                Proclamation 10053 of June 29, 2020

                
To Take Certain Actions Under the United States-
                Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act and for 
                Other Purposes

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                1. On November 30, 2018, the United States, Mexico, and 
                Canada entered into the Agreement between the United 
                States of America, the United Mexican States, and 
                Canada (the ``USMCA''), attached as an Annex to the 
                Protocol Replacing the North American Free Trade 
                Agreement with the Agreement between the United States 
                of America, the United Mexican States, and Canada (the 
                ``Protocol''), and on December 10, 2019, the United 
                States, Mexico, and Canada amended the USMCA through 
                the Protocol of Amendment to the Agreement between the 
                United States of America, the United Mexican States, 
                and Canada. The Congress approved the Protocol and the 
                USMCA, as amended, in section 101(a) of the United 
                States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (the 
                ``USMCA Implementation Act'')(Public Law 116-113, 134 
                Stat. 11, 14 (19 U.S.C. 4511(a))).

                2. On April 24, 2020, pursuant to authority delegated 
                to the United States Trade Representative (USTR), the 
                USTR submitted to the Congress the written notice 
                required under section 106(a)(1)(G) of the Bipartisan 
                Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act 
                of 2015 (title I of Public Law 114-26, 129 Stat. 319, 
                350 (19 U.S.C. 4205(a)(1)(G))) and, in accordance with 
                section 101(b) of the USMCA Implementation Act, 
                notified the Congress that the USMCA will enter into 
                force on July 1, 2020.

                3. Section 103(c)(1) of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                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 articles 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 
                2.10, 6.2, and 6.3, the Schedule of the United States 
                to Annex 2-B, including the appendices to that Annex, 
                Annex 2-C, and Annex 6-A of the USMCA.

                4. Section 103(c)(4) of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                requires the President to take such actions as may be 
                necessary in implementing the tariff-rate quotas set 
                forth in the Schedule of the United States to Annex 2-B 
                of the USMCA to ensure that imports of agricultural 
                goods do not disrupt the orderly marketing of 
                agricultural goods in the United States.

                5. Section 103(c)(5)(A) of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                authorizes the President to proclaim, as part of the 
                Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), 
                the provisions set forth in Annex 4-B; the provisions 
                set forth in paragraph 2 of article 3.A.6 of Annex 3-A; 
                the provisions set forth in paragraph 5 of Annex 3-B; 
                and the provisions set forth in paragraphs 14(b), 
                14(c), and 15(e) of section B of Appendix 2 to Annex 2-
                B of the USMCA.

                6. Section 103(c)(5)(A) of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                also authorizes the President to proclaim any 
                additional subordinate category that is necessary to 
                carry out section 202 and section 202A of the USMCA 
                Implementation Act consistent with the USMCA.

                7. Section 103(c)(5)(B) of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                authorizes the President to proclaim modifications to 
                the provisions proclaimed under the authority of 
                section 103(c)(5)(A), subject to the consultation and 
                layover provisions of section 104, as are necessary to 
                implement an agreement under article 6.4 of the USMCA.

                8. Section 105(a) of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                authorizes the President to establish or designate 
                within the Department of Commerce an office to serve as 
                the United States Section of the Secretariat 
                established under article 30.6 of the USMCA.

                9. Section 202 of the USMCA Implementation Act sets 
                forth certain rules for determining whether a good is 
                an originating good for purposes of implementing 
                preferential tariff treatment provided for under the 
                USMCA. Section 202A of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                sets forth certain rules for determining whether 
                certain automotive goods are originating goods for 
                purposes of implementing preferential tariff treatment 
                provided for under the USMCA. I have decided that it is 
                necessary to include the rules of origin set forth in 
                sections 202 and 202A of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                in the HTS.

                10. Section 207 of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                authorizes the President to take certain actions 
                relating to trade with Canada and Mexico, including 
                with respect to textile and apparel goods.

                11. Executive Order 11651 of March 3, 1972 (Textile 
                Trade Agreements), as amended, established the 
                Committee for Implementation of Textile Agreements 
                (CITA), consisting of representatives of the 
                Departments of State, the Treasury, Commerce, and 
                Labor, and the Office of the USTR, with the 
                representative of the Department of Commerce as 
                Chairman, to supervise the implementation of textile 
                trade agreements. Consistent with section 301 of title 
                3, United States Code, when carrying out functions 
                vested in the President by statute and assigned by the 
                President to the CITA, the officials collectively 
                exercising those functions are all to be officers 
                required to be appointed by the President with the 
                advice and consent of the Senate.

                12. Section 324 of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                authorizes the President to take certain actions if the 
                United States International Trade Commission (the 
                ``Commission'') finds that United States long-haul 
                trucking services are being, or are threatened with 
                being, materially harmed.

                13. Section 611(a) of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                requires the President to consult with the appropriate 
                congressional committees and stakeholders before each 
                joint review under article 34.7 of the USMCA.

                14. Section 1206(a) of the Omnibus Trade and 
                Competitiveness Act of 1988 (the ``1988 Act'') (Public 
                Law 100-418, 102 Stat. 1107, 1151 (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 
                the President determines that the modifications are in 
                conformity with United States obligations under the 
                International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity 
                Description and Coding System (the ``Convention'') and 
                do not run counter to the national economic interest of 
                the United States.

                15. In Proclamation 9549 of December 1, 2016, pursuant 
                to section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act, the President 
                proclaimed modifications to the HTS to conform it to 
                the Convention, to promote the uniform application of 
                the Convention, to establish additional subordinate 
                tariff categories, and to make technical and conforming 
                changes to existing provisions. These modifications to 
                the HTS were set forth in Annex I of Publication 4653 
                of the Commission, which was incorporated by reference 
                into the proclamation.

                16. On May 6, 2003, the President entered into the 
                United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (the 
                ``USSFTA''). The USSFTA was approved by the Congress in 
                section 101(a) of the United States-Singapore Free 
                Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the ``USSFTA Act'') 
                (Public Law 108-78, 117 Stat. 948, 949 (19 U.S.C. 3805 
                note)).

[[Page 39823]]

                17. Proclamation 7747 of December 30, 2003, implemented 
                the USSFTA with respect to the United States and, 
                pursuant to the USSFTA Act, incorporated in the HTS the 
                schedule of duty reductions and rules of origin 
                necessary or appropriate to carry out the USSFTA.

                18. Section 201 of the USSFTA Act 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 articles 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.12 
                and Annex 2B (including the schedule of United States 
                duty reductions with respect to originating goods) of 
                the USSFTA. The United States and Singapore are parties 
                to the Convention.

                19. I have determined that, pursuant to section 201 of 
                the USSFTA Act and section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act, 
                modifications to the HTS are necessary or appropriate 
                to ensure the continuation of tariff and certain other 
                treatment accorded to originating goods under tariff 
                categories modified in Proclamation 9549 and to carry 
                out the duty reductions proclaimed in Proclamation 
                7747.

                20. On November 22, 2006, the United States entered 
                into the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion 
                Agreement (the ``USCTPA''), and on June 28, 2007, the 
                United States and Colombia amended the USCTPA. The 
                Congress approved the USCTPA, as amended, in section 
                101(a) of the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion 
                Agreement Implementation Act (the ``USCTPA Act'') 
                (Public Law 112-42, 125 Stat. 462, 463-64 (19 U.S.C. 
                3805 note)).

                21. Proclamation 8818 of May 14, 2012, implemented the 
                USCTPA with respect to the United States and, pursuant 
                to sections 201(a) and 203(o) of the USCTPA Act, 
                incorporated in the HTS the schedule of duty reductions 
                and rules of origin necessary or appropriate to carry 
                out the USCTPA.

                22. Section 201 of the USCTPA Act 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 articles 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, and 
                3.1.13, and Annex 2.3 (including the schedule of United 
                States duty reductions with respect to originating 
                goods) of the USCTPA. The United States and Colombia 
                are parties to the Convention.

                23. I have determined that, pursuant to section 201 of 
                the USCTPA Act and section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act, 
                modifications to the HTS are necessary or appropriate 
                to ensure the continuation of tariff and certain other 
                treatment accorded to originating goods under tariff 
                categories modified in Proclamation 9549 and to carry 
                out the duty reductions proclaimed in Proclamation 
                8818.

                24. Section 203 of the USCTPA Act provides rules for 
                determining whether goods imported into the United 
                States originate in the territory of a party to the 
                USCTPA and thus are eligible for the tariff and other 
                treatment contemplated under the USCTPA. A rule of 
                origin was inadvertently omitted from general note 34 
                to the HTS in Proclamation 8818. I have determined that 
                a technical correction to general note 34 to the HTS is 
                necessary to provide for the intended tariff and 
                certain other treatment accorded under the USCTPA to 
                originating goods of Colombia.

                25. On June 30, 2007, the United States entered into 
                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, 430 (19 U.S.C. 3805 note)).

                26. Proclamation 8783 of March 6, 2012, implemented the 
                KORUS with respect to the United States and, pursuant 
                to sections 201(a) and 202(o) of the KORUS Act, 
                incorporated in the HTS the tariff modifications and 
                rules of origin necessary or appropriate to carry out 
                the KORUS.

                27. Section 202 of the KORUS Act provides rules for 
                determining whether goods imported into the United 
                States originate in the territory of a party

[[Page 39824]]

                to the KORUS and thus are eligible for the tariff and 
                other treatment contemplated under the KORUS. Section 
                202(o)(2)(B)(i) of the KORUS Act authorizes the 
                President to proclaim, as a part of the HTS, the rules 
                of origin set forth in the KORUS, and, subject to the 
                consultation and layover requirements of section 104, 
                to proclaim modifications to such previously proclaimed 
                rules of origin.

                28. The United States and Korea have agreed to modify a 
                certain rule of origin under the KORUS and to apply the 
                modified rule to their bilateral trade. On August 14, 
                2019, in accordance with section 104 of the KORUS Act, 
                the USTR submitted a report to the Committee on Finance 
                of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of 
                the House of Representatives that sets forth the 
                proposed modification to the specific textile rule of 
                origin of the KORUS incorporated in the HTS. The 
                consultation and layover period specified in section 
                104 expired on October 14, 2019.

                29. In order to reflect the agreement between the 
                United States and Korea related to the KORUS rules of 
                origin, I have determined that it is necessary to 
                modify the HTS.

                30. Proclamation 8783 inadvertently omitted a rule of 
                origin from general note 33 to the HTS. I have 
                determined that a technical correction to general note 
                33 to the HTS is necessary to provide for the intended 
                tariff and certain other treatment accorded under the 
                KORUS to originating goods of Korea.

                31. On June 28, 2007, the United States entered into 
                the United States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement (the 
                ``USPATPA''). The Congress approved the USPATPA in 
                section 101(a) of the United States-Panama Trade 
                Promotion Agreement Implementation Act (the ``USPATPA 
                Act'') (Public Law 112-43, 125 Stat. 497, 498-99 (19 
                U.S.C. 3805 note)).

                32. Proclamation 8894 of October 29, 2012, implemented 
                the USPATPA with respect to the United States, and, 
                pursuant to sections 201(a) and 203(o) of the USPATPA 
                Act, incorporated in the HTS the tariff modifications 
                and rules of origin necessary or appropriate to carry 
                out the USPATPA.

                33. Section 203 of the USPATPA Act provides rules for 
                determining whether goods imported into the United 
                States originate in the territory of a party to the 
                USPATPA and thus are eligible for the tariff and other 
                treatment contemplated under the USPATPA.

                34. A rule of origin was inadvertently omitted from 
                general note 35 to the HTS in Proclamation 8894. I have 
                determined that a technical correction to general note 
                35 to the HTS is necessary to provide for the intended 
                tariff and certain other treatment accorded under the 
                USPATPA to originating goods of Panama.

                35. In Proclamation 9955 of October 25, 2019, after 
                considering the factors set forth in sections 501 and 
                502(c) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, (the 
                ``1974 Act'') (Public Law 93-618, 88 Stat. 1978, 2066-
                69 (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462(c))), and in particular 
                section 502(c)(7) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 
                2462(c)(7)), I suspended the duty-free treatment 
                accorded under the Generalized System of Preferences 
                (GSP) (19 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.) to certain eligible 
                articles that are the product of Thailand. In order to 
                reflect in the HTS this suspension of certain benefits 
                under the GSP with respect to Thailand, Annex 2 of 
                Proclamation 9955 modified general note 4(d) and 
                certain subheadings of the HTS.

                36. Section 604 of the 1974 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.

                37. Annex 2 of Proclamation 9955 inadvertently omitted 
                changes with respect to seven subheadings of the HTS. I 
                have determined, pursuant to section

[[Page 39825]]

                604 of the 1974 Act, that it is necessary to modify the 
                HTS to correct those inadvertent omissions so that the 
                intended tariff treatment is provided.

                38. Proclamation 9466 of June 30, 2016, modified the 
                HTS to provide for the tariff treatment of goods 
                covered by the 2015 World Trade Organization 
                Declaration on the Expansion of Trade in Information 
                Technology Products, pursuant to section 111(b) of the 
                Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Public Law 103-465, 108 
                Stat. 4809, 4819-20 (19 U.S.C. 3521(b))). Proclamation 
                9466 modified the HTS in part by deleting all rates of 
                duty in the ``Rates of Duty 1-Special'' subcolumn for 
                certain subheadings.

                39. In Proclamation 9687 of December 22, 2017, after 
                considering the factors set forth in section 502(b) of 
                the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(b)), and in particular 
                section 502(b)(2)(E) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 
                2462(b)(2)(E)), I terminated the suspension of 
                Argentina's designation as a GSP beneficiary developing 
                country. In order to reflect in the HTS the termination 
                of the suspension of Argentina's designation as a GSP 
                beneficiary developing country, Annex IV of 
                Proclamation 9687 modified general note 4(d) and 
                certain subheadings of the HTS.

                40. In Proclamation 9687, after considering the factors 
                set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the 1974 Act, 
                and in particular section 502(c)(5) of the 1974 Act (19 
                U.S.C. 2462(c)(5)), I suspended the duty-free treatment 
                accorded under the GSP to certain eligible articles 
                that are the product of Ukraine. In order to reflect in 
                the HTS the suspension of certain benefits with respect 
                to Ukraine, Annex III of Proclamation 9687 modified 
                general note 4(d) and certain subheadings of the HTS.

                41. Proclamation 9687 inadvertently modified general 
                note 4(d) to the HTS to include certain subheadings for 
                which the rates of duty in the ``Rates of Duty 1-
                Special'' subcolumn were deleted by Proclamation 9466. 
                I have determined, pursuant to section 604 of the 1974 
                Act, that it is necessary to modify the HTS to reflect 
                the deletion of the rates of duty in the ``Rates of 
                Duty 1-Special'' column for those subheadings.

                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 sections 103(c), 
                105(a), 207, 324, and 611(a) of the USMCA 
                Implementation Act; section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act; 
                section 201 of the USSFTA Act; sections 201 and 203(o) 
                of the USCTPA Act; sections 201 and 202(o) of the KORUS 
                Act; sections 201 and 203(o) of the USPATPA Act; 
                section 604 of the 1974 Act; and section 301 of title 
                3, United States Code, do proclaim that:

                    (1) In order to provide generally for the 
                preferential tariff treatment being accorded under the 
                USMCA, to set forth rules for determining whether goods 
                imported into the customs territory of the United 
                States are eligible for preferential tariff treatment 
                under the USMCA, to provide tariff-rate quotas with 
                respect to certain originating goods of Canada, and to 
                provide certain other treatment to originating goods 
                for purposes of the USMCA, the HTS is modified as set 
                forth in Annex I of Publication 5060 of the Commission, 
                entitled ``Modifications to the Harmonized Tariff 
                Schedule of the United States to Implement the United 
                States-Mexico-Canada Agreement'' (Publication 5060). 
                Publication 5060 is incorporated by reference into this 
                proclamation.
                    (2) In order to implement the initial stage of duty 
                reduction provided for in the USMCA, to provide for 
                future staged reductions in duties for originating 
                goods provided for in the USMCA, and to provide tariff-
                rate quotas with respect to certain goods provided for 
                in the USMCA, the HTS is modified as set forth in Annex 
                II of Publication 5060.
                    (3) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraphs 
                (1) and (2) of this proclamation shall enter into 
                effect on the dates indicated in Annexes I and II of 
                Publication 5060.

[[Page 39826]]

                    (4) In order to reflect in the HTS the termination 
                of tariff treatment under the North American Free Trade 
                Agreement, the HTS is modified as set forth in Annex 
                III of Publication 5060.
                    (5) The USTR is authorized to exercise my authority 
                under section 103(c)(4) of the USMCA Implementation Act 
                to take such action as may be necessary in implementing 
                the tariff-rate quotas set forth in the Schedule of the 
                United States to Annex 2-B of the USMCA to ensure that 
                imports of agricultural goods do not disrupt the 
                orderly marketing of agricultural goods in the United 
                States. This action is set forth in Annex II of 
                Publication 5060.
                    (6) The CITA, after consultation with the 
                Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (the 
                ``Commissioner''), is authorized to consult with 
                representatives of Canada and Mexico for the purpose of 
                identifying particular textile or apparel goods that 
                are mutually agreed to be hand-loomed fabrics of a 
                cottage industry, hand-made cottage industry goods made 
                of those hand-loomed fabrics, traditional folklore 
                handicraft goods, or indigenous handicraft goods, as 
                provided in article 6.2 of the USMCA. The CITA is 
                authorized to exercise my authority under section 
                103(c)(1) of the USMCA Implementation Act to provide 
                duty-free treatment with respect to a good provided for 
                under article 6.2 of the USMCA. The Commissioner shall 
                take action as directed by the CITA to carry out any 
                such determination by the CITA.
                    (7) The USTR is authorized to fulfill the 
                obligations of the President under section 104 of the 
                USMCA Implementation Act to obtain advice from the 
                appropriate advisory committees and the Commission on 
                the proposed implementation of an action by 
                Presidential proclamation; to submit a report on such 
                proposed action to the appropriate congressional 
                committees; and to consult with those congressional 
                committees regarding the proposed action.
                    (8) The Secretary of Commerce is authorized to 
                exercise the authority of the President under section 
                105(a) of the USMCA Implementation Act to establish or 
                designate an office within the Department of Commerce 
                to carry out the functions set forth in that section.
                    (9) The CITA is authorized to review requests for 
                modifications to a rule of origin for textile and 
                apparel goods based on a change in the availability in 
                the territories of the United States, Canada, and 
                Mexico of a particular fiber, yarn, or fabric; to 
                establish procedures governing such a request, 
                providing that the person making the request bears the 
                burden of demonstrating that a change is warranted, and 
                ensuring appropriate public participation in review of 
                a request; and to make a recommendation as to whether a 
                requested modification to a rule of origin for a 
                textile good based on a change in the availability of a 
                particular fiber, yarn, or fabric is warranted.
                    (10) The CITA is authorized to exercise my 
                authority under section 207(a)(2)(B) of the USMCA 
                Implementation Act to direct appropriate action under 
                section 207(a)(2)(D) with respect to textile and 
                apparel goods.
                    (11) The CITA is authorized to exercise my 
                authority under section 207(a)(1)(B) of the UMSCA 
                Implementation Act to direct action under section 
                207(c) with respect to textile and apparel goods.
                    (12) The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to 
                exercise my authority under section 207(a)(1)(B) of the 
                USMCA Implementation Act to direct action under section 
                207(a)(1)(B)(i) or section 207(c) with respect to goods 
                other than textile or apparel goods.
                    (13) The USTR is authorized, after consultation 
                with the Secretary of Transportation, to exercise my 
                authority under section 324 of the USMCA Implementation 
                Act.
                    (14) The USTR is authorized to exercise the 
                function assigned to the President under section 611(a) 
                of the USMCA Implementation Act to consult

[[Page 39827]]

                with the appropriate congressional committees and 
                stakeholders regarding joint reviews under article 34.7 
                of the USMCA.
                    (15) In order to reflect in the HTS the 
                modifications to the rules of origin under the USSFTA, 
                general note 25 to the HTS is modified as set forth in 
                Annex IV of Publication 5060.
                    (16) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraph 
                (15) of this proclamation shall enter into effect on

                    (17) In order to reflect in the HTS the 
                modifications to the rules of origin under the USCTPA,

                Annex V of Publication 5060.
                    (18) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraph 
                (17) of this proclamation shall enter into effect on 
                the date indicated in Annex V of Publication 5060.
                    (19) In order to implement agreed amendments to a 
                textile rule of origin under the KORUS, general note 33 
                to the HTS is modified as set forth in Annex VI of 
                Publication 5060.
                    (20) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraph 
                (19) of this proclamation shall enter into effect on 
                the date indicated in Annex VI of Publication 5060.
                    (21) In order to make technical corrections 
                necessary to provide the intended rules of origin under 
                the USCTPA, the KORUS, and the USPATPA, the HTS is 
                modified as set forth in Annex VII of Publication 5060.
                    (22) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraph
