“ By Proclamation 4768 of June 28, 1980, the President modified the TSUS by adding numerous provisions to schedule 4 thereof for "products provided for in the Chemical Appendix to the Tariff Schedules" and by adding a Chemical Appendix to the TSUS. This action was taken under the authority of section 503 (a) (1) of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (93 Stat. 251) . The Chemical Appendix lists chemicals and products which the President has determined were imported into the United States before January 1, 1978, or were produced in the United States before May 1, 1978. ”

“ The remaining modifications made by paragraphs (1) , (2) , (3) , and (4) hereof shall be effective as to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the third day following publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of Feb., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixth. ”

“ These import fees were imposed under the authority of section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended (7 U.S.C. 624) , and were made effective as of December 24, 1981. A technical error was made in incorporating these import fees in the TSUS, in that the measure of assessment was incomplete. ”
