SUBJECT: MFN STATUS FOR FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA
QUESTIONS HAVE ARISEN REGARDING THE MOST FAVORED NATION (MFN)
STATUS FOR THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA (SERBIA AND
MONTENEGRO) (FRY).
THIS NOTICE IS TO ADVISE YOU THAT THE MFN STATUS OF THE FRY HAS
NOT BEEN REINSTATED. PUBLIC LAW 102-420 WITHDREW MFN STATUS FROM
THE FRY ON OCTOBER 16, 1992. AS OF THIS DATE, THE CONDITIONS SET
FORTH IN P.L. 102-420 FOR REINSTATEMENT OF MFN STATUS HAVE NOT
BEEN MET.
IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR, THE SANCTIONS IMPOSED ON THE FRY WERE
SUSPENDED. INADVERTENTLY, CUSTOMS ALLOWED ENTRY OF FRY GOODS
UNDER MFN RATES AT THE SAME TIME. ONLY RECENTLY HAVE WE
DISCOVERED THIS INADVERTENCE.
ACCORDINGLY, IMPORTATIONS FROM THE FRY WILL CONTINUE TO BE
DUTIABLE AT THE COLUMN 2 RATES.
ACTION: THE LIQUIDATION OF THOSE SUMMARIES ENTERED AT THE COLUMN
1 RATE SHOULD BE UNSET AND LIQUIDATED AT THE COLUMN 2 RATE.
ALSO, ENTRIES THAT HAVE BEEN LIQUIDATED AT THE COLUMN 1 RATE
SHOULD BE RELIQUIDATED AT THE COLUMN 2 RATE.
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ABOVE SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO CAROL
ARGENTINE AT (202) 927-0021.
