Title 3—
Proclamation 9834 of December 21, 2018
The President
To Take Certain Actions Under the African Growth and Opportunity Act and for Other Purposes
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
1. In Proclamation 8468 of December 23, 2009, the President designated
the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (Mauritania) as a beneficiary sub-Saharan
African country for purposes of section 506A(a)(1) of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended (the ‘‘Trade Act’’), as added by section 111(a) of the
African Growth and Opportunity Act (title I of Public Law 106–200, 114
Stat. 251).
2. Section 506A(a)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2466a(a)(3)) authorizes
the President to terminate the designation of a country as a beneficiary
sub-Saharan African country for purposes of section 506A if he determines
that the country is not making continual progress in meeting the requirements
described in section 506A(a)(1) of the Trade Act.
3. Pursuant to section 506A(a)(3) of the Trade Act, I have determined that
Mauritania is not making continual progress in meeting the requirements
described in section 506A(a)(1) of the Trade Act. Accordingly, I have decided
to terminate the designation of Mauritania as a beneficiary sub-Saharan
African country for purposes of section 506A of the Trade Act, effective
January 1, 2019.
4. On April 22, 1985, the United States and Israel entered into the Agreement
on the Establishment of a Free Trade Area between the Government of
the United States of America and the Government of Israel (the ‘‘USIFTA’’),
which the Congress approved in section 3 of the United States-Israel Free
Trade Area Implementation Act of 1985 (the ‘‘USIFTA Act’’) (19 U.S.C.
2112 note).

5. Section 4(b) of the USIFTA Act provides that, whenever the President
determines that it is necessary to maintain the general level of reciprocal
and mutually advantageous concessions with respect to Israel provided for
by the USIFTA, the President may proclaim such withdrawal, suspension,
modification, or continuance of any duty, or such continuance of existing
duty-free or excise treatment, or such additional duties, as the President
determines to be required or appropriate to carry out the USIFTA.
6. In order to maintain the general level of reciprocal and mutually advantageous concessions with respect to agricultural trade with Israel, on July
27, 2004, the United States entered into an agreement with Israel concerning
certain aspects of trade in agricultural products during the period January
1, 2004, through December 31, 2008 (the ‘‘2004 Agreement’’).
7. In Proclamation 7826 of October 4, 2004, consistent with the 2004 Agreement, President Bush determined, pursuant to section 4(b) of the USIFTA
Act, that, in order to maintain the general level of reciprocal and mutually
advantageous concessions with respect to Israel provided for by the USIFTA,
it was necessary to provide duty-free access into the United States through
December 31, 2008, for specified quantities of certain agricultural products
of Israel.
8. Each year from 2008 through 2017, the United States and Israel entered
into agreements to extend the period that the 2004 Agreement was in force

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 4 / Monday, January 7, 2019 / Presidential Documents
for 1-year periods to allow additional time for the two governments to
conclude an agreement to replace the 2004 Agreement.
9. To carry out the extension agreements, the President in Proclamation
8334 of December 31, 2008; Proclamation 8467 of December 23, 2009; Proclamation 8618 of December 21, 2010; Proclamation 8770 of December 29,
2011; Proclamation 8921 of December 20, 2012; Proclamation 9072 of December 23, 2013; Proclamation 9223 of December 23, 2014; Proclamation 9383
of December 21, 2015; Proclamation 9555 of December 15, 2016; and Proclamation 9687 of December 22, 2017, modified the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (‘‘HTS’’) to provide duty-free access into the United
States for specified quantities of certain agricultural products of Israel, each
time for an additional 1-year period.
10. On November 8, 2018, the United States entered into an agreement
with Israel to extend the period that the 2004 Agreement is in force through
December 31, 2019, and to allow for further negotiations on an agreement
to replace the 2004 Agreement.
11. Pursuant to section 4(b) of the USIFTA Act, I have determined that
it is necessary, in order to maintain the general level of reciprocal and
mutually advantageous concessions with respect to Israel provided for by
the USIFTA, to provide duty-free access into the United States through
the close of December 31, 2019, for specified quantities of certain agricultural
products of Israel, as provided in Annex I of this proclamation.
12. Section 915(b) of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act
of 2015 (the ‘‘TFTEA’’) (19 U.S.C. 4454(b)) authorizes the President to provide
preferential treatment for eligible articles imported directly from Nepal into
the customs territory of the United States.
13. In Proclamation 9555 of December 15, 2016, the President determined,
taking into account the factors specified in section 915(b)(1)(B) of the TFTEA,
that Nepal met the eligibility requirements of that section. Accordingly,
and after receiving advice from the United States International Trade Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) in accordance with section 503(e) of the Trade
Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(e)), the President determined to designate certain articles
as eligible for duty-free treatment when imported from Nepal pursuant to
section 915(c)(2)(A)(iv) of the TFTEA.
14. Pursuant to section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483), I have
determined that it is appropriate to update the list of programs under which
special tariff treatment may be provided, and the programs’ corresponding
symbols, found in general note 3(c)(i) of the HTS in order to reflect more
clearly the tariff preference for certain products of Nepal and the symbol
of that program.

15. Proclamation 8894 of October 29, 2012, implemented the United StatesPanama Trade Promotion Agreement (the ‘‘PATPA’’) with respect to the
United States. Section 201(a) of the United States-Panama Trade Promotion
Agreement Implementation Act (the ‘‘PATPA Act’’) (Public Law 112–43,
125 Stat. 497, 501), authorizes the President to proclaim such modifications
or continuation of any duty, such continuation of duty-free or excise treatment, or such additional duties, as the President determines to be necessary
or appropriate to carry out or apply Article 3.28 of the PATPA, among
other portions of that agreement.
16. Sections 500, 514, and 625 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1500,
1514, and 1625) grant U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) authority
to determine the tariff classification of articles that have entered, or will
enter, the commerce of the United States. In 2017, CBP changed the classification of certain guayabera-style shirts subject to Article 3.28 of the PATPA.
17. In order to ensure the continuation of duty-free treatment for originating
guayabera-style shirts subject to Article 3.28 of the PATPA, and in accordance
with section 201 of the PATPA Act, I have determined that it is necessary
and appropriate to modify the HTS to carry out the duty reductions previously proclaimed.

18. Proclamation 6821 of September 12, 1995, established a tariff-rate quota
on certain tobacco and eliminated tariffs on certain other tobacco by adding
additional U.S. note 5 and various subheadings to chapter 24 of the HTS.
Additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 24 of the HTS provides that the tariffrate quota applies to the aggregate quantity of tobacco entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse for consumption, under enumerated HTS subheadings from
specified countries or areas, except that the tariff-rate quota does not apply
to smoking tobacco unless it is manufactured for use in cigarettes.
19. Proclamation 8771 of December 29, 2011, pursuant to the authority
provided in section 1206(a) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness
Act of 1988 (the ‘‘1988 Act’’) (19 U.S.C. 3006(a)), modified the HTS to
reflect amendments to the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (the ‘‘Convention’’).
20. HTS subheading 2403.11.00, covering water pipe tobacco that is not
used in cigarettes, was incorrectly added to the subheadings enumerated
in additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 24. I have determined, in accordance
with section 604 of the Trade Act, that a modification to the HTS is needed
to correct this technical error.
21. In accordance with my direction, the United States Trade Representative
announced in the Federal Register notice of September 21, 2018, 83 FR
47974 (the ‘‘USTR Notice’’), his determination to modify the action taken
in the Section 301 Action: China’s Acts, Policies, and Practices Related
to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property, and Innovation by imposing
additional duties on products of China classified in the full and partial
HTS subheadings set out in Annex A of that notice. The full and partial
subheadings covered by the USTR Notice include HTS subheading
2009.89.60.
22. Subsequently, Proclamation 9813 of October 30, 2018, divided HTS
subheading 2009.89.60 into two new subheadings, 2009.89.65 and 2009.89.70,
in order to provide that several countries should no longer be treated as
beneficiary developing countries with respect to one or more eligible articles
for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences. In order to maintain
the scope of the modification to the Section 301 action announced in the
USTR Notice, and in accordance with section 604 of the Trade Act, I
have determined that it is necessary to modify U.S. note 20(f) to subchapter
III of chapter 99 of the HTS.
23. The Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Act of 2018 (Public Law 115–239, 132
Stat. 2451), enacted on September 13, 2018, and effective October 13, 2018,
created three headings in the HTS, 9902.01.15, 9902.01.16, and 9902.01.17,
that refer to articles provided for in subheading 2009.89.60. As a result
of the division of that subheading into two new subheadings in Proclamation
9813, those articles are now provided for in 2009.89.70. In accordance
with section 604 of the Trade Act, I have determined that it is necessary
to amend headings 9902.01.15, 9902.01.16, and 9902.01.17 of the HTS to
reflect the correct new subheading.

24. On June 30, 2007, the United States signed the United States-Korea
Free Trade Agreement (the ‘‘KORUS’’). The Congress approved the KORUS
in section 101(a) of the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the ‘‘KORUS Act’’) (Public Law 112–41, 125 Stat. 428).
25. Proclamation 8783 of March 6, 2012, implemented the KORUS with
respect to the United States and, pursuant to section 201 of the KORUS
Act, incorporated in the HTS the tariff modifications necessary or appropriate
to carry out the staged reductions in duty that the President determined
to be necessary or appropriate to carry out or apply Articles 2.3, 2.5, and
2.6 of the KORUS, and the schedule of duty reductions with respect to
Korea set forth in Annex 2–B, Annex 4–B, and Annex 22–A of the KORUS.
26. Section 201(b) of the KORUS Act (125 Stat. 433) authorizes the President,
subject to the consultation and layover requirements of section 104 (125
Stat. 431–32), to proclaim such modifications or continuation of any duty,

such modifications as the United States may agree to with Korea regarding
the staging of any duty treatment set forth in Annex 2–B of the KORUS,
such continuation of duty-free or excise treatment, or such additional duties,
as the President determines to be necessary or appropriate to maintain
the general level of reciprocal and mutually advantageous concessions with
respect to Korea provided for by the KORUS.
27. The United States and Korea have agreed to modify the KORUS by
modifying the staging of duty treatment for specific goods of Korea. I have
determined that modification of the tariff treatment set forth in Proclamation
8783 is therefore necessary or appropriate to maintain the general level
of reciprocal and mutually advantageous concessions with respect to Korea
provided for by the KORUS, and to carry out the agreement with Korea
modifying the staging of duty treatment for specific goods.
28. On June 13, 2018, in accordance with section 104 of the KORUS Act,
the United States Trade Representative submitted a report to the Committee
on Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives that set forth the proposed modifications to the
duties for specific goods of Korea under the KORUS. The consultation and
layover period specified in section 104 expired on August 11, 2018.
29. Section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3006(a)) authorizes the President to proclaim modifications to the HTS based on the recommendations
of the Commission under section 1205 of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3005)
if he determines that the modifications are in conformity with United States
obligations under the Convention and do not run counter to the national
economic interest of the United States.
30. In Proclamation 9771 of July 30, 2018, pursuant to the authority provided
in section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act, the President modified the HTS to
reflect a small number of amendments to the Convention.
31. In order to ensure the continuation of staged reductions in rates of
duty for originating goods of Korea as provided in Proclamation 8783, under
tariff categories that were modified in Proclamation 9771 to reflect the
amendments to the Convention, I have determined that additional modifications to the HTS are necessary or appropriate.

32. Proclamation 7971 of December 22, 2005, implemented the United StatesMorocco Free Trade Agreement (the ‘‘USMFTA’’) with respect to the United
States and, pursuant to the United States-Morocco Free Trade Agreement
Implementation Act (Public Law 108–302, 118 Stat. 1103) (the ‘‘USMFTA
Act’’), incorporated in the HTS the tariff modifications and rules of origin
necessary or appropriate to carry out the USMFTA.
33. Section 203 of the USMFTA Act (118 Stat. 1109–15) provides rules
for determining whether goods imported into the United States originate
in the territory of Morocco and thus are eligible for the tariff and other
treatment contemplated under the USMFTA. Section 203(j)(2)(B)(i) of the
USMFTA Act (118 Stat. 1115) authorizes the President to proclaim, as a
part of the HTS, the rules of origin set out in the USMFTA, and to proclaim
modifications to such previously proclaimed rules of origin, subject to the
consultation and layover requirements of section 104 of the USMFTA Act
(118 Stat. 1106).
34. The United States and Morocco have agreed to modify certain USMFTA
rules of origin and to apply the modified rules to their bilateral trade.
On November 21, 2017, in accordance with section 104 of USMFTA Act,
the United States Trade Representative submitted a report to the Committee
on Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives that set forth the proposed modifications to specific
textile and apparel rules of origin of the USMFTA incorporated in the
HTS. The consultation and layover period specified in section 104 expired
on January 20, 2018.

35. In order to reflect the agreement between the United States and Morocco
related to USMFTA rules of origin, I have determined that it is necessary
to modify the HTS.
36. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President
to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that
Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder,
including removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate
of duty or other import restriction.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States
of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution
and the laws of the United States of America, including section 506A(a)(3)

KORUS Act (125 Stat. 433); section 203(j) of the USMFTA Act (118 Stat.
1115); and section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483), do proclaim
that:
(1) The designation of Mauritania as a beneficiary sub-Saharan African
country for purposes of section 506A of the Trade Act is terminated, effective
January 1, 2019.
(2) In order to reflect in the HTS that beginning January 1, 2019, Mauritania
shall no longer be designated as a beneficiary sub-Saharan African country,
general note 16(a) to the HTS is modified by deleting ‘‘Islamic Republic
of Mauritania’’ from the list of beneficiary sub-Saharan African countries.
(3) The modification to the HTS set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles that are entered

The modification set forth in this paragraph shall be effective with respect
to goods that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, on or after January 1, 2019.
(9) In order to correct a technical error in the administration of a tobacco
tariff-rate quota, additional U.S. note 5(a) to chapter 24 is modified by

be effective with respect to goods that are entered for consumption, or

TEMPORARY EXTENSION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF
THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE UNITED STATES
Effective with respect to eligible agricultural products of Israel which are entered for
consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 1, 2019, and
