A fin de corregir esos errores, Egipto ha preparado, con la asistencia de la Secretaría de la OMC, la 
presente rectificación que tiene por objeto lo siguiente:  
 
i) cambiar la situación en lo que respe cta a la  consolidación de la línea 
arancelaria  84219100  a "Unbound" ( no consolidado ), de conformidad con la Lista de 
Egipto en el marco del ATI, certificada en el documento WT/Let/459;  
ii) desglosar la línea arancelaria 85299090 para reflejar la parte no consolidada , de 
conformidad con la Lista de Egipto en el marco del ATI, certificada en el 
documento  WT/Let/459;  
iii) desglosar  la línea arancelaria 90319000 para reflejar las partes comprendidas en 
el ATI bajo las  líneas 90319010 y 90319020 , y la part e no consolidada , bajo la  
línea 90319090 , de conformidad con la Lista de Egipto en el marco del ATI, certificada 
en el documento WT/Let/459.  
En el apéndice 1 figuran notas explicativas detalladas y en el apéndice 2 , el proyecto que contiene  
las rectificaciones propuestas . El cambio propuesto no altera el alcance de las concesiones 
otorgadas  por Egipto en virtud de su participaci ón en el ATI  y certificadas en el 
documento  WT/Let/459.  
 
_______________  
Si en el plazo de tres meses contados a partir de la fecha del presente documento no se notifica a 
la Secretaría ninguna objeción, las rectificaciones y modificaciones de la Lista LXIII - Egipto se 
considerarán aprobadas y serán oficialmente certificadas .

- 2 - ATTACHMENT  1 – EXPLANATORY NOTE  
In the course of verifying the Harmonized System 2012 (HS2012) 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 certif ied in the HS2007 transposition in 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 not correctly reflected in Egypt's HS07 transposition, which wa s 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 84869000 for Parts and acc essories and not to 
842191 .  Therefore, the following correction is required to reflec t 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 w as certified in 
WT/Let/1038.  In the HS2007 transposition, this concession was partly assigned to a new HS07 code 85177000 and 8529 9090, and the latter should 
have included an ex -out to provide for this unbound tariff line. The following correction is required to reflect the original commitment as liste d 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 reflected 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 be broken down into three tariff lines as follows: 90319010 and 90319020 bound at 0%, 90319090  
unbound. The following correction is required to reflect the original commitments as listed in Egypt's ITA schedule.
