Date: Thursday, August 7, 2008 Re:  Certificate of Conformity for Bordeaux Wines Received the attached letter from the regional head office of Customs in Bordeaux lifting the requirement to submit a certificate of conformity for Bordeaux wines to the U.S.   Please see the below translation. QUOTE Sir, Starting with July, 24th 2008 , the obligation to submit a certificate of conformity for Bordeaux wines issued by the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bordeaux (CIVB) for shipments to the USA, has been levied (removed). I should be most grateful if you will forward this information to the concerned parties located in the Bordeaux region, having international business relationship and in particular to the customs agents. Yours faithfully UNQUOTE Regards, North American Shippers Association
