TECRO/AIT Carnet Issuing and

Guaranteeing Association

AGENCY: Customs Service, Department

of the Treasury.

ACTION: General Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public

that Customs has selected the United

States Council for International

Business as the organization which will

issue and guarantee TECRO/AIT

carnets. These carnets are being issued

pursuant to the TECRO/AIT Carnet

Agreement which has been entered into

between the Taipei Economic and

Cultural Representative in the United

States (TECRO) and the American

Institute in Taiwan (AIT) for the

temporary admission of goods,
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 18 /Wednesday, January 28, 1998 / Notices 4345

commercial samples and professional

equipment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

William Scopa, Office of Field

Operations 202–927–3112.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

This notice advises the public that the

United States Council for International

Business has been selected as the

issuing and guaranteeing organization

for a new carnet, known as the ‘‘TECRO/

AIT Carnet’’. This carnet is being offered

as a result of the signing of a bilateral

carnet agreement between the Taipei

Economic and Cultural Representative

in the United States (TECRO) and the

American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) for

the temporary admission of goods,

commercial samples and professional

equipment. In a final rule also

published in this issue of the Federal

Register, Customs is amending its

regulations which apply to carnets to

reflect this new agreement.

A carnet is an international customs

document, backed by an internationally

valid guarantee, which may be used for

the temporary admission of

merchandise. The carnet is used in

place of the usual national customs

documentation and guarantees the

payment of duties (including taxes)

which may become due if the

requirements of the carnet are not

satisfied.

Taiwan is currently ineligible to

accede to the ATA Carnet Convention,

under which carnets facilitate trade

among more than fifty contracting

parties. Thus, Taiwan has sought access

to the carnet facility through the

recently concluded TECRO/AIT Carnet

Agreement. This agreement was

negotiated pursuant to the authority

contained in 22 U.S.C. 3305.

On November 4, 1996, a Notice was

published in the Federal Register (61

FR 56740) in which the Customs Service

informed the public of the TECRO/AIT

carnet and solicited applications for an

organization to issue and guarantee the

new carnet.

The issuing association must be

approved by the Commissioner of

Customs. The guaranteeing association

is jointly and severally liable with the

carnet holder for the payment of the

sums. The guaranteeing association also

must be approved by the Commissioner

of Customs.

Pursuant to § 114.11, Customs

Regulations (19 CFR 114.11), an

association, in order to be approved by

Customs, must provide in writing that it

will undertake to perform the functions

and fulfill the obligations specified in

the Agreement to which the United

States accedes.

Based upon the information received

from the United States Council for

International Business, the

Commissioner of Customs has

determined that the United States

Council for International Business

satisfies the conditions to be designated

an issuing and guaranteeing

organization for the TECRO/AIT Carnet.

Dated: July 15, 1997.

Editorial note: This document was

received by the Office of the Federal Register

on January 22, 1998.

George J. Weise,

Commissioner of Customs.
