## Abstract

This document adopts as a final rule, with minor revisions, the interim rule amending the Customs Regulations that was published in the Federal Register on February 9, 2001, as T.D. 01-17. The interim rule implemented a change to the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, also known as the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), that enabled certain beverages to obtain duty-free entry under specified conditions when the beverages were processed in the territory of Canada from rum that was the growth, product or manufacture either of a CBI beneficiary country or of the U.S. Virgin Islands. This final rule adopts the certification and supporting documentation requirements set forth in the interim rule that were necessary to establish compliance with the statutory law, thereby ensuring that the rum beverages were properly entitled to duty-free entry under the CBI.
