As a product of Canada, the blanket

currently subject to a visa requirement or
quota restraints based upon international
textile trade agreements. The designated
textile and apparel category may be

part categories are the result of
international bilateral agreements which
are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, to obtain the most current
information available, 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.
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
