CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL TRADE TRIBUNAL

EXPIRY OF TEXTILE TARIFF RELIEF ORDER AND REMISSION ORDER

Ring-spun Yarns

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) hereby gives notice that the tariff relief order (Order in Council P.C. 1996-1088) and the Order Respecting the Remission of Customs Duties on Certain Knitting Yarns (the Knitting Yarns Remission Order, 1996) [Order in Council P.C. 1996-1089], both made on July 10, 1996, to implement the Tribunal's recommendations to the Minister of Finance in Request Nos. TR-94-002 and TR-94-002A (Kute-Knit Mfg. Inc.) are scheduled to expire (Expiry No. TE-98-002) on June 30, 1999.

The tariff relief order created two codes in Schedule II to the Customs Tariff and concerns the following, which are for use in the manufacture of knitted fabrics or knitted garments :

— ring-spun yarns (other than mock twist), single, unbleached or bleached, solely of cotton or solely of cotton and polyester staple fibres, containing not more than 80 percent by weight of polyester staple fibres, measuring 190 decitex or less, of subheading No. 5205.14, 5205.15, 5205.24, 5205.26, 5205.27, 5205.28, 5206.14, 5206.15, 5206.24, 5206.25 or 5509.53 (Code 4117); and

— ring-spun yarns, two-ply, unbleached or bleached, solely of cotton, measuring less than 125 decitex per single yarn, of subheading No. 5205.35, 5205.46, 5205.47 or 5205.48 (Code 4118).

The Knitting Yarns Remission Order, 1996 concerns the following, which are for use in the manufacture of knitted children's wear:

— combed, ring-spun yarns, of 50 percent polyester and 50 percent cotton, measuring 492 decitex, 328 decitex and 246 decitex (12s, 18s and 24s cotton count);

— combed, ring-spun yarns, of 52 percent polyester and 48 percent cotton, measuring 492 decitex, 328 decitex and 246 decitex (12s, 18s and 24s cotton count); or

— combed, ring-spun yarns, of 55 percent polyester and 45 percent cotton, measuring 492 decitex, 328 decitex and 246 decitex (12s, 18s and 24s cotton count).

Under the Minister of Finance's standing reference, the duty relief provided by Codes 4117 and 4118 (which were superseded in 1998 by tariff item Nos. 5205.14.20, 5205.15.20, 5205.24.20, 5205.26.20, 5205.27.20, 5205.28.20, 5206.14.10, 5206.15.10, 5206.24.10, 5206.25.10, 5509.53.10, 5205.35.20, 5205.46.20, 5205.47.20 and 5205.48.20) and the remission of duties provided by the Knitting Yarns Remission Order, 1996 will cease unless the Tribunal issues a recommendation that tariff relief is still warranted and a tariff relief order or a remission order, or both, is made by the government.

Statistics Canada data show that total imports, in 1997, of the yarns covered by Codes 4117 and 4118 amounted to 11 871 381 kg, valued at $56,142,721. Total imports of those same yarns in the first seven months of 1998 amounted to 7 624 266 kg, valued at $34,520,269.

Parties requesting or opposing the continuation of tariff relief, pursuant to subparagraph 19(5) of the Textile Reference Guidelines, should file the original and 15 copies of written public submissions containing relevant information, opinions and arguments with the Secretary of the Tribunal not later than December 4, 1998.

If, after reviewing the responses from all parties, there is a request for the continuation of tariff relief, but no opposition, the Tribunal may dispense with the need for a full review and recommend continuation. Alternatively, if there is no request for the continuation of tariff relief, then the Tribunal may dispense with the need for a full review and recommend termination. However, if the Tribunal decides that a full review is warranted, it will issue a notice of review with all relevant information regarding the proceeding. The Tribunal will publish the notice in the Canada Gazette and send it to all parties known to the Tribunal as having an interest in the review, who will then have an opportunity to participate in the review.

Written submissions, correspondence or requests for information regarding this notice should be addressed to: The Secretary, Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Standard Life Centre, 15th Floor, 333 Laurier Avenue W, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G7, (613) 993-3595 (Telephone), (613) 990-2439 (Facsimile).

Written or oral communications to the Tribunal may be made in English or in French.
