SUBJECT: NAFTA FACT SHEET # 15\VBT-94-02--ELIMINATION OF THE
ITA-370P FORM FOR MEXICO
REFER: VBT-94-01
COUNTRY: MEXICO
ACTION: PURSUANT TO A DIRECTIVE ISSUED BY THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE AGREEMENTS (CITA), EFFECTIVE
JANUARY 1, 1994, THE ITA-370P FORM WILL NOT BE REQUIRED
FOR MERCHANDISE ENTERED UNDER HTS 9802.00.9000 THAT IS
ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO FROM FABRIC FORMED AND CUT IN THE
UNITED STATES. ALSO, ITA-370PS ARE NOT TO BE ACCEPTED
FOR FABRIC FORMED AND CUT IN THE U.S. AND EXPORTED TO
MEXICO FOR ASSEMBLY.
IMPORTERS WHO MAKE ENTRY UNDER 9802.00.9000 ARE STILL
REQUIRED TO KEEP RECORDS TO SUBSTANTIATE THE USE OF
FABRIC FORMED AND CUT IN THE U.S.
ALSO, BECAUSE HTS 9802.00.9000 ALLOWS FOR GARMENT
DYEING, ACID WASHING, ETC., THE "H" PREFIX FOR MEXICO
HAS BEEN ELIMINATED.
FINALLY, TEXTILE MERCHANDISE ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO FROM
FABRIC FORMED AND CUT IN THE U.S. CAN NO LONGER ENTER
UNDER 9802.00.8015 (FORMERLY 9802.00.8010). TEXTILE
MERCHANDISE ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO UNDER THE OLD 807
PROGRAM MUST EITHER BE ENTERED UNDER 9802.00.9000 (THE
OLD SPECIAL REGIME NUMBER), 9802.00.8055 (IF ENTERING
