Excellency,
Inresponse totherequest bytheTMB, transmitted byyour letters of30January and14
October 1997, andinlightoftheresults oftheexamination ofparticular elements ofintegration
programmes notified byMembers thatisbeing conducted bytheTMB, Brazil hasundertaken a
comprehensive assessment ofitsfirstandsecond integration programmes.
Asaresult ofthisassessment, Brazil hasidentified HSlinesatthe10-digit leveloftheBrazilian
nomenclature thatwereintegrated inthetwostages thatdonotfallunder thecoverage oftheATC.
Brazil hasalsoexamined alltheproducts thatcomprised thevolume ofits1990 imports notified to
theTMB, andhasverified thatthere areother parts ofHSlinesthatdonotfallunder thecoverage
oftheATC.
With theexclusion ofthetrade corresponding totheparts ofHSlinesthatdonotfallunder
thecoverage oftheATC, thetotalimport volume for1990 becomes 9,296,458 kilograms (instead
oftheprevious notified volume of11,820,460 kilograms).
InStage 1,withtheexclusion ofthetrade corresponding topartofanHSlinethatdoesnot
fallunder thecoverage oftheATC (item 7019200200 oftheBrazilian Nomenclature), thevolume
integrated amounts to1,853,278 kilograms, which corresponds to19.93 percentofBrazil 's1990total
import volume.
InStage 2,withtheexclusion ofthetrade corresponding topartofanHSlinethatdoesnot
fallunder thecoverage oftheATC (item 7019109900), thevolume integrated amounts to
577,776 kilograms, which corresponds to6.21percentofBrazil 's1990totalimport volume. Inorder
torectify thisshortfall, Brazil willintegrate trade corresponding toadditional parts ofHSlinesthat
amount to1,003,261 kilograms. Therevised volume ofintegration forStage 2willtherefore beof
1,581,037 kilograms, which corresponds to17percentofBrazil 's1990 totalimport volume.G/TMB/N/49/Corr.1
