NOTIFICATION 
The following submission, dated 20 January 2016,  is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the United States of America . The notification concerns the use of special 
safeguard provisions ( Table MA:5 ) for the calendar years 2013  and 2014 . 
 
_______________ 
 
 U.S. price-based safeguards are invoked automatically on a shipment-by-shipment basis. Importers that enter goods under an over-quota tariff line are required to declare which 
pre-established price range is applicable to its prod uct. If there is a safeguard duty associated with 
that price range, the additional charge is a ssessed. 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.
