Request for Fast Track Tariff Relief on Certain Knit Laces
The Department of Finance has received a request for fast track tariff relief on certain knit laces for use in the manufacture of brassieres.
The fabrics in question are described as "lace-like warp knit fabrics of non-textured nylon filaments and elastometric yarns" classified under tariff item No. 6002.10.90 or 6002.30.90 and are currently dutiable at 16 per cent MFN.
The applicant claims these fabrics are not available from Canadian sources and that tariff relief would enhance its competitiveness in both the domestic and export markets.
Members wishing to comment on this request should contact Ms. Rose Ritcey at [email protected] by 7 September 2001.
