Further to Commercial Information Circular No. 463/2005 dated 10 November 2005, the US Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreement (CITA) has issued a Federal Register (FR) notice which directs US Customs to establish the 2006 quota limits and ELVIS requirements pursuant to the US/Mainland Memorandum of Understanding concerning Trade in Textile and Apparel Products (MOU). A copy of the FR notice is at
