Proposed Rebate of the Duty on Textiles and Textiles Fabrics

The proposed rebate of the rate of customs duty related to artificial filament yarn, yarn, other yarn, and yarn excluding sewing thread. The Rebate Items are too lengthy to reproduce, but if you send us an email, we will send you a copy of the full notice. The application was lodged by the Textile Federation of South Africa who reasoned that the products in question were not manufactured in Sacu, and that the customs duties paid on raw materials rendered the application uncompetitive against the imported finished product. Comment is due by 15 April 2011.
