED THAT USE OF BOTH THE ISO CODE (CS) AND
SCHEDULE C CODE (435.0) FOR CZECHOSLOVAKIA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED.
IN ITS PLACE NEW CODES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THE TWO
ENTITIES. THE NEW OFFICIAL CODES FOR THESE ENTITIES ARE AS
FOLLOWS:
CZ : THE CZECH REPUBLIC (SCHEDULE C CODE 435.1)
SQ : SLOVAKIA (SCHEDULE C CODE 435.9)
THESE NEW CODES ARE TO BE USED FOR GOODS ENTERED OR WITHDRAWN
FROM WAREHOUSE FOR CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 1993. BOTH
THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND SLOVAKIA WILL BE AFFORDED MOST-FAVORED-
NATION STATUS AS WELL AS RECEIVE THE BENEFITS UNDER THE
GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF PREFERENCES (GSP). THE ISO CODE "CS" AND
THE SCHEDULE C CODE "435.0", IDENTIFYING CZECHOSLOVAKIA WILL NO
LONGER BE USED.
PLEASE CHECK ALL ENTRIES FROM THESE NEW COUNTRIES TO ENSURE THAT
THE CORRECT ISO CODE(S) HAVE BEEN USED. THE ACS COUNTRY FILE HAS
BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT THESE NEW CODES.
