Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements

May 8, 2001.

Commissioner of Customs,
Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20229.

    Dear Commissioner: This directive amends, but does not cancel, 
the directive issued to you on March 5, 1984, as amended, by the 
Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements. 
That directive directed you to prohibit entry of certain textile 
products, produced or manufactured in Hungary for which the 
Government of the Republic of Hungary has not issued an appropriate 
export visa.
    Beginning on June 1, 2001, you are directed to amend further the 
directive dated March 5, 1984 to provide for the use of a new export 
visa stamp issued by the Government of the Republic of Hungary to 
accompany shipments of textile products, produced or manufactured in 
Hungary and exported from Hungary on or after June 1, 2001. This new 
visa stamp reflects the name change of ``Ministry of Economic 
Affairs'' to ``LICENSING AND ADMINISTRATION OFFICE OF THE MINISTRY 
OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS.''
    Textile products exported from Hungary during the period June 1, 
2001 through June 30, 2001 may be accompanied by either the old or 
new export visa stamp. Products exported from Hungary on or after 
July 1, 2001 must be accompanied by the new export visa stamp.
    A facsimile of the new visa stamp is enclosed with this letter.
    Shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse according to this 
directive which are not accompanied by an appropriate export visa 
shall be denied entry and a new visa must be obtained.
    The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has 
determined that this action falls within the foreign affairs 
exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1).

    Sincerely,

J. Hayden Boyd,
Acting Chairman, Committee for the Implementation of Textile 
Agreements.
