Effective on January 27, 1999, a new export visa stamp will be required for shipments of textile products, produced or manufactured in Maldives and exported from Maldives on or after December 10, 1998. The new stamp reflects the name change of ``CUSTOMS MALDIVES'' to ``MALDIVES CUSTOMS SERVICE'' but is otherwise unchanged. There will be a grace period from December 10, 1998 through February 28, 1999, during which products exported from Maldives may be accompanied by either the old or new export visa stamp. Products exported from Maldives on or after March 1, 1999 must be accompanied by the new export visa stamp.
