Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which comes into force on 3rd July 1987, amends the Customs Duties (ECSC) (No. 2) Order 1985 (“the main Order”) which charges customs duties in accordance with the unified ECSC tariff on certain ECSC products imported into the United Kingdom except from other Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and from certain other countries named in Schedule 1 to the main Order.

This Order reimposes duties on goods falling within heading 73.13 which originate in Yugoslavia.

This Order implements a reintroduction of duty up to the end of 1987 made pursuant to Article 1, paragraph 3 of a decision 86/642/ECSC of the representatives of the governments of Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community meeting within the Council on 22nd December 1986 (OJ No. L380, 31.12.1986, p.59). Decision 86/642/ECSC of 22nd December 1986 established ceilings for imports of certain ECSC goods originating in Yugoslavia. These ceilings have now been reached on goods falling within the above heading.
