Dear Sir,
I am writing to you in connection with fa x No. 018/98/OMC M-11, which refers to the
textiles notification, second stage of integration.
I should like to inform you that, following consultation with tariff nomenclature experts from
the General Secretariat of Central American Economic Integration (SIECA) and representatives of the
domestic private sector relating to clothing and textiles, in the corresponding list tariff
heading 59.08.02.00 is replaced by tariff heading 51.01.02.01 and the relevant list is therefore
amended so that the total of products in this sector integrated by Guatemala under the GATT 1994,
second stage, amounts to 4,361,485 kg., corresponding to 17.5 per cent.
Attached hereto is the duly modified second stage list.
Thanking you for your help in this connection, I would request you to transmit this
communication to the TMB and inform us when the Body considers that Guatemala has met its
commitment in the second stage of integration.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) Marco Antonio Ventura

aTotal imports of textiles and clothing for 1990 amounted to 24,918,940 kilos.  Of this total, 4,361,485 kilos will be integrate d
into GATT 1994.  This is equivalent to 17.5 per cent.
bColumns 1 and 2 show NAUCA II (Central American Uniform Tariff Classification) coding and descriptions, in use in
Guatemala in 1990.  Columns 4 and 5 show the Harmonized System (HS) coding and descriptions derived from the transposition of t he
NAUCA II into the HS.
cThese NS tariff lines also appear in the list of products integrated in the first stage, but it should be noted that these rela te to
different lines in the CCCN (NAUCA II), namely 61.01.00.00 and 61.04.00.00, which refer to men's and boys' outer garments, and women's
girls' and infants' undergarments respectively.  This is because of the different structure of the CCCN and the HS.
