Sir,
With reference toyournoteTMB/100, asking usforfurther details concerning percentages
andtheclassification thereof, Iwishtoinform youthatuntilFebruary 1993 ourforeign trade was
classified using theCentral American Tariff Nomenclature (NAUCA). Forthepurposes offulfilling
thecommitment ofintegrating textiles intotheWTO framework, thissystem hadtobeconverted to
thecorresponding classification oftheCentral American Tariff System (SAC), which isthesame as
theclassification usedworldwide.
Asfortheintegration ofItem42.02.92.00, wehavereviewed ouroriginals andfound that
thiswasaninvoluntary errorwhich wehavenowcorrected. Thecorrect itemis52.07.90.00 -OTHER
COTTON YARN PUT UPFOR RETAIL SALE .Thevolume remains thesame, i.e.6,923 kilos.
Alltheremainder, concerning boththefirstandthesecond integration oftextiles, remains entirely
unchanged.
Accept, Sir,theassurances ofmyhighest consideration.
