BACKGROUND:
YOU WERE NOTIFIED IN EMAIL MESSAGE 3330071, DATED NOVEMBER
25, 1992, THAT PRESIDENT BUSH HAD WITHDRAWN DUTY-FREE TREATMENT
ACCORDED UNDER THE GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF PREFERENCES (GSP) TO
POLYPROPYLENE FROM MEXICO, PROVIDED FOR IN HEADING 3902.10.00 OF
THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE UNITED STATES (HTS). THE
WITHDRAWAL OF BENEFITS WAS EFFECTIVE AS TO ARTICLES ENTERED OR
WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE FOR CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 10,
1992.
BECAUSE THE 1993 TARIFF SCHEDULE HAD ALREADY GONE TO PRESS
WHEN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WITHDRAWAL WAS MADE, THE CHANGE DOES NOT
APPEAR IN THE 1993 TARIFF. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS NECESSARY TO MAKE
PEN AND INK CHANGES TO THE 1993 TARIFF PENDING THE ISSUANCE OF AN
UPDATED SUPPLEMENT.
ACTION:
1. EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT TO ARTICLES ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN
FROM WAREHOUSE FOR CONSUMPTION, ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 10,
1992, THE HTS IS MODIFIED BY (I) DELETING THE SYMBOL "A" IN
PARENTHESES FROM THE DUTY 1-SPECIAL SUBCOLUMN OPPOSITE HTS
3902.10.00, AND (II) BY INSERTING THE SYMBOL "A*" IN LIEU
THEREOF.
2. GENERAL NOTE 3(C)(II)(D) TO THE HTS IS MODIFIED BY
INSERTING, IN NUMERICAL SEQUENCE, THE FOLLOWING:
"3902.10.00 MEXICO"
QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS NOTICE SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO LISA
CROSBY, TRADE AGREEMENTS BRANCH, AT (202)927-0163.
