PROCLAMACIÓN 7529, DE 5 DE MARZO DE 2002
Para facilitar el ajuste positivo a la competencia de las importaciones de ciertos
productos de acero
El Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América hace la siguienteProclamación
1. El 19 de diciembre de 2001, la Comisión de Comercio Internacional de los Estados Unidos
(USITC) transmitió al Presidente un informe sobre la investigación que había realizado con arreglo al
artículo 202 de la Ley de Comercio Exterior de 1974, modificada (la "Ley de Comercio Exterior")
(19 U.S.C. 2252), sobre las importaciones de ciertos productos de acero.
2. La USITC llegó, con arreglo al artículo 202(b) de la Ley de Comercio Exterior, a
determinaciones positivas en el sentido de que los productos siguientes se están importando en losEstados Unidos en cantidades tan superiores a las importadas anteriormente que son una causa
sustancial de daño grave, o de amenaza de daño grave, a las ramas de producción nacional que
producen artículos similares o directamente competitivos:  a) ciertos productos laminados planos de
acero al carbono, incluidos desbastes de acero al carbono y aleado ("desbastes");  chapas (con
inclusión de chapas cortadas a medida y chapas de acero revestido) ("chapas");  acero laminado encaliente (con inclusión de chapas en rollos) ("acero laminado en caliente");  acero laminado en frío
(excepto de acero de grano orientado para aplicaciones eléctricas) ("acero laminado en frío"), y acero
resistente a la corrosión y otros aceros revestidos ("acero revestido") (colectivamente, "ciertos
productos planos de acero"); b) barras y perfiles ligeros al carbono y aleados, laminados en caliente
("barras laminadas en caliente");  c) barras acabadas en frío al carbono y aleadas ("barras acabadas enfrío");  d) barras al carbono y aleadas ("barras de refuerzo");  e) productos tubulares soldados de acero
al carbono y aleado (excepto artículos tubulares para campos petrolíferos) ("ciertos productos
tubulares");  f) bridas, accesorios y juntas de herramientas de acero al carbono y aleado ("accesorios
de acero al carbono y aleado");  g) barras y perfiles ligeros de acero inoxidable ("barras de acero
inoxidable"), y h) varillas de acero inoxidable.  Los miembros de la USITC estuvieron divididos por
igual con respecto a la determinación requerida conforme al artículo 202(b) sobre i) los productos de
acero al carbono y aleado fundido con estaño ("productos de acero fundido con estaño") y ii) elalambre de acero inoxidable.
3. La USITC dio unas definiciones detalladas de los productos de las categorías a) a j) del
párrafo 2, y sus correspondientes subpartidas, del Arancel de Aduanas Armonizado de los Estados
Unidos (Arancel de Aduanas Arm onizado) en el apéndice A de su determinación, que figura en
66 Fed. Reg. 67304, 67308-67311 (28 de diciembre de 2 001).  El 4 de febrero de 2002, la USITC
presentó más información atendiendo una petición hecha por el Representante de los Estados Unidos
para las Cuestiones Comerciales Internacionales con arreglo al artículo 203(a)(5) de la Ley de
Comercio Exterior (19 U.S. 2253(a)(5)) (el "informe suplementario").
4. El artículo 330(d)(1) de la Ley Arancelaria  de 1930, modificada (19 U.S.C. 1330(d)(1)),
dispone que, cuando la USITC haya de determinar con arreglo al artículo 202(b) de la Ley deComercio Exterior si el aumento de las importaci ones de un artículo es causa sustancial de daño
grave, o de amenaza de daño grave, y los miembros de la Comisión que voten estén divididos por
igual con respecto a tal determinación, el Presidente podrá considerar que la determinación en que
hayan convenido uno u otro grupo de miembros de la Comisión es la determinación de la USITC.
Habiendo examinado las determinaciones de los miembros de la Comisión sobre los productosfundidos con estaño y el alambre de acero inoxidable, he decidido considerar las determinaciones deG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.1
Página 3
los grupos de miembros de la Comisión que han votado afirmativamente con respecto a cada uno de
esos productos como la determinación de la USITC.
5. Conforme a lo dispuesto en el artículo 311(a) de la Ley de Aplicación del Tratado de Libre
Comercio de América del Norte (la "Ley de Aplicación del TLCAN") (19 U.S.C. 3371(a)), la USITCformuló constataciones sobre si las importaciones del Canadá y de México, consideradas
individualmente, representaban una parte sustancial del total de las importaciones y contribuían de
manera importante al daño grave, o a la amenaza de daño grave, causado por las importaciones.  La
USITC formuló constataciones negativas con respecto a las importaciones procedentes del Canadá de
ciertos productos planos de acero, productos de acero fundido con estaño, barras de refuerzo, varillas
de acero inoxidable y alambre de acero inoxidable;  la USITC también formuló constataciones
negativas con respecto a las importaciones procedentes de México de productos de acero fundido conestaño, barras laminadas en caliente, barras acabadas en frío, barras de refuerzo, ciertos productos
tubulares, barras de acero inoxidable, varillas de acero inoxidable y alambre de acero inoxidable.  La
USITC formuló constataciones positivas con respecto a las importaciones procedentes del Canadá de
barras laminadas en caliente, barras acabadas en frío, accesorios de acero al carbono y aleado, y barras
de acero inoxidable;  la USITC también formuló constataciones positivas con respecto a lasimportaciones procedentes de México de ciertos productos planos de acero, y de accesorios de acero
al carbono y aleado.  Los miembros de la USITC estuvieron divididos por igual con respecto a las
importaciones procedentes del Canadá de ciertos productos tubulares.
6. Los miembros de la USITC que votaron afirmativamente con arreglo al artículo 202(b) de la
Ley de Comercio Exterior también transmitieron al Presidente las recomendaciones que habían hechoconforme al artículo 202(e) de la Ley de Comercio Exterior (19 U.S.C. 2252(e)) con respecto a las
medidas que, a su juicio, permitirían hacer frente al daño grave, o a la amenaza de daño grave, a las
ramas de producción nacional y serían más eficaces para facilitar los esfuerzos de esas ramas de
producción por ajustarse positivamente a la competencia de las importaciones.
7. Con arreglo al artículo 203 de la Ley de Comercio Exterior (19 U.S.C. 2253), y teniendo en
cuenta las consideraciones hechas en el artículo 203(a)(2) de la Ley de Comercio Exterior y el
informe suplementario de la USITC, he decidido adoptar medidas del tipo descrito en el
artículo 203(a)(3) (una "medida de salvaguardia") con respecto a los siguientes productos de acero:
a) ciertos productos planos de acero, consistentes en:  los desbastes a los que se refiere
el texto introductorio de las subpartidas 9903.72.30 a 9903.72.48 del anexo de esta
Proclamación;  las chapas a las que se refiere el texto introductorio de las
subpartidas 9903.72.50 a 9903.72.62 del anexo de esta Proclamación;  el acerolaminado en caliente al que se refiere el texto introductorio de las
subpartidas 9903.72.65 a 9903.72.82 del anexo de esta Proclamación;  el acero
laminado en frío al que se refiere el texto introductorio de las subpartidas 9903.72.85
a 9903.73.04 del anexo de esta Proclamación;  y el acero revestido al que se refiere el
texto introductorio de las subpartidas 9903.73.07 a 9903.73.23 del anexo de estaProclamación;
b) las barras laminadas en caliente a las que se refiere el texto introductorio de las
subpartidas 9903.73.42 a 9903.73.52 del anexo de esta Proclamación;
c) las barras acabadas en frío a las que se refiere el texto introductorio de las subpartidas
9903.73.55 a 9903.73.62 del anexo de esta Proclamación;
d) las barras de refuerzo a las que se refiere el texto introductorio de las subpartidas
9903.73.65 a 9903.73.71 del anexo de esta Proclamación;G/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1

e) ciertos productos tubulares a los que se refiere el texto introductorio de las
subpartidas 9903.73.74 a 9903.73.86 del anexo de esta Proclamación;
f) los accesorios de acero al carbono y aleado a los que se refiere el texto introductorio
de las subpartidas 9903.73.88 a 9903.73.95 del anexo de esta Proclamación;

subpartidas 9903.74.08 a 9903.74.16 del anexo de esta Proclamación;
i) los productos de acero fundido con estaño a los que se refiere el texto introductorio de
las subpartidas 9903.73.26 a 9903.73.39 del anexo de esta Proclamación;  y
j) el alambre de acero inoxidable al que se refiere el texto introductorio de las
subpartidas 9903.74.18 a 9903.74.24 del anexo de esta Proclamación.  Los productos
de acero enumerados en los apartados i) a ix) de la subdivisión b) de la Nota 11 de los
Estados Unidos al subcapítulo III del capítulo 99 del Arancel de Aduanas
Armonizado de los Estados Unidos ("Nota 11") del anexo a esta Proclamación fueron
excluidos de las determinaciones de la USITC descritas en el párrafo 2 y se excluyende estas medidas de salvaguardia.  También he decidido excluir de esas medidas de
salvaguardia los productos de acero enumerados en las cláusulas subsiguientes de la
subdivisión b) de la Nota 11 del anexo de esta Proclamación.
8. Conforme al artículo 312(a) de la Ley de Ap licación del TLCAN (19 U.S.C. 3372(a)), he
decidido, después de examinar el informe y el informe suplementario de la USITC, que lasimportaciones procedentes del Canadá y de México de ciertos productos planos de acero, productos
de acero fundido con estaño, barras laminadas en caliente, barras acabadas en frío, barras de refuerzo,
ciertos productos tubulares, accesorios de acero al carbono y aleado, barras de acero inoxidable,
varillas de acero inoxidable y alambre de acero inoxidable, considerados individualmente, no
representan una parte sustancial del total de las importaciones o no contribuyen de manera importanteal daño grave o a la amenaza de daño grave constatados por la USITC.  En consecuencia, con arreglo
al artículo 312(b) de la Ley de Aplicación del TLCAN (19 U.S.C. 3372(b)), he excluido de las
medidas que adopto conforme al artículo 203 de la Ley de Comercio Exterior ciertos productos planos
de acero, productos de acero fundido con estaño, barras laminadas en caliente, barras acabadas en frío,
barras de refuerzo, ciertos productos tubulares, accesorios de acero al carbono y aleado, barras de
acero inoxidable, varillas de acero inoxidable y alambre de acero inoxidable producidos en México o
en el Canadá.
9. Conforme al artículo 203 de la Ley de Comerc io Exterior (19 U.S.C. 2253), las medidas que
he decidido adoptar serán medidas de salvaguardia consistentes en:  a) un contingente arancelario
aplicable a las importaciones de los desbastes descritos en el párrafo 7, impuesto durante un plazo de
tres años y un día, con aumentos anuales de las cantidades comprendidas en el contingente y
reducciones anuales de los derechos aplicables a las mercancías importadas que excedan de esascantidades en los años segundo y tercero, y b) un aumento de los derechos aplicables a las
importaciones de ciertos productos planos de acero, excepto los desbastes (incluyendo las chapas, el
acero laminado en caliente, el acero laminado en frío y el acero revestido), las barras laminadas en
caliente, las barras acabadas en frío, las barras de refuerzo, ciertos productos tubulares soldados, los
accesorios de acero al carbono y aleado, las barras de acero inoxidable, las varillas de aceroinoxidable, los productos de acero fundido con estaño  y el alambre de acero inoxidable descritos en elG/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1
G/SG/N/11/USA/5/Suppl.1
Página 5
párrafo 7, durante un plazo de tres años y un día, con reducciones anuales de los derechos aplicables
en los años segundo y tercero, conforme a lo dispuesto en el anexo de esta Proclamación.
10. Las medidas de salvaguardia descritas en el párrafo 9 no se aplicarán a los productos
enumerados en los apartados que siguen al apartado ix) de la subdivisión b) de la Nota 11 del anexode esta Proclamación.
11. Estas medidas de salvaguardia se aplicarán a las importaciones procedentes de todos los
países, excepto el Canadá, Israel, Jordania y México.
12. Estas medidas de salvaguardia no se aplicarán a las importaciones de ninguno de los
productos descritos en el párrafo 7 de un país en desarrollo que sea Miembro de la Organización
Mundial del Comercio (OMC), siempre que la parte correspondiente a ese país dentro de las
importaciones totales del producto, sobre la base de las importaciones efectuadas durante un períodorepresentativo reciente, no exceda del 3 por ciento, siempre que las importaciones producidas en todos
esos países cuya parte dentro de las importaciones sea de menos del 3 por ciento no representen en
conjunto más del 9 por ciento del total de las importaciones del producto.  Si determino que el rápido
aumento de las importaciones de uno de los productos descritos en el párrafo 7 de un país en
desarrollo Miembro de la OMC menoscaba la eficacia de la medida de salvaguardia pertinente, semodificará esa medida de salvaguardia para aplicarla a ese producto de ese país.
13. Las cantidades comprendidas cada año en el contingente arancelario descrito en el párrafo 9
se distribuirán entre todos los países, excepto aquellos cuyos productos estén excluidos de tal
contingente arancelario conforme a los párrafos 11 y 12.
14. Conforme al artículo 203(a)(1)(A) de la Ley de  Comercio Exterior (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(1)(A)),
he determinado también que estas medidas de salvaguardia facilitarán los esfuerzos de la rama de
producción nacional para ajustarse positivamente a la competencia de las importaciones y para lograr
que los beneficios económicos y sociales sean mayores que los costos.  Si determino que la adopción
de nuevas medidas es procedente y factible para facilitar los esfuerzos de la rama de producción
nacional pertinente para efectuar un ajuste positivo a la competencia de las importaciones y para quelos beneficios económicos y sociales sean mayores que los costos, o si determino que se cumplen las
condiciones establecidas en el artículo 204(b)(1) de la Ley de Comercio Exterior, reduciré, modificaré
o suprimiré en consecuencia la medida establecida en esta Proclamación.  Además, si, como resultado
de las consultas celebradas entre los Estados Unidos y otros Miembros de la OMC con arreglo al
párrafo 3 del artículo 12 del Acuerdo sobre Salvaguardias de la OMC, determino, dentro de los
30 días siguientes a la fecha de esta Proclamación, que es necesario reducir, modificar o suprimir una
medida de salvaguardia, proclamaré, en un plazo de 40 días, la reducción, modificación o supresióncorrespondientes de la medida de salvaguardia.
15. El artículo 604 de la Ley de Comercio Exterior, modificada (19 U.S.C. 2483), autoriza al
Presidente a incorporar en el Arancel de Aduanas Armonizado de los Estados Unidos el contenido de
las disposiciones pertinentes de esa Ley, así como de otras leyes que afecten al trato dado a las
importaciones, y las medidas adoptadas al amparo de esas leyes, incluyendo la supresión,modificación, continuación o imposición de cualquier derecho u otra restricción a la importación.
EN CONSECUENCIA, YO, GEORGE W. BUSH, Presidente de los Estados Unidos de
América, en ejercicio de las facultades que me han sido conferidas por la Constitución y las leyes de
los Estados Unidos, incluyendo, pero no exhaustivamente, los artículos 203 y 604 de la Ley de
Comercio Exterior y el artículo 301 del título 3 del Código de los Estados Unidos, proclamo que:G/SG/N/10/USA/6/Suppl.1
