(AGOA). Therefore, imports of eligible
products from Mali qualify for the
textile and apparel benefits provided
under the AGOA.
DATES: This notice is applicable August

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Constance Hamilton, Assistant United
States Trade Representative for Africa at
Constance_Hamilton@ustr.eop.gov or
(202) 395–9514.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
AGOA (Title I of the Trade and
Development Act of 2000, Pub. L. 106–
200, as amended) provides preferential
tariff treatment for imports of certain
textile and apparel products of
beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries. The textile and apparel trade
benefits under the AGOA are available
to imports of eligible products from
countries that the President designates
as beneficiary sub-Saharan African
countries, provided that these countries:
(1) Have adopted an effective visa
system and related procedures to
prevent the unlawful transshipment of
textile and apparel articles and the use
of counterfeit documents in connection
with shipment of such articles, and (2)
have implemented and follow, or are
making substantial progress towards
implementing and following, certain
customs procedures that assist U.S.
Customs and Border Protection in
verifying the origin of the products.
In Proclamation 9072 dated December
23, 2013, the President designated Mali
as a beneficiary sub-Saharan African
country and in Proclamation 9555 of
October 25, 2019, proclaimed, for the
purposes of section 112(c) of the AGOA,
that Mali should be considered a lesser
developed beneficiary sub-Saharan
African country.
In Proclamation 7350 of October 2,
2000, the President authorized the U.S.
Trade Representative to perform the
function of determining whether eligible
sub-Saharan countries have met the two
requirements described above. The
President directed the U.S. Trade
Representative to announce
determinations in the Federal Register
and to implement them through
modifications in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Based on the actions Mali has taken,
the U.S. Trade Representative has
determined that Mali has satisfied the
two requirements for eligibility for
textile and apparel benefits under the
AGOA. No modifications to the HTSUS
are necessary in order to implement this
determination. Imports claiming
preferential tariff treatment under the
AGOA for entries of textile and apparel

articles should ensure that those entries
meet the applicable visa requirements.

African Growth and Opportunity Act,
