ATTACHMENT 2 – EXPLANATORY NOTE  
 
(i) Correcting errors in th e UR schedule of Israel 
 In the preparation of the full list of commitments in HS1996 no menclature Israel has identified the following 19 cases which re quire a rectification to 
its UR Schedule:  
 
1. 1302.11 - There is inconsistent information in the UR Schedule with  a duty at both the subheading level and the tariff line lev el. The more 
specific tariff line duty level has been retained and the prop osed rectification therefore reflects a duty of 17% and a SSG.

(ii) Replacing the certified docume nt WT/Let/553 of 24 October 1996  
 
The document on the transposition of the Pre-UR concessions of Is rael into the Harmonized System nomenclature includes a large number of errors 
and inconsistencies and would require a major revision. As a result, the Secretariat recommends replacing entirely this documen t with the present 
rectification.  The commitments included in WT/Let/553 are pres ented in the HS92 nomenclature.  The three cases below illustrat e the kind of 
corrections which have been undertaken:  
 1.  Heading 0303 - Fish, frozen, excluding fish f illets and other fish meat of heading No. 0304. 
 
In WT/Let/553 there is only one tariff line 0303.21.00 " Trout (Salmo trutta, Salmo gairdneri, salmo clarki, Salmo aguabonita, Salmo gilae):" bound 
at "IL 0.40/KG" under heading 0303.  In the HS92 nomenclature th e subheadings under 0303 are classified according to the type o f fish.  The 
corresponding code for HS heading 0303 in CCCN nomenclature is ex 03.01.B.  In the Pre-UR docume nt CCS2/74 the commitment is mad e for all 
chilled or frozen fillets and other (not including torik) with no distinction for the type of fish.  The commitment of "IL 0.40 /KG" would need to be 
added for all tariff lines under heading 0303 in WT/Let/553 in orde r to correctly reflect the original commitment made by Israe l.

The corresponding codes for HS he ading 2836 in CCCN nomenclature are 28.42.A (for  2836.20) and 28.42.B (f or all other subheadin gs).  In the Pre-

0% would need to be added for the other subheadings under heading 2836 in WT/Let/553 in order to correctly reflect the original  commitment made

- 494 - (iii) Replacing the certified docu ment WT/Let/554 of 31 August 2006 
 
The document on the introduction of HS96 ch anges into the schedules of concessions of Israel includes many inconsistencies when  compared to the 
original legal instruments such as the UR Schedule.  As a result, the Secretariat recommends to replace entirely this document with the present 
Rectification.  The three cases below illustrate the ki nd of corrections undertaken by the Secretariat:  
 
1.  Heading 0801 - Coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts,  fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled. 
 In WT/Let/554 there are six tariff lines under this heading with  a bound rate of 15%.  The corresponding codes in the HS92 nome nclature are 
0801.10.00, 0801.20.00 and 0801.30.00.  In the UR Schedule these ta riff lines present a bound duty of 23%.  The commitment of 2 3% would need 
to be reflected for all tariff lines under heading 0801 in WT/Let /554 in order to correctly reflect the original commitment mad e by Israel.

2.  Heading 3302 - Mixtures of odoriferous substances and mixtures  (including alcoholic solutions) with a basis of one or more of these substances, of 
a kind used as raw materials in industry; other preparations ba sed on odoriferous substances, of a kind used for the manufactur e of beverages. 
 
In WT/Let/554 there is one subheading 3302.10.00 "Of a kind used in  the food or drink industries" under this heading with multi ple product 
descriptions and bound duties.  The corresponding codes for subh eading 3302.10.00 in the HS92 nomenclature are ex2106.90, ex220 8.10 and 
3302.10.  In the UR Schedule the parts of 2106.90 and 2208.10 which should be transferred to 3302 refer to the manufacture of b everages and are 
bound at 16% and 148% respectively.  Also according to the UR Schedule HS92 subheading 3302.10 is unbound.  As a result, the he ading 3302 
would need to be revised in WT/Let/554 to remove the product de scriptions and duties which do not refer to the manufacture of b everages in order to 
correctly reflect the original commitment made by Israel.
