  RECTIFICATIONS AND MODI FICATIONS OF SCHEDULES 
SCHEDULE XIV - NORWAY 
 
The following communication, dated 9 June 2015, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Norway. 
_______________ 
 
 Pursuant to the 1980 Procedures for Modification and Rectification of Schedules of Tariff Concessions
1, Norway hereby communicates draft changes to Schedule XIV - Norway to correct 
errors which were inadvertently introduced  through the following legal instruments: 
1) WT/Let/756, which reflects Norway's HS2002 changes pursuant to the procedures in WT/L/605; 2) WT/Let/466, which reflects Norway's HS1996 changes pursuant to the procedures in L/6905; 
and 3) Norway's Uruguay Round schedule.   
 These errors were identified during the introduc tion of Norway's HS 2007 changes into its schedule 
of concessions, and the corrections are necessary to  preserve the scope of Norway's concessions.  
A detailed explanation of the proposed correct ions is contained in Annex 1, and the draft 
concessions that Norway proposes to introduce are contained in Annex 2
2. The draft modifications 
do not alter the original scope of Norway's concessions under Schedule XIV.  
  
  
_______________ 
 
If no objection is notified to the Secretariat within three months from the date of this document, the rectifications and modifications to Schedule XI V - Norway will be deemed to be approved and 
will be formally certified.

  ANNEX 1 
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED CORRECTIONS 
(i) Correction of SSG symbol for chan ges certified in document WT/Let/756  
 
During the HS2002 transposition exercise, Norway inadvertently omitted the SSG symbol for three 
tariff lines (0210920, 1209292 and 2308000) and incorrectly added the symbol for another one (2306209).  Therefore, the SSG symbol should be added to the three former and deleted from the 
latter. 
 (ii) Correction of UR Schedule and document WT/Let/466 
 
The Uruguay Round Schedule and the HS1996 transposition, erroneously reflected "oleic acid and 
fatty acids" subheading 2915.90.  However, both industry and laboratories have confirmed that 
there are no oleic acid and fatty acids that could be classified in HS 2915.90.  For this reason, tariff 
line 2915901 should be deleted from that subheading
