Please be advised of the following additions/corrections to CSMS 13-000564 , 11/19/2013.
1. The Korea Free Trade Agreement (UKFTA) was inadvertently omitted from the list of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) that employ a tariff-shift methodology. These FTAs are: Korea FTA, NAFTA, Chile FTA, Singapore FTA, Australia FTA, CAFTA-DR, Peru TPA, Colombia TPA, and Panama TPA.
Additionally, the Moroccan FTA, Bahrain FTA and Oman FTA employ a tariff-shift methodology for textile goods and a few other goods specified in HTSUS General Note 27(h), 30(h)and 31(h), respectively.
2. Also inadvertently omitted from CSMS 13-000564 was a statement that the Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA), like the NAFTA, provides for Preference Criteria “A,” “B,” and “C”. As such, in accordance with in 19 CFR 10.411(f), a good that originates under the terms of the Chile FTA by means of a product specific rule of origin (a.k.a. tariff shift rule) may indicate either “Criterion B” or the more detailed Product Specific Rule such as HTSUS General Note 26(n) xx.xx (where “xx.xx” refers to the discrete product specific rule pertaining to the good).
