ANNEX A ,.
Quota restrictions on imports of cotton and polyester/cotton textiles fromHongKong .
As has already been announced (Trade and Industry, 9 November, page 271),.agreement has been reached with Hong Kong on the level of their future exportsto the United Kingdom of woven polyester/cotton textiles. Exports from1 October 1972 have been subject to quantitative limits and a combined cotton andcotton/polyester quota for Hong Kong exports has been established. There will beno restrictions on imports of polyester/cotton yarn.
On and after 20 November 1972 individual import licences will be requiredfor the import of these textiles from Hong Kong and from South Korea and Taiwan.A separate announcement will be made next week about the administration of thearrangements for South Korea and Taiwan.
The quantitative restrictions applied to cotton and polyester/cotton in1972/73 will cover most woven textiles including cloth, garments and made-ups.For the purpose of these controls cotton goods are those containing more than50 per cent by weight of cotton and polyester/cotton goods are those containingboth cotton and polyester where the cotton content is 50 per cent or less byweight and the polyester content is 50 per cent or more by weight of the fibresother than cotton.
Overallquota for1973
For the 12 months of 1973 the overall quota for exports to the United Kingdomwill be 278 million sq.yds. composed of 202 million sq.yds. of cotton and76 million sq.yds.of polyester/cotton. Hong Kong may however vary the amountsof cotton and polyester/cotton exported within the overall total, but in no casemay they export more than 250 million sq.yds. of cotton (leaving a balance of.28 million sq.yds of polyester/cotton) or 90 million sq.yds. of polyster/cotton(leaving a balance of 188 million sq.yds. of cotton).
Polyster/cottonquota arrangements forl972 exports
For the last three months of 1972 a restraint level proportional to the1973 level has been agreed. In practical term this means that exported ofpolyester/cotton in the three-month period are charged against the restraintlevels in the following order:
(a) 19 million sq.yds. to be changed against a polyester/cotton quota for1972
(b) a further 3.5 million sq.yds. to be charged against the existing cottonquota for 1972
(c) any other exports will be charged by way of anticipation against the1973 combined quota.
COT/239Page 5
Categorization of1973 overall quota
The overall quota will be divided into 20 categories as shown on the followingtable. Within each category there will be restraints on the amount that can beexported of cotton and polyester/cotton respectively.
Administration ofthe 1972/1973 quota
The combined quotas for cotton and polyester/cotton will be administered bythe Hong Kong Government. Export licences will be required for the export ofcotton and cotton/polyester textiles to the.United Kingdom. Import LicensingBranch will issue import licences direct to importers on receipt by the Departmentof Trade and Industry from the Hong Kong licensing authority of a copy of theirexport licence for a particular consignment. Import licences will be issuedfreely and automatically within this quota limit and no application need thereforebe made by importers.
Transferability
Those types of cloth and garments for which no specific category is listedin the table below are classified, if woven garments or made-ups, in category 22;if finished cloth, in category 12; and if grey, bleached or mercerized cloth,in category 7.
Any surplus quota in categories 13 to 21 inclusive can be added to thecategory 22 quota.
Any surplus quota in categories 8 to 11 inclusive can be added to thecategory 12 quota and any surplus quota in categories 3 to 6 inclusive can beadded to the category 7 quota.
After such transfers as are described above have been made any surplusquota in category 22 can be added to category 12 quota and any surplus in category12 can be added to category 7 quota.
