Re:  Notification by the Czech Republic of the Stage 3 of Integration – Addendum
Dear Mr. Chairman,
In response to your letter dated 1 February 2001 requesting certain clarifications with respect
to the notification by the Czech Republic of its third stage of integration, I have the honour to submit
the following explanations.
With regard to the HS lines ex 4202.22, ex 4202.32 and ex 4202.92, I am instructed to
reconfirm that the 1993 imports counted in respect of these ex-HS lines correspond precisely to the
product description as contained in the ATC Annex.   These imports fall under 8-digit Combined
Nomenclature CN codes 4202.22.90, 4202.32.90, 4202.32.91 and 4202.32.98.  The same goes for the
HS item ex 9612.10 imports of which fall under 8-digit CN code 9612.10.10.
As to other six ex-HS lines mentioned by your letter, namely ex 3921.12, ex 3921.13,
ex 3921.90, ex 4202.12, ex 7019.10 and ex 7019.20, I am informed that it would be difficult to
determine the exact import volumes of these products as defined in the ATC, the reason being the
absence of relevant statistical data.  In the light of this, my authorities decided to withdraw these
items, which account for 3.615 per cent of the 1993 imports, from the previously submitted
notification and replace them by the following two lines in the first group ("Tops and Yarns"), whichaccount for 3.977 per cent of total volume of imports:
HS No. Product Description Tonnes %
5402.41 Yarn of nylon or other polyamides fil, single untwisted,
nes, not put up4,323.62 3.295
5403.32 Yarn of viscose rayon filaments, single, >120 turns per
m, nes, not put up894.51 0.682
New sub-total for "Tops and Yarns" should read: 13,595.81 10.362
New sub-total for "Fabrics" should read: 2,482.55 1.893New sub-total for "Made-up Textiles" should read: 2,773.48 2.112
New "Total Integrated" should read: 24,127.55 18.389G/TMB/N/374/Add.1

Dear Mr. Chairman, I am confident that the Textiles Monitoring Body will find these
clarifications and changes satisfactory.
Yours sincerely,
