PURSUANT TO CONSULTATIONS WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE, THE

REQUIRED THAT ENTRIES OF SUBJECT MERCHANDISE BE ACCOMPANIED BY
AN EXPORT LICENSE CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN (EXPORT LICENSE) WHICH
HAD BEEN STAMPED, SIGNED, AND DATED BY THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN
ECONOMIC RELATIONS AND TRADE OF UKRAINE AND ISSUED NO EARLIER
THAN NINETY DAYS BEFORE THE DAY ON WHICH THE MERCHANDISE WAS
ACCEPTED BY A TRANSPORTATION COMPANY.


EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE SHALL
REQUIRE THAT EACH SHIPMENT OF SUBJECT MERCHANDISE BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A CERTIFIED COPY OF AN EXPORT LICENSE (AS
INDICATED ABOVE) AS WELL AS AN ORIGINAL "EXPORT CERTIFICATE
DRAWN FROM EXPORT LICENSE" (EXPORT CERTIFICATE). THE EXPORT
CERTIFICATE SHALL INCLUDE THE EXPORT LICENSE NUMBER FROM WHICH
IT IS DRAWN, THE BALANCE REMAINING ON THE RELATED EXPORT
LICENSE, AS WELL AS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: 1) QUOTA YEAR;
2) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN; 3) COUNTRY OF DESTINATION;
4) DATE OF SALE; 5) THE BALANCE REMAINING ON THE RELATED
EXPORT LICENSE; 6) QUANTITY IN METRIC TONS; 7) FOB SALES VALUE
IN USD; 8) UNIT PRICE IN USD/MT; 9) PRODUCER; 10) EXPORTER;
11) IMPORTER OF RECORD (IF KNOWN); 12) TRADING COMPANY;
13) CUSTOMER; 14) SALES ORDER NUMBER; 15) COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF
MERCHANDISE (INCLUDING THE 10-DIGIT HTS CLASSIFICATION AND THE

LADING; 17) FINAL DESTINATION (IF KNOWN); 18) NAME AND FULL
ADDRESS OF THE UKRAINIAN AUTHORITY; AND 19) CERTIFICATION BY THE

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT OF
COMMERCE WITH A MORE ACCURATE MEANS FOR TRACKING QUOTA
ALLOCATIONS AND PROVIDES FOR CLOSER MONITORING OF REMAINING
QUOTA BALANCES UNDER THE TERMS OF THE SUSPENSION AGREEMENT.
