SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article 5
of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture provides that additional import duties may be imposed on imports of products subject to tariffication as a result of the Uruguay Round, if certain conditions are met. The agreement permits additional duties to be charged if the price of an individual shipment of imported products falls below the average price for similar goods imported SUMMARY:

during the years 198688 by a specified percentage. It also permits additional duties when the volume of imports of that product exceeds the sum of 1 a base trigger level multiplied by the average of the last three years of available import data and 2 the change in yearly consumption in the most recent year for which data are available provided that the final trigger level is not less than 105 percent of the threeyear import average. The base trigger level is set at 105, 110, or 125 percent of the three-year import average, depending on the percentage of domestic consumption that is represented by imports. These additional duties may not be imposed on quantities for which minimum or current access commitments were made during the Uruguay Round negotiations, and only one type of safeguard, price or quantity, may be applied at any given time to an article.
Section 405 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires that the President cause to be published in the Federal Register information regarding the price and quantity safeguards, including the quantity trigger levels, which must be updated annually based upon import levels during the most recent 3 years. The President delegated this duty to the Secretary of Agriculture
in Presidential Proclamation No. 6763, dated December 23, 1994, 60 FR 1007
Jan. 4, 1995. The Secretary of Agriculture further delegated this duty, which lies with the Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service 7 CFR
2.601a42. The Annex to this notice contains the updated quantity trigger levels, consistent with the provisions of Article 5.
Additional information on the products subject to safeguards and the additional duties which may apply can be found in subchapter IV of Chapter 99
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 2021 and in the Secretary of Agricultures Notice of Uruguay Round Agricultural Safeguard Trigger Levels, published in the Federal Register at 60 FR 427 Jan. 4, 1995.
Notice: As provided in Section 405 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, consistent with Article 5 of the WTO
Agreement on Agriculture, the safeguard quantity trigger levels previously notified are superseded by the levels indicated in the Annex to this notice.
The definitions of these products were provided in the Notice of Safeguard Action published in the Federal Register, at 60 FR 427 Jan. 4, 1995.
Clay M. Hamilton, Acting Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
