\* Note:

Cotton tentative tariffs are specified as below:

> Tentative variable tariffs shall be applied to cotton imports out of
> TRQ between June 5, 2008 and October 5, 2008. For details, refer to
> formulas below:

1.  A volume-based tariff of U.S. \$51 per MT (currently U.S. \$81 per
    MT) shall apply when import prices are no less than U.S. \$1,702 per
    MT (currently U.S. \$1,628 per MT).

2.  Tentative tariffs shall follow the follow formula

> Ri = 8.868/Pi + 2.526%\*Pi-1 (result to be rounded to 3 digits after
> decimal)
>
> "Ri" refers to tentative tariff. When the value is higher than 40
> percent resulting from the formula, the tentative tariff (Ri) of 40
> percent shall apply. "Pi" refers to import price.
