IMPORTANT NOTES TO THE READER OF THIS REPORT

A)   COVERAGE shows which product categories are controlled by the level in the Base or Notional Level column.   For example,

     1)   Categories 338 and 339 from Vietnam are covered by one level for both categories, 338/339.   There is no level covering the
          individual categories separately.  The page for each category shows the same Level Coverage and the same Level because,
          theoretically, Vietnam could ship all of the 338/339 level in either category.

     2)   Whenever an Agreement has two or more Part-Categories, all appear.

     3)   Whenever an Agreement has a single Category with a Sub-Level on a Part-Category, both appear.

     4)   Whenever an Agreement has a Merged-Level and at least one Sub-Level, both will appear.

B)   TYPE Codes:    Type     	  Description
              	    SL        	  Specific Limit
                    Consultation  Category subject to the Consultation Mechanism described in the bilateral agreement
               	    Restraint 	  The notional 12 month call level (Section 204, China textile safeguard, etc.)
		        	  and the Prorated Base limit, where applicable.              
                
C)   LEVELS covered in the Report are those which are current through the date on the cover.

D)   12 MONTH BASE AND NOTIONAL LEVELS:  The level shown in the "12 month Base or Notional Level" column is either the 12 month base level, without
     adjustment, or the unprorated 12 month notional level. The notional levels are correct to within one category unit (i.e., to within one "kilogram"
     or "dozen", etc.) due to rounding.

E)	Prorated levels shown in this report have been prorated to correspond to the time in the coverage period.  Where Prorated Base limits are shown, 
	any available flexibilities or staged entry quota levels will be calculated from those Prorated Base limits.


F)   GROWTH, SHIFT, CO, CF: The numbers in the flexibility columns are percentage adjustments allowed for the categories and base levels listed in the
     corresponding columns.  The flexibilities shown to the right of annual Growth are Swing/Shift, Carryover (CO), and Carryforward (CF).  The growth
     rates shown in this report are the growth rates used to reach the following year's limits, if applicable.       


G)   COVERAGE PERIOD shows the dates of effectiveness of the provisions shown.
