COMMITTEE FOR THE 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TEXTILE 

AGREEMENTS 

Termination of Textile Visa 

Requirement for Women’s and Girls’ 

Wool Coats Manufactured in the 

Russian Federation Effective July 1, 

2009 

June 16, 2009. 

AGENCY: Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements 

(CITA). 

ACTION: Issuing a directive to the 

Commissioner, U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection, terminating the 

textile visa arrangement with Russia for 

Category 435, women’s and girls’ wool 

coats. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Maria D’Andrea, Office of Textiles and 

Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

(202) 482-4058. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority: Executive Order 11651 of March 

3, 1972, as amended; Section 204 of the 

Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7 

U.S.C. 1854). 

In a notice and letter published in the 

Federal Register on January 31, 1997 

(see 62 FR 4729), the United States 

established visa requirements for 

women’s and girls’ wool coats in 

Category 435 manufactured in the 

Russian Federation and exported from 

Russia on and after March 1, 1997. 

Because textile and apparel imports into 

the United States of America from the 

Russian Federation are no longer subject 

to quota restrictions, there is no need to 

maintain the visa requirements. 

Accordingly, pursuant to the Visa 

Arrangement between the Governments 

of the United States of America and the 

Russian Federation that was signed on 

October 22, 1996 and December 31, 

1996, CITA has notified the Russian 

Federation that it is terminating visa 

requirements for women’s and girls’ 

wool coats in Category 435. 

In the letter below, CITA is directing 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 

terminate the visa requirement for 

women’s and girls’ wool coats in 

Category 435 exported from Russia 

effective July 1, 2009.

Acting Chairman, Committee for the 

Implementation of Textile Agreements.
