ITC Asks for Comments on Changes to HTS Chapters 3, 44 and 63
The International Trade Commission is asking for input in connection with a new investigation on changes to the tariff schedule set to take effect in 2017 and 2018 (here). The World Customs Organization recommended the amendments to chapters 3, 44 and 63 in June (see 1506230026, after omitting the changes from its general update of the Harmonized System set to take effect Jan. 1, 2017 (see 1501230025). Once adopted by the U.S., amendments to chapter 3 and 63 affecting fish and mosquito nets would take effect alongside the other HTS amendments at the beginning of 2017. Changes to chapter 44 affecting wood products are more substantial, and wouldn’t take effect until Jan. 1, 2018, said the ITC. Comments are due March 18, 2016.
