IMPORT RESTRAINTS/
REQUIREMENTS : Subject to a visa requirement based upon
international textile trade agreements. The
designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota
requirements applicable to the subject
merchandise may be affected. Since part
categories are the result of international
bilateral agreements which are subject to
frequent renegotiations and changes, to obtain
the most current information avail-
able, we suggest that you check, close to the
time of shipment, the Status Report On Current
Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is
available for inspection at your local Customs
office.
OTHER : The samples will be returned as requested.
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
