Schedule XXXIX – Malaysia 
 
Addendum  
 
  The following communication, dated 11 May 2005, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Malaysia.  
_______________ 
 
 I have the honour to inform you that Malays ia wishes to introduce corrections and additions 
to its notification relating to  the transposition of Schedule XXXIX-Malaysia into the HS96 
(Documents G/SECRET/HS96/31 and G/SECRET/HS96/31/Rev.1).  In this connection, the 
Permanent Mission of Malaysia to the WTO request s the Secretariat to circulate the following 
modifications:  i)   HS tariff item 320590000 should be delete d, as it does not exist in the 1996 version of 
Harmonized System. 
 
ii)  HS tariff code 391010190 contained a typographical error.  It should be replaced with the 
code 392010190.  (See also Appendix B). 
 iii)  The modifications resulting from corrections and additions to Part I, Section I-A (agricultural 
products) are reflected in Appendix A
1.   
 
iv)  The modifications resulting from corrections and additions to Part I, Section II (other 
products) are reflected in Appendix B1.   
  Malaysia is of the understanding that these cha nges adequately reflect the outcome of all its 
bilateral consultations and that no outstanding reservations remain with  regard to the transposition of 
its Schedule into the HS96.  Malaysia, therefor e, requests that the Secretariat introduce these 
modifications and proceed with the certification procedures.   
_______________ 
 
 If no objection is notified to the Secretariat with in 90 days from the date of this document, the 
modifications to Schedule XXXIX - Malaysia will be  deemed to be approve d and will be formally 
certified.
