Proclamation 6655 of March 3, 1994

To Amend the Generalized System of Preferences

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

1. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended (``Trade Act'') (19 U.S.C. 2461 and
2462), and having due regard for the eligibility
criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it
is appropriate to designate Ukraine as a beneficiary
developing country for purposes of the Generalized
System of Preferences (``GSP'').

2. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483)
authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule (``HTS'') the substance of the
provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting
import treatment, and actions thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, 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 but not limited to
sections 501 and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim
that:

(1) General note 4(a) to the HTS, listing those
countries whose products are eligible for benefits of
the GSP, is modified by inserting ``Ukraine'' in
alphabetical order in the enumeration of independent
countries.

(2) Any provisions of previous proclamations and
Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of
this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent
of such inconsistency.

(3) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraph (1)
of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to
articles that are: (i) imported on or after January 1,
1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, on or after 15 days after the date of
publication of this proclamation in the Federal
Register.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and
eighteenth.
