de l'Égypte.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Conformément aux Procédures de modification et de rectification des Listes de concessions 
tarifaires énoncées dans la Décision du 26  mars 1980 (IBDD, S27/26), l'Égypte notifie les projets 
de rectifications techniques concernant la Liste L XIII mentionnés dans les pièces jointes.1 
 
Après que la transposition de la Liste LXIII – Égypte dans le SH2007 a été certifiée dans le 
document WT/Let/1038, l'Égypte a relevé un certain nombre d'erreurs et d'incohérences 
consécutives à l'introduction des engagements au titre de l'ATI.  
 
Afin de corriger ces erreurs, l'Égypte a élaboré, avec l'aide du Secrétariat de l'OMC, la présente 
rectification destinée à:  
 
i) remplacer le type de consolidation pour la ligne tarifa ire 84219100 par "Unbound" 
(Non consolid é) conformément à la liste ATI de l'Égypte, certifiée dans le document 
WT/Let/459;  
 
ii) subdiviser la ligne tarifaire 85299090 pour faire apparaître la partie non consolidée 
conformément à la liste ATI de l'Égypte, certifiée dans le document WT/Let/459;  
 
iii) subdiviser la ligne tarifaire 90319000 pour faire apparaître les parties relevant de l'ATI 
sous les sous -positions 90319010 et 90319020 et la partie non consolidée sous la 
sous-position 90319090 conformément à la liste ATI de l'Égypte, certifié e dans le 
document WT/Let/459.  
 
Des notes explicatives détaillée s figurent dans la pièce jointe  1. Le projet proposant les 
rectifications figure dans la pièce jointe 2 . Les rectifications proposées ne modifient pas la portée 
des concessions consenties par l'Égypt e dans le cadre de sa participation à l'ATI et qui ont fait 
l'objet d'une certification dans le document WT/Let/459 . 
 
_______________  
 
 
Si aucune objection n'est notifiée au Secrétariat dans un délai de trois mois à compter de la date 
du présent document, les rectifications et modifications de la Liste  LXIII – Égypte  seront 
considérées comme approuvées et seront officiellement certifiées .

- 2 - ATTACHMENT  1 – EXPLANATORY NOTE  
In the course of verifying the Harmonized System 20 12 (HS20 12) transposition file that was prepared by the Secretariat, Egypt  noted some errors 
and inconsistencies that resulted from the introduction of ITA commitments in its schedule and which were certified in the HS2007 transposition i n 
document WT/Let/ 1038.  Egypt proposes to rectify the relevant discrepancies as follows : 
(i) Correcting the binding status to unbound for tariff line 84219100 in accordance with Egypt's ITA schedule WT/Let/459  
Egypt's ITA concession  for tariff line 84219110 in HS2002 was n ot correctly reflected in Egypt 's HS07 transposition, which was certified in  
WT/Let/ 1038.  The duty -free concession was erroneously assigned to the entire HS07 subheading 8421 .91, while some of the products 
covered by that subheading are not covered by the  ITA.  In the HS2007 transposition , this commitment is assigned to new HS07 code 
848690 00 for Parts and accessories  and not to 842191 .  Therefore, t he following c orrection is required to reflect the original commitment as 
listed in Egypt's ITA schedule.

- 3 - (ii) Introducing breakouts for tariff line 85299090 to reflect the unbound part in accordance with Egypt's ITA schedule 
WT/Let/459  
Egypt's ITA concessions  for tariff line 85299030 in HS2002 was not correctly reflected in Egypt 's HS07 transposition, which was certified in  
WT/Let/ 1038.  In the HS2007 transposition , this concession was  partly ass igned to a new HS07 code 85177000 and  85299090 , and the latter 
should have include d an ex -out to provide for this unbound tariff line.  The follow ing correction is required to reflect the original commitment 
as listed in Egypt's ITA schedule.

- 4 - (iii) Introducing  breakouts for tariff line 90319000 to reflect the ITA parts under 90319010 and 90319020 and the unbound part 
under 90319090 in accordance with Egypt's ITA schedule WT/Let/459  
Egypt's ITA concessions  for 90319010 and 90319020 in HS2002 were not correctly r eflected in Egypt's HS07 transposition, which was 
certified in  WT/Let/ 1038. The duty-free concessions  were erroneously assigned to the entire subheading 9031 .90, which was  not affected by 
any transpositions. The HS07 tariff line  90319000 should therefore b e broken down into three tariff lines as follows:  90319010 and 90319020 
bound at 0%, 90319090  unbound. T he following c orrection is required to reflect the original commitments as listed in Egypt's ITA schedule.
