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
