About this statute

The Council approves signing the interim agreement, authorises the President to designate who may sign for the European Community, and provides for provisional application of the agreement pending conclusion procedures. This chapter says the Parties will apply the SPS and TBT agreements to covered goods, share information and consult on SPS/TBT issues, and use dispute-settlement steps if problems arise. This annex sets tariff rules for goods from Pacific States, including duty eliminations, quotas, safeguard measures, import-license conditions, and notification duties. This provision lists tariff rates for many commodity codes, including some specific ad valorem and per-litre duties, and some lines marked “Excl.” This table lists tariff rates for many product codes, including percentage duties and some duties stated as a percentage or a dollar amount per unit, whichever is greater.
