REPLY TO COMMUNICATION TMB/100 OF 31 JANUARY 2001
(Ref:  Notification OMC/047 of Peru, dated 29 December 2000)1
The (*) which appears at the end of some descriptions means that these tariff items were
national openings in the NABANDINA nomenclature.
With regard to the repetition of certain tariff lines in the list for integration in stage 3, this is
the result of the correlation between the NABANDINA (Brussels nomenclature) and the NANDINA
(Harmonized System) nomenclatures, which does not mean that they cannot be included in the
calculation of the percentage of trade integrated in this stage.
Concerning the tariff lines which appear to have been integrated in previous stages, they do
not refer to the same product;  indeed, the description corresponds to the NABANDINA
nomenclature, which is what determines the product to be integrated, being the nomenclature used by
Peru in the base year (1990).
Lastly, the Ministry of Industry, Tourism, Integration and International Trade Negotiations
confirms that the total share of the list of products amounts to 18 per cent of textile imports to Peru in
1990, which corresponds to the requirements of Article 2.8(b) of the Agreement on Textiles and
Clothing.
