ELVIS will leave China textile market Jan. 1
The U.S. Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has cancelled the Electronic Visa Information System (ELVIS) requirements for textiles produced in China and exported to the United States on or after Jan. 1.
In a Dec. 5 letter to Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Ralph Basham, Janet E. Heinzen, acting CITA chairman, said however the ELVIS requirement and quota requirements will continue to remain in effect until further notice for goods exported from China prior to Jan. 1, even if entered in 2009.
CITA said the action is consistent with the terms of the bilateral agreement on textiles and apparel signed between the U.S. and Chinese governments on Nov. 8, 2005. ' Chris Gillis
