 118 STAT. 4163 PROCLAMATION 7808—SEPT. 7, 2004 12. I have determined that each NAFTA Party has eliminated or re- duced its normal trade relations (most-favored-nation) rates of duty ap- plicable to the goods enumerated in Table 308.1.1 of NAFTA Annex 308.1 to the levels prescribed in that Table. Annex 308.1 provides for those goods to be originating goods under the NAFTA when imported from Canada or Mexico. 13. Pursuant to section 201(a) of the NAFTA Implementation Act, I have determined that the modifications to the HTS hereinafter pro- claimed concerning goods considered to be originating when imported from the territory of a NAFTA Party are necessary and appropriate to carry out or apply Article 308 and Annex 308.1 of the NAFTA. 14. Section 604 of the 1974 Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), author- izes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Con- stitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to Title V and section 604 of the 1974 Trade Act, section 112 of the AGOA, and section 201(a) of the NAFTA Implementation Act, do proclaim that: (1) Iraq is designated as a beneficiary developing country for pur- poses of the GSP, effective 15 days after the date of this proclamation. (2) In order to reflect this designation in the HTS, general note 4(a) to the HTS is modified by adding ‘‘Iraq’’; to the list entitled ‘‘Inde- pendent Countries’’;, effective with respect to articles entered, or with- drawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 15 days after the date of this proclamation. (3) In order to provide that a country no longer be treated as a bene- ficiary developing country with respect to an eligible article for pur- poses of the GSP, general note 4(d) to the HTS is modified as provided in section 1 of Annex I. (4) In order to withdraw preferential tariff treatment under the GSP for a certain article imported from a certain beneficiary developing country, the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for such HTS sub- heading is modified as provided for in section 2 of Annex I to this proclamation. (5) The waiver of the application of section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act to the article in the HTS subheading and to the beneficiary devel- oping country listed in section 3 of Annex I to this proclamation is re- voked. (6) In order to provide for the preferential treatment provided for in section 506A and 506B of the GSP, as amended by section 7(a) of the AGOA Acceleration Act, and section 112 of the AGOA, as amended by sections 7(b) through (f) of the AGOA Acceleration Act, the HTS is modified as provided in Annex II to this proclamation. (7) In order to implement Article 308 and Annex 308.1 of the NAFTA for certain automatic data processing machinery and parts im- ported from Canada and Mexico, the HTS is modified as provided in Annex III to this proclamation.
