Pursuant to section 201(a) of the Implementation Act, I have deter- mined that it is necessary to provide for the continued staged reduction in duties on certain tobacco for goods originating in the territory of Canada. 5.

(4) The amendments made by Annex I of this Proclamation shall be ef- fective with respect to articles both: (i) imported on or after January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consimiption, on or after the date that is 2 days after the publication of this Procla- mation in the Federal Register. ^ ^. (5) The amendments made by Annex II of this Proclamation shall be effective with respect to goods originating in the territory of Canada which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consimiption, on or after the dates specified in such Annexes.
