REGULATIONS ON EXPORT OF RESTRAINED TEXTILES TO U.S.
New regulations covering the export of restrained cotton, man-made
fibre and wool textiles to the United States will come into force from
December 1.
From that date, these exports must be covered by Certificates of
Hong Kong Origin issued by the Commerce and Industry Department.
The certificates will bear a "textile export visa" signéd by
.
an officer authorised by the department to issue such visas,
The Director of Commerce and Industry said today that the United
States Customs will soon require for entry purposes the production of •
visaed certificates of origin by American importers in respect of all
restrained textiles from Hong Kong.
The responsibility for transmission of the visaed certificates to the
U.S. importer lies with the local exporters or manufacturers concerned, he said.
Exemptions from the certificate of origin will be exports of
unrestrained textiles to the United States; bona, fide samples; or postal
packets not exceeding $1,000 f.o.b., being gifts, personal effects or
items not intended for sale.
