                                                                                                                     WT/Let/633 4This rectification relates to the description of HS tariff item 1904.90.10 on page 6 under Secti on I-A Tariffs of the authentic  text of the certification of modifications 
and rectifications to Schedule CLIII - the Se parate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu,  Kinmen and Matsu which was circulated in document WT/Let/578, 
a certified copy of which was furnished to all Members on 4 July 2007.  The description of HS tariff item 1904.90.10, which should read "Cereals (other  than maize 
(corn)) in grain form, or in the form of flakes or other worked  grains (except flour and meal),  precooked or otherwise prepared , not elsewhere specified or 
included, containing not less than 30% of rice", inadvertently om itted the last four words. Therefore, the missing words ("than  30% of rice") should be added at the 
end of the relevant description in the certification.  This rectification does not alter the concessions and commitments of the  Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, 
Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu under Schedule CLIII.
