SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to section 201 of the United States—
Chile Free Trade Agreement
Implementation Act (Pub. L. 108–77;
117 Stat. 909, 913; 19 USC 3805 note),
Presidential Proclamation No. 7746 of
December 30, 2003 (68 FR 75789),

the HTS to reflect the tariff and rules of
origin treatment provided for in the

Pursuant to U.S. Note 12(a) to

by volume, with all sources for goods in
Harmonized System (HS) subheadings
1701.11, 1701.12, 1701.91, 1701.99,
1702.20, 1702.30, 1702.40, 1702.60,

customs authority, the Servicio

SUMMARY: The United States Trade
Representative (‘‘the USTR’’) is
modifying the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS) as
set forth in the Annex to this notice,
pursuant to authority granted to the
President in section 604 of the Trade
Act of 1974 (‘‘Trade Act’’) and delegated
to the USTR in Presidential
Proclamation No. 6969 of January 27,
1997 (62 FR 4415). These modifications
will correct errors in the tariff rates that
are being applied to a small number of
products that are originating goods of
Chile under the United States—Chile
Free Trade Agreement. The
modifications will ensure that the
intended tariff treatment is accorded to
the products at issue.
ADDRESSES: Office of the United States
Trade Representative, 600 17th Street,

Explanation of Technical Corrections
This notice makes technical
corrections to the HTS to remedy errors
included in Presidential Proclamation
No. 7746 of December 30, 2003 (68 FR
75789) implementing the United
States—(Chile Free Trade Agreement
(FTA). The corrections pertain to the
tariff rates that are being applied to a
small number of originating goods of
Chile under the FTA. The modifications
will ensure that the intended tariff
treatment is accorded to the products at
issue.
Paragraph 2 of the General Notes of
the United States to Annex 3.3 of the
FTA states that the base rates of duty set
forth in the U.S. Schedule to the FTA
reflect the lower of the HTSUS Column
1 General rates of duty in effect January
1, 2002 or the rate scheduled for January
1, 2004 under existing WTO dutyelimination commitments. For a small
number of originating goods of Chile,
the January 1, 2002 rates were set forth
in the schedule, although the rates
scheduled for January 1, 2004 were
lower. As a consequence of this error,
the tariff rates being applied to these
products are higher than the intended
rates under the FTA. The Annex to this
