NOTIFICATION
The following notification concerning the use of special safeguard provisions ( Table MA:5 )
for calendar year 2001 was received from the delegation of the United States on 18 July 2002.
_______________
The United States invokes price-based safeguards automatically on a shipment-by-shipment
basis.  Importers who enter goods under an over-quota tariff line are required to declare whichpre-established price range is applicable to their product.  If there is a safeguard duty associated with
that price range, the additional charge is assessed.  Entries where the safeguard duties were assessed
during the reporting period are summarized in this notification.  While not required by the format,
information on affected quantities is provided for illustrative purposes.  Multiple transactions
involving the same product have been aggregated for the purposes of this notification.G/AG/N/USA/41
