EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order.)

This Order remits customs duties on certain peaches and cherries imported by Kraft Canada Inc. Canadian food processing companies occasionally experience shortages in supply of domestically grown fruits and vegetables due primarily to weather-related occurrences. In these cases, the government has routinely remitted customs duties on horticultural products imported for further processing when supported by Canadian growers. The remission of duties offsets the additional costs of importing and assists processors in maintaining market share and production capacity in times of domestic shortages.
