RE:          Tariff B - Unit Value

In accordance with Section 4 of Part I of Tariff B, I have caused the unit value of the Tariff to be calculated as follows:

CPI (2003) = 122.8 x 100 = 119.57
CPI (1994)    102.7

The result of the calculation is greater than 110 but less than 120; therefore, the unit value of the Tariff effective April 1, 2004 will be at 110.
