2. (C) Econoff delivered ref demarches 5/17 to Emirates
Authority for Standardization and Metrology Deputy Director
General Dr. Rashid bin Farhad regarding the U.S. position
on the classification of Fanta beverage and certain sauces
under the Harmonized System. Dr. Rashid undertook to pass
the backgrounders to his superiors, but said that -- due to
the small volume of Fanta beverage and certain sauces
imported into the UAE -- the reclassification of such
products would have a minimal impact on local trade. We
will pass to Washington agencies any further communication
we receive from the UAEG regarding this matter.
