handle is hein.usfed/cusbul0150 and id is 1 raw text is: U.S. Customs and Border Protection REVISED UNITED STATES - ISRAEL FREE TRADE AGREEMENT (ILFTA) CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN REQUIREMENTS AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security. ACTION: General notice. SUMMARY: This document informs the public that the existing certificate of origin requirements are being phased out under the United States - Israel Free Trade Agreement (ILFTA). EFFECTIVE DATE: June 30, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Monika R. Brenner, Chief, Valuation & Special Programs Branch: (202) 325-0038. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BACKGROUND The United States - Israel Free Trade Agreement (ILFTA) con- tained a certificate of origin requirement, set forth in paragraph 9 of Annex 3 (commonly referred to as the Form A or green form), in order to comply with the country of origin requirements of the Agree- ment. On May 10, 2017, the Governments of Israel and the United States amended the ILFTA to eliminate the certificate of origin re- quirement in favor of an invoice declaration. This simplification was effective January 10, 2018 and is tied to a June 30, 2018 phase-out date. See https://ustr.gov/trade-agreements/free-trade-agreements/ israel-fta/joint-committee-executive-decision. Therefore, for exportations from the United States, during the certificate of origin phase-out period (January 10, 2018 to June 30, 2018), U.S. exporters to Israel will be able to submit either the certificate or an invoice declaration. Following June 30, 2018, Israel will only accept invoice declarations. Further instructions are avail- able from the Department of Commerce.
