ITA Withdraws Regulations on Cotton Woven Fabric TRQs and Steel "Short Supply"

May 25, 2012 by Brian Feito|Commerce Dept.

Regulations pertaining to imports of cotton woven fabric and short supply procedures were withdrawn by the International Trade Administration. Effective June 25, 2012, 15 CFR Part 336 and 19 CFR Part 357, which provided for tariff rate quotas for cotton woven fabric and “short supply” voluntary restraints on certain steel imports, respectively, will be removed from the Code of Federal Regulations. The ITA said both sets of regulations are obsolete, because the tariff rate quota on cotton woven fabric expired in 2009, and the short supply voluntary restraints have not affected U.S. trade for over 19 years.
