As we already stated earlier this year, after January 1, 2005,
there are no longer visa/quota restrictions on textile goods
shipped from WTO member countries.
In the FR the Committee for the implementation of Textile Agreements, makes it clear that "a properly completed visa, electronic visa (ELVIS) transmission, Guaranteed Access Level (GAL) certification, or exempt certification will be required for all shipments exported in 2004, regardless of the date of entry into the United States. If a textile shipment leaves the port of discharge on December 31, 2004 it is still subject to quota restraints and visa requirements although it does not enter into the territory of the United States until 2005. Bear in mind too that it is only WTO member countries which will be exempt from the quota/visa requirements. For goods that are the product of countries that are not members of the WTO, quota/visa requirements will remain in effect. The WTO keeps a listing of member countries on their web site at http://www.wto.org. If you have any questions on this matter, please don't hesitate to contact CORTEZ. |
