Add a new sentence to paragraph 1(b) to read as follows:
The term shall also apply to appliances and spare parts for such appliances as well as to materials, parts, and subassemblies (i.e., components) exported from the United States for inclusion on New Zealand-manufactured aircraft."
Add a new sentence to paragraph 1(c) to read as follows:
¿«The term shall also apply to appliances and spare parts for such appliances as well as to materials, parts, and subassemblies (i.e., components) exported from New Zealand for inclusion on U.S.- manufactured fixed wing aircraft not exceeding a maximum weight of 12,500 pounds."
Renumber paragraphs 6, 7, and 8 as 7, 8, and 9, and insert a new paragraph 6 to read as follows:
"6(a) In the case of a component which is produced in the exporting State for export and use on a product which is or may be certificated or approved in the importing State, if the authorities I TIAS 6857; 21 UST 1040.

AC 21-18 8/20/82 Appendix 1 of the exporting State certify that the component conforms to the applicable design data and meets the applicable test and quality control requirements which have been notified by the Government of the importing State to the Government of the exporting State, the Government of the importing State shall give the same validity to certification as if the certification had been made by its authorities in accordance with its applicable laws, regulations, and requirements.
(b) The foregoing subparagraph shall only apply to those components which are produced by a manufacturer in the exporting State pursuant to an agreement between that manufacturer and the product manufacturer in the importing State. Furthermore, it shall only apply in those instances where, in the judgment of the Government of the importing State, a component is of such complexity that determination of conformity and quality control cannot readily be made at the time when the component is assembled with the product."

If the foregoing is acceptable to the Government of New Zealand, it is proposed that this note together with your reply so indicating shall constitute an agreement between our two governments which shall enter into force on the date of your note in reply.
