and textile product production.

Committee for the Implementation of Textile

Agreements.

Commissioner of Customs

Department of Treasury, Washington, DC

20229

Dear Commissioner: In the letter to the

Commissioner of Customs, dated July 27,

1999 (64 FR 41395), the Chairman of CITA

directed the U.S. Customs Service to deny

entry to textiles and textile products

allegedly manufactured by certain listed

companies; Customs had informed CITA that

these companies were found to have been

illegally transshipping, closed, or unable to

produce records to verify production.

Based on information received since that

time, CITA has determined that Artistica,

Fabrica de Artigos de Vestuario; and Leon

Garment Factory Ltd., aka Westburg Lda.,

two of the listed companies, should not be

subject to that directive. Effective on January

18, 2000, Customs is directed to not apply

the directive to shipments of textiles and

textile products allegedly manufactured by

these companies. CITA expects that Customs

will conduct on-site verifications of these

companies’ textile and textile product

production.

CITA has determined that these actions fall

within the foreign affairs exception of the

rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).

Sincerely,

Troy H. Cribb,

Chairman, Committee for the Implementation

of Textile Agreements
