Review and Revision of Rules of Origin. 1. On request of a Party, the Parties shall consult to consider whether particular goods should be subject to different rules of origin to address issues of availability of supply of fibers, yarns, or fabrics in the territories of the Parties. 2. In the consultations, each Party shall consider the data presented by a Party showing substantial production in its territory of the particular good. The consulting Parties shall consider that substantial production has been shown if that Party demonstrates that its domestic producers are capable of supplying commercial quantities of the good in a timely manner. With a view to concluding consultations without delay, the Parties shall endeavor to make an initial assessment of the evidence available regarding whether the fiber, yarn, or fabric is commercially available in the territories of the Parties promptly and to the extent possible within 90 days. 3. If, based on the initial assessment, the Parties agree that the fiber, yarn, or fabric is not commercially available, the Parties shall endeavor to reach agreement promptly on a corresponding proposed product-specific rule change and, as appropriate, proceed with their respective domestic procedures for implementation. The Parties shall endeavor to conclude consultations within 60 days after the initial assessment. An agreement between the Parties shall supersede any prior rule of origin for such good when approved by each Party in accordance with any necessary legal procedures of each Party.
