Section 6Sec./Art. 6

Tariffication. In lieu of quantitative restrictions, the maximum bound rates committed under the Uruguay Round Final Act shall be imposed on the agricultural products whose quantitative restrictions are repealed by this Act. The President shall issue the corresponding tariffs beginning 1996 up to year 2000: Provided, That the schedule of the initial and final applied rates shall be consistent with the country's tariff binding commitments.

In case of shortages or abnormal price increases in agricultural products, whose quantitative restrictions are lifted under this Act, the President may propose to Congress, revisions, modifications or adjustments of the Minimum Access Volume (MAV): Provided, however, That in the event Congress fails to act after fifteen (15) days from receipt of the proposal, the same shall be deemed approved.
