Request for Textile Tariff Relief, TR-2002-002
The CITT has initiated an investigation into a request by Peerless Clothing Inc. for tariff relief on needleloom felt, not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated, containing 10 per cent or more of wool or fine animal hair, of subheading No. 5602.10, for use as chest pieces between the lining and outer fabric in the manufacture of men’s jackets (including suit jackets) and blazers.
The Tribunal will conduct an investigation under section 19 of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act into the appropriateness of reducing or removing the Customs duty on importations of the subject fabric, which is classified in subheading No. 5602.10.
The Tribunal’s investigation was begun on 22 October 2002, and will be conducted by written submission. To participate in the investigation, the requester or interested party must file a notice of appearance with the CITT in Form I of the Textile Reference Guidelines on or before 12 November 2002. The Tribunal’s recommendations to the Minister of Finance are scheduled to be issued by 19 February 2003.
