SUBJECT: NEW SPI INDICATOR FOR GOODS FROM THE
WEST BANK AND GAZA
THE ISSUANCE OF PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION #6955 GRANTING
DUTY-FREE TREATMENT OF PRODUCTS FROM THE WEST BANK AND THE
GAZA STRIP AND QUALIFYING INDUSTRIAL ZONE, WAS EFFECTIVE
NOVEMBER 21, 1996. SEE FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE VOL. 61
NO.223 DATED MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1996 FOR SPECIFICS.
THIS MESSAGE IS NOTIFICATION THAT A NEW PREFIX HAS BEEN
CREATED WHICH WILL BE USED ON THE CF 7501 AS AN INDICATOR OF
THE DUTY-FREE STATUS FOR PRODUCTS WITHIN THIS CATEGORY. THE
USE OF THE INDICATOR "N" WAS EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 1, 1997 AND
WILL BE USED FOR ALL PRODUCTS OF THE WEST BANK AND GAZA
STRIP.
BECAUSE THE CUSTOMS ACS SYSTEM CANNOT FACILITATE THE CHANGE
AT PRESENT, ENTRIES FILED WITH SPI "N" FOR PRODUCTS COMING
FROM THE WEST BANK AND GAZA STRIP, MUST BE FILED MANUALLY AT
BOTH RELEASE (3461) AND SUMMARY (CF 7501).
A SUBSEQUENT MESSAGE WILL BE RELEASED WHEN THE APPROPRIATE
CHANGES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE ABOVE
SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO MS. MARSHA MALBROUGH, STATISTICS,
OFFICE OF TRADE COMPLIANCE AT 202 927-0457.
