ANNEX 300-B

Textile and Apparel Goods

Section 1: Scope and Coverage

1. This Annex applies to the textile and apparel goods set out

in Appendix 1.1.

2. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and

the Arrangement Regarding International Trade in Textiles

(Multifiber Arrangement), as amended and extended, including any

amendment or extension after the date of entry into force of this

Agreement, or any other existing or future agreement applicable

to trade in textile or apparel goods, this Agreement shall

prevail to the extent of the inconsistency, unless the Parties

agree otherwise.

Section 2: Tariff Elimination

1. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement , each Party

shall progressively eliminate its customs duties on originating

goods as provided in its Schedule set out in Annex 302.2, in

accordance with Appendix 2.1.

2. (a) For purposes of this Annex, a good shall be considered

to be an originating good if the applicable change in

tariff classification has been satisfied in the

territory of one or more of the Parties, as provided by

Article 404.

(b) For purposes of determining which rate of duty and

staging category is applicable to an originating

textile or apparel good, a good shall be a good of the

Party in which the last substantial transformation

occurred, according to each importing Party's

regulations, practices or procedures or, in the event

of an agreement between the Parties pursuant to Annex

312(1), setting out rules applicable to textile and

apparel goods for determining whether a good is a good

of a Party ("Marking Rules"), according to such

agreement.

3. Each Party shall provide duty-free treatment for the

following textile and apparel goods of another Party, provided

such goods have been certified by the competent authority of the

exporting Party as one of the following:

(a) hand-loomed fabrics of a cottage industry;

(b) hand-made cottage industry goods made of such hand-

loomed fabrics; or

(c) traditional folklore handicraft goods

that have been identified and agreed by the Parties concerned for

duty-free treatment.

Section 3: Import and Export Restrictions and Consultation

Levels

1. Appendix 3.1 sets out certain circumstances and conditions

under which prohibitions, restrictions, or consultation levels in

effect upon the date of entry into force of this Agreement may be

maintained, notwithstanding Article 309.

2. Each Party shall eliminate a restriction or consultation

level on a textile or apparel good that otherwise would be

permitted under this Annex if the elimination of that restriction

is required as a result of integration of that good into the GATT

pursuant to commitments undertaken by that Party under any

successor agreement to the Multifiber Arrangement.

Section 4: Bilateral Emergency Actions (Tariff Actions)

1. During the transition period only, if, as a result of the

reduction or elimination of a duty provided for in this

Agreement, an originating textile or apparel good, or a good that

has been integrated into the GATT pursuant to a commitment

undertaken by a Party under any successor agreement to the

Multifiber Arrangement and entered under a tariff preference

level set out in Appendix 6.0, is being imported into the

territory of another Party in such increased quantities, in

absolute terms or relative to the domestic market for that good,

and under such conditions as to cause serious damage, or actual

threat thereof, to a domestic industry producing a like or

directly competitive good, the importing Party may, to the extent

necessary to remedy the damage or actual threat thereof:

(a) suspend the further reduction of any rate of duty

provided for under this Agreement on such good; or

(b) increase the rate of duty on such good to a level not

to exceed the lesser of:

(i) the most-favored-nation (MFN) applied rate of duty

in effect at the time the action is taken, or

(ii) the MFN applied rate of duty in effect on the day

immediately preceding the date of entry into force

of this Agreement.

2. In determining serious damage, or actual threat thereof, the

Party shall:

(a) examine the effect of increased imports on the

particular industry, as reflected in the following

factors, none of which is necessarily decisive:

changes in such relevant economic variables as output,

productivity, utilization of capacity, inventories,

market share, exports, wages, employment, domestic

prices, profits and investment; and

(b) not consider changes in technology or consumer

preference as factors supporting a determination of

serious damage or actual threat thereof.

3. The following conditions and limitations shall apply to any

emergency action taken pursuant to this Section:

(a) a Party shall deliver without delay to any Party that

may be affected written notice of intent to take such

action, and shall enter into consultations with that

Party upon request;

(b) no action may be maintained for a period exceeding

three years or, except with the consent of the Party

against whose good the action is taken, have effect

beyond the expiration of the transition period;

(c) no action may be taken by a Party against any

particular originating good more than once during the

transition period; and

(d) upon the termination of the action, the rate of duty

shall be the rate that, according to the Schedule for

that staged elimination of the tariff, would have been

in effect a year after the commencement of the action,

and commencing January 1 of the year following the

termination of the action, at the option of the Party

that has taken the action:

(i) the rate of duty shall conform to the schedule in

that Party's Schedule in Annex 302.2, or

(ii) the tariff shall be eliminated in equal annual

stages ending on the date set forth in that

Party's Schedule in Annex 302.2 for the

elimination of the tariff.

4. A Party taking an action under this Section shall provide,

to the Party against whose good the action is taken, mutually

agreed trade liberalizing compensation in the form of concessions

having substantially equivalent trade effects on the other Party,

or equivalent to the value of the additional duties expected to

result from the action. Such concessions shall be limited to the

textile and apparel goods listed in Appendix 1.1, unless the

Parties otherwise agree. If the concerned Parties are unable to

agree on compensation, the exporting Party may take tariff action

having trade effects substantially equivalent to the action taken

under this Section against any goods imported from the Party that

initiated the action pursuant to this Section. The Party taking

such tariff action shall only apply it for the minimum period

necessary to achieve such substantially equivalent effects.

Section 5: Bilateral Emergency Actions (Quantitative

Restrictions)

1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except

Appendix 5.2, a Party may take bilateral emergency action against

non-originating goods of another Party in accordance with this

Section and the provisions of Appendix 3.1.

2. If a Party considers that non-originating textile and

apparel goods, including goods entered under the tariff

preference levels (TPLs) set out in Appendix 6.0, are being

imported into its territory from a Party in such increased

quantities, in absolute terms or relative to the domestic market,

so as to cause serious damage or actual threat thereof, to a

domestic industry producing a like or directly competitive good

in the importing Party, that Party may request consultations with

another Party with a view to eliminating the serious damage or

actual threat thereof.

3. The Party requesting consultations shall include in its

request for consultations the reasons that it considers

demonstrate that such serious damage or actual threat to its

domestic industry is resulting from the imports of the other

Party, including the latest data concerning such damage or

threat.

4. In determining serious damage, or actual threat thereof, the

Party shall apply the provisions of paragraph 2, Section 4.

5. The concerned Parties shall commence consultations within 60

days following the request for consultations and shall endeavor

to agree on a mutually satisfactory level of restraint on exports

of the particular good within 90 days of the request, unless the

consulting Parties agree to extend this period. In reaching a

mutually satisfactory level of export restraint, the consulting

Parties shall:

(a) consider the situation in the market in the importing

Party;

(b) consider the history of trade in textile and apparel

goods between the consulting Parties, including the

previous levels of trade; and

(c) ensure that textile and apparel goods imported from the

territory of another Party are accorded equitable

treatment as compared with treatment granted to other

non-Party suppliers of like textile and apparel goods.

6. If the Parties do not agree on a mutually satisfactory level

during the 90-day consultation period, the Party requesting

consultations may impose annual quantitative restrictions on

imports of the good from the territory of the other Party for a

period no longer than that provided for in paragraph 9, provided

that:

(a) the measure shall not have effect beyond the transition

period; and

(b) the quantitative restriction shall not be less than the

sum of

(i) the quantity of the good imported into its

territory from the Party that would be affected by

the restriction, as reported in general import

statistics, during the first 12 of the most recent

14 months preceding the month in which the request

for consultations was made, and

(ii) an additional 20 percent of such quantity for

cotton, man-made fiber and other non-cotton

vegetable fiber good categories and six percent

for wool good categories.

7. The first term of any quantitative restriction imposed under

paragraph 6 shall commence on the day following the request for

consultations and terminate at the end of the calendar year in

which the quantitative restriction was imposed. Any quantitative

restriction that is imposed for a term less than 12 months and

the applicable flexibility provisions shall be prorated to

correspond to the period of time remaining in the calendar year

in which the restriction is imposed.

8. For each successive calendar year that the quantitative

restriction imposed under paragraph 6 remains in effect, the

Party imposing it shall:

(a) increase by 6 percent restrictions on cotton, man-made

fiber and non-cotton vegetable fiber textile and

apparel goods and by 2 percent restrictions on wool

textile and apparel goods;

(b) accelerate the growth rate for quantitative

restrictions on cotton, man-made fiber and non-cotton

vegetable fiber textile and apparel goods if required

by any successor agreement to the Multifiber

Arrangement; and

(c) apply the flexibility provisions set forth in Appendix

3.1, as appropriate.

9. Quantitative restrictions established pursuant to paragraph

6 before July 1 in any given calendar year may remain in place

for the initial prorated period in the first calendar year, plus

two additional calendar years. Such restrictions established on

or after July 1 in any given calendar year may remain in place

for the initial prorated period plus three additional calendar

years.

10. No Party may take an emergency action under this Section

with respect to any textile or apparel non-originating good that

is already subject to a quantitative restriction.

11. No party may adopt or maintain a quantitative restriction

under this Section on a textile or apparel good if that good has

been integrated into the GATT as a result of commitments

undertaken by that Party pursuant to any successor agreement to

the Multifiber Arrangement.

12. A Party may take a bilateral emergency action after the

expiration of the transition period to deal with cases of serious

damage to domestic industry arising from the operation of this

Agreement only with the consent of the Party against whose good

the action would be taken.

Section 6: Special Provisions

A Party shall treat the textile or apparel goods of another

Party set out in Appendix 6.0 in accordance with the provisions

therein.

Section 7: Review and Revision of Rules of Origin

1. (a) The Parties shall monitor the effects of the

application of the rule of origin contained in Annex

401.1 applicable to goods of subheading 6212.10. No

earlier than 15 months after the date of entry into

force of this Agreement, any Party may request

consultations to seek a mutually satisfactory solution

to any difficulties that it considers results from the

application of that rule of origin.

(b) If the Parties fail to reach a mutually satisfactory

solution through consultations within 90 days of a

request for consultations, any Party may request that

the rule applicable to subheading 6212.10 be changed to

the rule applicable to headings 62.06 through 62.11 of

the Harmonized System (HS) with respect to trade with

the requesting Party. Any such change shall be

effective no earlier than 180 days following the

request therefor. The Parties shall take measures to

ease any resulting administrative burden on producers.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed, at any time after the initial

consultations, and within the transition period of this

Agreement, any Party may make one request for

additional consultations under the same procedures

provided in paragraphs (a) and (b).

2. (a) At the request of any Party, the Parties shall consult

to consider whether specific goods should be made

subject to different rules of origin in order to

address issues of availability of supply of fibers,

yarns or fabrics within the free trade area.

(b) In the consultations, each Party shall consider all

data presented by a Party showing substantial

production in its territory for a good submitted for

review. A legitimate claim of substantial production

of the good in the territory of a Party shall be deemed

to exist if that Party can show that its domestic

producers are capable of supplying commercial

quantities of the good in a timely manner.

(c) The Parties shall make every effort to conclude

consultations within sixty days. Any agreement between

two or more Parties resulting from these consultations

shall be considered part of this Agreement. If

agreement is not reached, the Parties have recourse to

the provisions of paragraph 8(a) of Appendix 6.6.

(d) In this context, at the request of any Party, the

Parties shall consult to consider whether the rules of

origin applicable to the following provisions in Annex

401.1 should be amended in view of increasing

availability of supply of relevant yarns or fabrics

within the free trade area;

(i) Canadian tariff item 5407.60.10, United States

tariff item 5407.60.22 and Mexican tariff item

5407.60.02,

(ii) provisions (i) through (viii) of the rule for

subheadings 6205.20 through 6205.30,

(iii) note 2 to Chapter 61,

(iv) note 2 to Chapter 62, and

(v) Canadian tariff item 6303.92.a1, United States

tariff item 6303.92.h1 and Mexican tariff item

6303.92.x1.

3. The Parties shall review the rules of origin applicable to

textile and apparel goods within five years after the date of

entry into force of this Agreement to take into account the

effect of increasing global competition on textile and apparel

goods, and the implications of any integration into the GATT of

textile and apparel goods pursuant to any successor agreement to

the Multifiber Arrangement. The Parties shall give particular

consideration to operative rules in other economic association or

integration agreements and developments related to textile and

apparel production and trade between the Parties and worldwide.

Section 8: Labelling Requirements

To facilitate trade in textile and apparel goods between the

Parties through the harmonization of domestic labelling

requirements and the elimination of unnecessary obstacles to

trade resulting from differences in such requirements, the

Subcommittee on Labelling of Textile and Apparel Goods

established under Article 913(5) shall perform the functions set

out in Annex 913-D.

Section 9: Trade in Worn Clothing and Other Worn Articles

1. The Parties hereby establish a Committee on Trade in Worn

Clothing comprising representatives of each Party. The purpose of

the Committee shall be to assess the potential effects that may

result from the elimination of restrictions, maintained by a

Party prior to the date of entry into force of this Agreement, on

trade in worn clothing and other worn articles as defined in the

heading 63.09 of the HS. This Committee shall:

(a) include or consult with a broadly representative group

from the manufacturing and retailing sectors in each

Party; and

(b) act in a transparent manner and reach recommendations

by consensus of all representatives involved.

2. The Committee shall develop and pursue a work program to

consider the potential benefits and risks that may be derived

from the elimination of restrictions on trade between the Parties

in worn clothing and other worn articles, including the effects

on business and employment opportunities, and on the market for

textile and apparel goods in each Party.

3. Notwithstanding Article 309 and paragraph 2 of Section 3, a

Party may maintain restrictions in effect upon the date of entry

into force of this Agreement on the importation of worn clothing

and other worn articles classified under heading 63.09 of the HS,

unless the Parties agree otherwise on the basis of the

recommendations presented to the Commission by the Committee on

Trade in Worn Clothing.
