This document amends the Customs Regulations, on an interim basis, in order to implement a change made by the Trade and Development Act of 2000 to the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, also known as the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), that enables certain liqueurs and spirituous beverages to obtain duty-free entry under specified conditions when the beverages are processed in the territory of Canada from rum that is the growth, product or manufacture either of a CBI beneficiary country or of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The interim regulations set forth the certification and supporting documentation requirements that are necessary to establish compliance with the statutory law, thereby ensuring that the rum beverages are properly entitled to duty-free entry under the CBI.
