ARTICLE XXVIII:5 NEGOTIATIONS
Schedule V – Canada
Further to its notification G/SECRET/HS96/7, Canada is submitting the attached technical
corrections to the above-mentioned notification of modifications and rectifications relating to HS96
changes.  Table 11 identifies the HS96 tariff lines, and their corresponding tariff rates and
implementation dates, in Canada's notification G/SECRET/HS96/7 which are being rectified by this
new notification.  Table 21 shows the rectifications that are being notified by way of this new
notification.  These technical corrections are being made to take into account comments made by a
Member.
The rectifications involve:
1) deleting tariff item 2106.90.97 since these alcoholic preparations with a strength not
exceeding 0.5 per cent are already covered under tariff item 2106.90.99; and
2) correcting the Base Rate of Duty and the Bound Rate of Duty for tariff item 2208.60.00
(vodka) to those rates shown in attached Table 2;
3) adding a footnote to the Bound Rate of Duty for tariff item 3301.90.00 to preserve the zero
bound rate for extracted oleoresins classified under this tariff item; and
4) replacing tariff item 3302.10.10 and its corresponding tariff rates and implementation date,
with the two newly created tariff items 3302.10.11 and 3302.10.12, with the corresponding
tariff rates and implementation dates shown in Table 2.  For information purposes, thepre-HS96 parent tariff item for the relevant goods now classified under 3302.10.11 is
2208.10.00 with a Base Rate of Duty of $1.10/litre and 30 per cent.  The pre-HS96 parent
tariff item for the goods now classified under 3302.10.12 is 2106.90.99 with a Base Rate of
Duty of 17.1 per cent.  The columns "Bound Rate of Duty" and "Final Implementation Date"
show the annual bound rate for each of the remaining years of the implementation period.
