Further to submissions received to our letter dated April 10, 2002, we are proposing to amend the wording of tariff item No. 5503.20.10 to read as follows:

5503.20.10
Bi-component fibres solely of polyester crimped staple fibres of lengths ranging from 1 cm to 10 cm, measuring not more than 25 decitex, for use in the manufacture of thermally bonded non-woven fabrics, or thermally-bonded wadding, or thermally bonded felt.

We will examine this matter in the context of a forthcoming legislative initiative to amend the Customs Tariff.
