Under the United States-Israel
Free Trade Area Implementation Act
(IFTA Act), articles of qualifying
industrial zones (QIZs) encompassing
portions of Israel and Jordan or Israel
and Egypt are eligible to receive dutyfree treatment. Effective upon
publication of this notice, the United

authority delegated by the President, is
modifying the designation of the
previously-designated Al Minya,
Alexandria, Beni Suief, Central Delta,
Greater Cairo, and Suez Canal zones in
Egypt under the IFTA Act to provide
that all present and future facilities in
these zones are potentially able to
export goods duty-free to the United
States. This modification would also
clarify and, in some cases, adjust the
geographic boundaries of the QIZs.

as amended (19 U.S.C. 2112 note),
Presidential Proclamation 6955 of
November 13, 1996 (61 FR 58761)
proclaimed certain tariff treatment for
articles of the West Bank, the Gaza
Strip, and qualifying industrial zones. In
particular, the Presidential Proclamation
modified general notes 3 and 8 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States: (a) To provide duty-free
treatment to qualifying articles that are
the product of the West Bank, the Gaza
Strip, or a qualifying industrial zone
and are entered in accordance with the
provisions of section 9 of the IFTA Act;
(b) to provide that articles of Israel may
be treated as though they were articles
directly shipped from Israel for
purposes of the United States-Israel Free
Trade Area Agreement (‘‘the
Agreement’’) even if shipped to the
United States from the West Bank, the
Gaza Strip, or a qualifying industrial
zone, if the articles otherwise meet the
requirements of the Agreement; and (c)
to provide that the cost or value of
materials produced in the West Bank,
the Gaza Strip, or a qualifying industrial
zone may be included in the cost or
value of materials produced in Israel
under section 1(c)(i) of Annex 3 of the
Agreement and that the direct costs of
processing operations performed in the
West Bank, the Gaza Strip, or a
qualifying industrial zone may be
included in the direct costs of
processing operations performed in
Israel under section 1(c)(ii) of Annex 3
of the Agreement.
Section 9(e) of the IFTA Act defines
a ‘‘qualifying industrial zone’’ as an area
that ‘‘(1) encompasses portions of the
territory of Israel and Jordan or Israel
and Egypt; (2) has been designated by
local authorities as an enclave where
merchandise may enter without
payment of duty or excise taxes; and (3)
has been specified by the President as
a qualifying industrial zone.’’
Presidential Proclamation 6955
delegated to the United States Trade
Representative the authority to
designate qualifying industrial zones.
The United States Trade
Representative has previously
designated six qualifying industrial
zones in Egypt under Section 9 of the
IFTA Act, on March 13, 1998 (63 FR
12572), March 19, 1999 (64 FR 13623),
