SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Chile: Pursuant to section 201 of the
United States—Chile Free Trade
Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L.
108–77; 19 U.S.C. 3805 note),
Presidential Proclamation No. 7746 of
December 30, 2003 (68 FR 75789)
implemented the Chile FTA on behalf of
the United States and modified the HTS
to reflect the tariff treatment provided
for in the Chile FTA.
U.S. Note 12(a) to subchapter XI of
HTS chapter 99 provides that USTR is
required to publish annually in the
Federal Register a determination of the
amount of Chile’s trade surplus, 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,
1702.90, 1806.10, 2101.12, 2101.20, and
2106.90, except that Chile’s imports of
U.S. goods classified under HS
subheadings 1702.40 and 1702.60 that
qualify for preferential tariff treatment
under the Chile FTA are not included in
the calculation of Chile’s trade surplus.
U.S. Note 12(b) to subchapter XI of
HTS chapter 99 provides duty-free
treatment for certain sugar and syrup
goods and sugar-containing products of
Chile entered under subheading
9911.17.05 in an amount equal to the
lesser of Chile’s trade surplus or the
specific quantity set out in that note for
that calendar year.
U.S. Note 12(c) to subchapter XI of
HTS chapter 99 provides preferential
tariff treatment for certain sugar and
syrup goods and sugar-containing
products of Chile entered under
subheading 9911.17.10 through
9911.17.85 in an amount equal to the
amount by which Chile’s trade surplus
exceeds the specific quantity set out in
that note for that calendar year.
During calendar year (CY) 2009, the
most recent year for which data is
available, Chile’s imports of sugar and
syrup goods and sugar-containing

products described above exceeded its
exports of those goods by 584,029
metric tons according to data published
by its customs authority, the Banco
Central de Chile. Based on this data,
USTR determines that Chile’s trade
surplus is negative. Therefore, in
accordance with U.S. Note 12(b) and
U.S. Note 12(c) to subchapter XI of HTS
chapter 99, goods of Chile are not
eligible to enter the United States dutyfree under subheading 9911.17.05 or at
preferential tariff rates under
subheading 9911.17.10 through
9911.17.85 in CY2011.
Morocco: Pursuant to section 201 of
the United States—Morocco Free Trade

Presidential Proclamation No. 7971 of
December 22, 2005 (70 FR 76651)
implemented the Morocco FTA on
behalf of the United States and modified
the HTS to reflect the tariff treatment
provided for in the Morocco FTA.
U.S. Note 12(a) to subchapter XII of
HTS chapter 99 provides that USTR is
required to publish annually in the
Federal Register a determination of the
amount of Morocco’s trade surplus, by
volume, with all sources for goods in HS
subheadings 1701.11, 1701.12, 1701.91,
1701.99, 1702.40, and 1702.60, except
that Morocco’s imports of U.S. goods
classified under HS subheadings
1702.40 and 1702.60 that qualify for
preferential tariff treatment under the
Morocco FTA are not included in the
calculation of Morocco’s trade surplus.
U.S. Note 12(b) to subchapter XII of
HTS chapter 99 provides duty-free
treatment for certain sugar and syrup
goods and sugar-containing products of
Morocco entered under subheading
9912.17.05 in an amount equal to the
lesser of Morocco’s trade surplus or the
specific quantity set out in that note for
that calendar year.
U.S. Note 12(c) to subchapter XII of
HTS chapter 99 provides preferential
tariff treatment for certain sugar and
syrup goods and sugar-containing
products of Morocco entered under
subheading 9912.17.10 through
9912.17.85 in an amount equal to the
amount by which Morocco’s trade
surplus exceeds the specific quantity set
out in that note for that calendar year.
During CY2009, the most recent year
for which data is available, Morocco’s
imports of the sugar and syrup goods
and sugar-containing products
described above exceeded its exports of
those goods by 975,826 metric tons
according to data published by its
