Understanding (MOU) dated March 3, 1995

between the Governments of the United

with the provisions of Executive Order 11651

of March 3, 1972, as amended, you are

directed to prohibit, effective on March 23,

Imports charged to these category limits,

except Category 443, for the period January

1, 1994 through December 31, 1994 shall be

charged against those levels of restraint to the

extent of any unfilled balances. In the event

the limits established for that period have

been exhausted by previous entries, such

goods shall be subject to the levels set forth

in this directive.

Should Guatemala become a member of the

For visa purposes, you are directed,

the directive dated January 24, 1990 to

require a visa for textile products in Category

and exported from Guatemala on and after

March 23, 1995. Goods in Category 443

which are exported during the period March

23, 1995 through April 22, 1995 shall not be

denied entry for the lack of a visa. Goods in

Category 443 which are exported after April

22, 1995 must be accompanied by an

appropriate export visa.

Beginning on March 23, 1995, the U.S.

Customs Service is directed to start signing

shipments of U.S. formed and cut parts in

Category 443 that are destined for Guatemala

and re-exported to the United States on and

after March 23, 1995.

Additionally, pursuant to the

United States and Guatemala; and the terms

of the Special Access Program, as set forth in

(July 10, 1987) and 54 FR 50425 (December

guaranteed access levels are being

established for properly certified textile

products assembled in Guatemala from fabric

formed and cut in the United States in the

following categories which are re-exported to

the United States from Guatemala during the

provisions of the certification requirements

established in the directive of January 24,

1990, as amended, shall be denied entry

unless the Government of Guatemala

authorizes the entry and any charges to the

which is declared for entry under the Special

be denied entry into the United States.

The Committee for the Implementation of
