COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY ORDER NUMBER 47
AMENDMENT TO COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY ORDER
NUMBER 38 (CPA/ORD/19 September 2003/38)
Pursuant to my authority as Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA)
and the laws and usages of war, and consistent with relevant U.N. Security Council
resolutions, including Resolution 1483 (2003),
Recognizing that the effective administration of Iraq requires funding for improvements
to its infrastructure and capital public investment,
Noting that the reconstruction levy was imposed under CPA Order Number 38,
Determined that the collection of said levy be undertaken efficiently and effectively
without impeding reconstruction efforts or import flow,
I hereby promulgate the following:
Section 1

Coalition Provisional Authority Order Number 38, Section
Reconstruction Levy is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"4) Unless exempted under this Order, the Reconstruction Levy shall be imposed on all
goods imported into Iraq from all countries beginning March 1, 2004."
Section 2
Entry into Force
This Order shall enter into force on the date of signature.
