Dear Mr. Chen:
I refer to the Agreement between American Institute in Taiwan (
AIT) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office
(TECRO) relating to trade in cotton, wool, man-made fiber, silk
blend and other non-cotton vegetable fiber textile products eff-
ected by an exchange of letters January 10 and May 2, 1997 (”T-
he Agreement”).
I propose that TECRO and AIT amend and extend the Agreement for
three years. The proposed Agreement is attached with this letter
.
If the proposal contained in this letter is acceptable to TECRO,
then this letter and your reply confirming the contents thereof
on behalf of TECRO will constitute an agreement between AIT and
TECRO governing trade in cotton, wool, man-made fiber, silk ble-
nd and other non-cotton vegetable fiber textile products between
Taiwan and the United States of America, which shall enter into
force on the date of your reply and become effective on January
1, 1998.
Sincerely

Agreement Between The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representati-
ve Office and The American Institute in Taiwan Concerning Trade
in Textile and Apparel Products
Term
1.
(a) The term of this Agreement shall be from January 1, 1998, t-
hrough December 31, 2000, except as provided in paragraph 16
.
(b) An ”agreement year”shall be a calendar year commencing on
January 1 and ending December 31.
Continuation of Provisions Upon WTO Membership
2.If before the end of the three-year term of this agreement, C-
hinese Taipei becomes a member of the World Trade Organization
(WTO) and the United States applies the Agreement Establishing
the WTO (WTO Agreement) to Chinese Taipei, then the arrangeme-
nts in this Agreement establishing quotas and the provisions
set out in paragraphs 3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,18 and 19 wi-
ll be directly relevant to the ability of TECRO and AIT to im-
plement the WTO Agreement and the Uruguay Round Agreement on
Textiles and Clothing. Therefore, upon membership of Chinese
Taipei to the WTO and application of the WTO Agreement by the
United States to Chinese Taipei, these provisions will remain
in force, will be incorporated into the Uruguay Round Agreeme-
nt on Textiles and Clothing, and will be notified to the Text-
iles Monitoring Body. This stipulation will also be incorpora-
ted into the working party report on Chinese Taipei's accessi-
on to the WTO.

Export Certification System
7.
(a) Each category and part-category not subject to a specific l-
imit will be subject to the consultation procedures as set
forth in sub-paragraphs 7(b) through 7(h) below.
(b)
(Ⅰ) TECRO shall provide weekly reports promptly (i.e., as soon
as possible but in no case later than five U.S. working da-
ys following the close of the reporting period) to AIT on
export certifications (EC), by category and part-category,
issued for export to the United States for each category a-
nd part-category not subject to a specific limit.
(Ⅱ) TECRO will notify AIT immediately whenever EC applications
for any category or part-category total 15 percent of the
previous agreement years's trade within the reporting peri-
od, provided that the issuance of such ECs would bring the
total cumulative issuances for the year to 80 percent of t-
he previous year's trade or 66,890 square meters equivalent
for wool products and 468,231 square meters equivalent for
cotton, man-made fiber, silk blend and other non-cotton ve-
getable fiber products, whichever is higher.
(Ⅲ) TECRO will wait at least five U.S. working days after noti-
fication to AIT before issuing ECs against the applications
in question.
(c) AIT may request consultations with a view to agreement on an
appropriate level of restraint for any category, part-categ-
ory, or product not given a specific limit for any agreement
year whenever, in the view of AIT, conditions in the U.S. m-
arket warrant such a limitation on further trade in any such
category, part-category, or product in order to eliminate a
real risk of market disruption.
(d) The request for such consultations shall be supported as so-
on as possible, and in any case within 21 days of the date
of the request, by a statement of market conditions in the
United States of America which in the opinion of AIT make n
ecessary the request for consultations. The statement shall
include data similar to that contemplated in paragraphs 1 a-
nd 2 of Annex A of the Multi Fiber Arrangement.
(e) Upon receipt of a request for such consultations, TECRO, as
requested by AIT, shall cease or otherwise limit further is-
suance of ECs for a period of seven U.S. working days. AIT
may request TECRO to extend that period of seven U.S. worki-
ng days and may also request Taiwan to limit the issuance of
ECs to a level different from that specified in paragraph 7(
f)(i) or (ii) below, whichever is applicable. TECRO shall c-
onsider any such request sympathetically and shall respond
promptly. Unless agreed otherwise, the TECRO shall have the
right, following the expiration of the period of seven U.S.
working days mentioned above or any agreed extension thereof
, to resume the issuance of ECs up to the level specified in
paragraph 7(f)(i) or (ii) below, whichever is applicable. E-
Cs thus issued, as well as ECs issued prior to receipt of t-
he request for consultations, may be honored by the issuance
of export licenses by the TECRO.
The two parties, unless otherwise agreed, shall consult as
soon as possible within 30 days of the request for such con-
sultations and shall make their best efforts to complete su-
ch consultations within 30 days of the commencement.
(f)
(i) In the event that consultations do not result in agreement
, AIT shall have the right to request the TECRO to limit
exports of the relevant products during the agreement year
in which the request for consultations is made to a level
not less than the highest of:
(A) The level of trade in the relevant product, category or
part-category for the immediately preceding agreement y-
ear plus either 15 percent of that level (in the case of
cotton, man-made fiber, silk blend and other non-cotton
vegetable fiber products) or 6 percent of that level (in
the case of wool products).
(B) The average of the level of trade for those categories
not listed in paragraph 7(f)(i)(c) which are not affect-
ed by conversion to the HCC in the relevant product, ca-
tegory or part-category for all previous years since Ja-
nuary 1, 1981 (January 1, 1987, in the case of silk ble-
nd and other non-cotton vegetable fibers) plus either 15
percent of that average level (in the case of cotton, m-
an-made fiber, silk blend and other non-cotton vegetable
fiber products), or 6 percent of that average level (in
the case of wool products), or
(C) The average of the level of trade for the 200 category
series and other categories affected by conversion to t-
he HCC, in the relevant product, category, or part-cate-
gory for all previous years since January 1, 1986 (Janu-
ary 1, 1987 in the case of silk blend and other non-cot-
ton vegetable fibers), plus either 15 percent of that a-
verage level (in the case of cotton, man-made fiber, si-
lk blend and other non-cotton vegetable fiber products),
or 6 percent of that average level (in the case of wool
pts).
(D) The limit requested by AIT for the cessation of issuance
of ECs in accordance with paragraph 7(e) hereof.
(ii) Except as provided for in sub-paragraph 7(f)(iv) below, in
respect of any product, or category or part-category where
a limit has been established for a single agreement year
and where, in the immediately subsequent agreement year,
AIT makes another request for consultations under sub-par-
agraph 7(c) of this Agreement; and, in the event that such
consultations do not result in agreement, AIT shall have
the right to request TECRO to limit exports of the releva-
nt products during the agreement year ihich the request f-
or consultations is made to a level not less than the hig-
her of:
(A) The limit established for the immediately preceding year
plus either 8 percent of that limit (in the case of cot-
ton, man-made fiber, silk blend and other non-cotton ve-
getable fiber products) or 3 percent of that limit (in
the case of wool products).
(B) The limit requested by AIT for the cessation of issuance
of ECs in accordance with subparagraph 7(e) hereof.
(iii) Where AIT makes a request under paragraph 7(f)(i) or (ii)
hereof, TECRO agrees that it will honor such a request.
(iv) In respect of any product, category or part-category for
which a limit is established in any one agreement year, e-
ither party may, prior to the start of the immediately fo-
llowing agreement year, elect to convert that limit into a
specific limit effective as such from January 1 of the im-
mediately following agreement year. Where such a conversi-
on is made, the specific limit so created shall, from the
date of effect, be accorded growth at 2.5 percent per ann-
um for cotton, man-made fiber, silk blend and other non-c-
otton vegetable fiber products, and one percent per annum
for wool products. The specific limit so created shall, f-
rom the year of effect, be accorded flexibility (as provi-
ded for in paragraph 5) at 7 percent; and in subsequent y-
ears the flexibility provisions set out in paragraph 6 of
the Agreement shall also apply. In the event a silk blend
or other vegetable fiber category under paragraph 3(d) is
converted into a specific limit, appropriate arrangements
for swing (both into and out of such category) will be ma-
de.
(v) Should two requests in respect of the same product, categ-
ory or part-category be made under paragraph 7(c) hereof
during the term of this Agreement but in different non-co-
nsecutive agreement years, the provisions of paragraph 7(f
)(i) shall apply to the second of the two requests.
(vi) The two parties agree that the provisions of paragraph 7
hereof shall not derogate from the rights of the two part-
ies under paragraph 17 of this Agreement.
(g) For the purposes of paragraph 7 hereof, the phrase ”level
of trade”shall mean the level of trade established by cons-
ultations to be held within the first six months after the
end of each agreement year or, where such consultations have
not been completed, the level of trade by date of export.
(h) TECRO and AIT shall consult as early as possible with regard
to problems that may arise if the provisions of paragraph 7
are invoked near the end of an agreement year to consider t-
he possibility of avoiding undue hardship to the trade.
8.TECRO shall administer its export control system under this A-
greement. AIT may assist TECRO in implementing the limitation
provisions of this Agreement by controlling imports of textil-
es and textile products covered by this Agreement.
Classification
9.
(a) Tops, yams, piece goods, made-up articles, garments, and ot-
her textile manufactured products, all being products which
derive their chief characteristics from their textile compo-

ton vegetable fibers, or blends thereof, in which any or all
of those fibers in combination represent the chief weight of
the product, are subject to this Agreement.
(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, textile products covered
by sub-paragraph (a) above shall be classified as:
(i) man-made fiber textiles, if the product is in chief weight

ol equals or exceeds 23 percent by weight of all fibers,
in which case the product will be a wool textile; or
(B) the product is apparel, not knitted or crocheted, in wh-
ich wool equals or exceeds 36 percent by weight of all
fibers, in which case the product will be a wool textile
; or
(C) the product is a woven fabric in which wool equals or e-
xceeds 36 percent by weight of all fibers, in which case
the product will be a wool textile.
(ii) Cotton textiles, if not covered by (i) and if the product
is in chief weight of cotton, unless the product is a wov-
en fabric in which wool equals or exceeds 36 percent by w-
eight of all fibers, in which case the product will be a
wool textile.
(iii) Wool textiles, if neither of the foregoing applies, and t-
he product is in chief weight of wool.
(iv) Silk blend or non-cotton vegetable fibers textiles, if no-
ne of the foregoing applies and the product is in chief w-
eight of silk or non-cotton vegetable fibers, unless:
(A) cotton with wool and/or man-made fibers in the aggregate
equal or exceed 50 percent by weight of the component f-
ibers thereof and the cotton component equals or exceeds
the weight of each of the total wool and/or man-made fi-
ber components, in which case the product will be a cot-
ton textile.
(B) if not covered by (iv)(A) and wool exceeds 17 percent by
weight of all component fibers, in which case the produ-
ct will be considered a wool textile.
(C) if not covered by (iv)(A) or (B) and man-made fibers in
combination with cotton and/or wool in the aggregate eq-
ual or exceed 50 percent by weight of the component fib-
ers thereof and the man-made fiber component exceeds the
weight of the total wool and/or cotton component, in wh-
ich case the product will be considered a man-made fiber
textile.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, garments which contain 70 pe-
rcent or more by weight silk (unless they also contain
over 17 percent by weight wool), and products other than
garments which contain 85 percent or more by weight silk
, are not subject to this Agreement. Silk blend and non-
cotton vegetable fiber sweaters, as determined above, s-
hall be divided into ”silk blend”sweaters and ”non-c-
otton vegetable fiber”sweaters. For the purpose of this
division, sweaters shall be classified as ”silk blend”
if the silk component exceeds by weight the non-cotton
vegetable fiber component (if any). Sweaters not classi-
fied as ”silk blend”sweaters in accordance with the f-
oregoing shall be classified as ”non-cotton vegetable
fiber”sweaters. Garments containing 70 percent or more
by weight silk and over 17 percent by weight wool shall
be classified as wool textiles, under subparagraph (b)(i
v)(B).
(d) Coverage under this paragraph is intended to be identic-
al with the terms of Article 12 of the Arrangement rega-
rding International Trade in Textiles and in conformance
with paragraph 24 of the July 31, 1986, Protocol of Ext-
ension. In the event of a question regarding whether a
product is covered by this Agreement by virtue of being
chief weight of cotton, wool, man-made fiber, silk blend
or non-cotton vegetable fiber, the chief value of the f-
ibers may be considered.

Implementation and Administration
11.
(a) Changes in the implementation and interpretation of this Ag-
reement (such as changes in practices, rules, procedures, c-
ategorization, etc.) which have the effect of upsetting the
balance of rights and obligations between the parties, or w-
hich affect the economic content of this Agreement, or whi-
ch affect the ability of either party to use or benefit ful-
ly from this Agreement, or which result in any disruption to
trade shall normally be avoided. The party initiating the r-
elevant change shall endeavor to consult prior to the time
that such action may affect trade between Taiwan and the Un-
ited States of America with a view toward making appropriate
adjustments to this Agreement. Should consultation prior to
implementation not be feasible, both parties agree to consu-
lt at the request of either party at the soonest possible d-
ate, with a view toward reaching a mutually satisfactory so-
lution within 30 days of the request.
(b) Mutually satisfactory administrative arrangements or adjust-
ments may be made to resolve minor problems arising in the
implementation of this Agreement, including differences in
points of procedure or operation.
(c) Exports from Taiwan in excess of authorized limits in any a-
greement year may be denied entry into the United States of
America. Any such shipments denied entry may be permitted e-
ntry into the United States and charged to the applicable l-
imit in the succeeding agreement year.
(d) Exports from Taiwan in excess of authorized limits in any a-
greement year will, if allowed entry into the United States
of America during that agreement year, be charged to the ap-
plicable limit in the succeeding Agreement year.
(e) AIT will notify TECRO as soon as possible of the amount of
charges involved pursuant to sub-paragraph 11 (d).
(f) Any action taken pursuant to this paragraph will not prejud-
ice the rights of either side regarding consultations.
Visa System
12.The visa and certification system established by letters dat-
ed April 30, 1997, September 3, 1997, and September 23, 1997,
will remain in force subject to paragraph 11(b).
Exchange of Information
13.
(a) The two parties recognize that the successful implementation
of this Agreement depends in large part upon mutual coopera-
tion on statistical questions. AIT shall promptly supply TE-
CRO with data on monthly imports of cotton, wool, man-made
fiber, silk blend and other non-cotton vegetable fiber text-
ile products from Taiwan. TECRO shall promptly supply AIT w-
ith pertinent data on anticipated exports in categories not
subject to specific limits and data on monthly exports of c-
otton, wool, man-made fiber, silk blend and other non-cotton
vegetable fiber textile products to the United States.
(b) Each party agrees to supply promptly any other available st-
atistical data necessary to the implementation of this Agre-
ement requested by the other party.
(c) AIT and TECRO agree to supply to the other party information
within its possession reasonably believed to be necessary to
the enforcement of this Agreement.
Spacing
14.TECRO shall use its best efforts to space exports from Taiwan
to the United States of America within each category or sub-
category (or combination of categories) evenly throughout ea-
ch agreement year, taking into consideration normal seasonal
factors.
Equity of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing
15.If, having regard to the provisions of the World Trade Organ-
ization's Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC), TECRO co-
nsiders that Taiwan is being placed in an inequitable positi-
on vis-a-vis a third party (including in relation to any mat-
ter concerning coverage under this Agreement), TECRO may req-
uest consultations with AIT with a view to taking appropriate
remedial action. AIT shall consult with TECRO in the event of
such a request.
Termination
16.This Agreement may be terminated either by mutual consent of
the two parties at any time, or by either party, effective at
the end of an agreement year, upon written notice to the oth-
er party to be given at least 180 days prior to the end of s-
uch agreement year.
Rights
17.For the duration of this Agreement, AIT shall not invoke pro-
cedures similar to that of Article 6 of the ATC to request r-
estraint on the export of cotton, wool, man-made fiber, silk
blend and other non-cotton vegetable fiber textile products
from Taiwan to the United States of America. AIT and TECRO r-
eserve their rights to request consultations with respect to
textiles and textile products not subject to this Agreement.
Cooperation in the Prevention of Circumvention
18.
(a) AIT and TECRO agree to take measures necessary to address,
to investigate and, where appropriate, to take legal and/or
administrative action to prevent circumvention of this agre-
ement such as by transshipment, rerouting, false declaration
concerning country of origin, or falsification of official
documents.
(b) Both parties agree to cooperate fully, consistent with their
domestic laws and procedures, in instances of circumvention
or alleged circumvention of the agreement, to address probl-
ems arising from circumvention and to establish the relevant
facts in the places of import, export and, where applicable,
transshipment. Such cooperation, to the extent consistent w-
ith domestic laws and procedures, will include investigation
of circumvention practices; exchange of documents, correspo-
ndence, reports and ot her relevant information to the exte-
nt available; and facilitation of plant visits and contacts
by representatives of either party, upon request and on a c-
ase-by-case basis. When either party wishes to visit certain
plants, the party seeking the plant visit or visits shall g-
ive written notice, including the reasons for such visits,
to the other party one week in advance slating the number of
plants it intends to visit and the proposed dates of the vi-
sits. The firms to be visited shall not be informed in a dv-
ance of the visit. When the visit occurs, permission from a
responsible representative of the plant shall be obtained at
the time of each visit. If permission is denied, the visit
will not go forward. Such visits will be conducted by autho-
rized personnel of both parties in accordance with domestic
laws and procedures. Upon completion of such visits, the vi-
siting party shall brief appropriate authorities of the oth-
er party on the results of such plant visits.
(c) If either party believes that this agreement is being circu-
mvented, it may request consultations to address the matter
or matters concerned with a view to seeking a mutually sati-
sfactory solution. Each party agrees to hold such consultat-
ions promptly, beginning within 30 days of a written request
by a party accompanied by an explanation and concluding wit-
hin 90 days, unless extended by mutual agreement, and to co-
operate fully in terms of the elements set out in sub-parag-
raph (b) above.
(d) Should the parties be unable to reach a satisfactory soluti-
on in the course of the consultations called for under sub-
paragraph (c), TECRO and AIT agree that in cases where clear
evidence regarding circumvention has been provided, AIT may
deduct from the quantitative limits for that agreement year
amounts at least equivalent to the amount of transshipped p-
roducts of Taiwan origin. In addition, TECRO and AIT agree
that deductions from the quantitative limits established un-
der this agreement may be made in those instances in which:
i) AIT has provided factual information demonstrating a sub-
stantial likelihood that circumvention has occurred, and ii)
AIT has requested from TECRO cooperation or information rel-
evant to the possible circumvention that is of a type that
is available to or could reasonably be obtained by TECRO, a-
nd iii) TECRO has not provided such information or cooperat-
ion without adequate reason within the period for consultat-
ion outlined in sub-paragraph (c). If, after deductions have
been made, evidence is developed that clearly establishes t-
hat the deductions were in error because the goods in quest-
ion were in fact not of Taiwan origin, and there is clear e-
vidence demonstrating the true country of origin, then AIT
shall restore Taiwan's quantitative restraints equivalent to
the amount deducted under this provision immediately after
the authorities represented by AIT charge the goods to the
true country of origin.
(e) Should AIT choose to exercise its rights under sub-paragraph
(d) to deduct an amount or amounts from the quantitative l-
imits of a country where more than two instances of circumv-
ention have been demonstrated within the current or immedia-
tely preceding agreement year, and AIT possesses clear evid-
ence, then, beginning with the third instance, AIT may dedu-
ct from the quantitative limit amounts up to three times the
amounts transshipped, provided that such deductions are dis-
tributed equally in each of the three following years.
(f) Where there is clear evidence showing that goods originating
in another country have been shipped through Taiwan to the
United States as though they were products of Taiwan, then
TECRO and AIT agree to take appropriate action. Such action
may include the introduction of restraints in the relevant
category or categories or deducting the amount of goods so
shipped from the quantitative limits established for the cu-
rrent agreement year under this agreement for shipments ori-
ginating in Taiwan. Any such actions, together with their t-
iming and scope, may be taken after consultation held with
aview of arriving at a mutually satisfactory solution. Such
consultations should be held promptly, beginning within 30
days of a written request by a party accompanied by an expl-
anation and concluding within 90 days, unless extended by m-
utual agreement. Should the parties be unable to reach a sa-
tisfactory solution, then TECRO and AIT agree that in cases
where clear evidence regarding circumvention has been provi-
ded, the United States may introduce a restraint or, where a
restraint already exists, may deduct from the quantitative
limits established under this agreement for that agreement
year an amount equivalent to the amount of product transshi-
pped through Taiwan. As soon as TECRO has sufficiently esta-
blished to AIT that the goods in question have not been tra-
nsshipped through the territory represented by TECRO, then i
) AIT shall immediately remove any restraint imposed pursua-
nt to this provision, or ii) AIT shall immediately restore
Taiwan's quantitative restraints in an amount equivalent to
the amount deducted pursuant to this provision, after the a-
uthorities represented by AIT have charged the goods to the
true country of origin. No deductions to Taiwan's quantitat-
ive limits will apply to each particular instance of circum-
vention if TECRO has provided AIT with clear evidence or in-
telligence of circumvention sufficient to allow AIT to deny
entry to the particular circumventing goods prior to their
entry into the customs territory represented by AIT. In such
instances, the parties agree that the preferred course would
be for TECRO to inform AIT that any visa issued on such shi-
pment is invalid.
(g) AIT notes that some cases of circumvention may involve ship-
ments transitting through the territory represented by TECRO
with no changes or alterations made to the goods contained
in such shipments in the territory represented by TECRO. AIT
also notes that it may not be generally practicable for TEC-
RO to exercise control over such shipments.
(h) Parties agree that false declaration concerning fiber conte-
nt, quantities, description or classifications of merchandi-
se also frustrates the objective of this agreement. Where t-
here is evidence that any such false declaration has been m-
ade for purposes of circumvention, both parties agree to ta-
ke appropriate measures, consistent with their domestic laws
and procedures, against exporters or importers involved. Sh-
ould either party believe that this agreement is being circ-
umvented by such false decla ration and that no, or inadequ-
ate, administrative measures are being applied to address a-
nd/or to take action against such circumvention, that party
should consult promptly with the party involved with a view
to seeking a mutually satisfactory solution. Such consultat-
ions should beheld promptly, beginning within 30 days of a
written request by a party accompanied by an explanation and
concluding within 90 days, unless extended by mutual agreem-
ent. Should the parties be unable to reach a satisfactory s-
olution, then TECRO and AIT agree that in cases where clear
evidence regarding such false declarations has been provided
, AIT may deduct from the quantitative limits established f-
or the current agreement year an amount equivalent to the a-
mount of product subject to the false declaration or classi-
fication. This provision is not intended to prevent parties
from making technical adjustments when inadvertent errors in
declarations have been made.
(i) Any action taken under this paragraph shall be notified to
the Textiles Monitoring Body after the territory represented
by TECRO joins the World Trade Organization.
Other Consultation Provisions
19.In addition to the consultation provisions elsewhere in this
Agreement, TECRO and AIT agree to consult, at the request of
either party, on any question arising in the application of
this Agreement.
