August 23, 2018 |Other U.S.

The International Trade Commission recently issued Revision 10 to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, implementing Section 301 tariffs on a second set of goods from China effective Aug. 23, and making related changes that also affect the first tranche. New subheading 9903.88.02 is created for the new set of goods, with goods in the first tariff list that took effect July 6 still classifiable in subheading 9903.88.01 (see 1808210031). A list of goods subject to the new tariffs is added in U.S. Note 20(d) to Subchapter II of Chapter 99, while provisions on how the tariffs are to be applied are added at U.S. Note 20(c). The list of goods subject to the first round of tariffs at U.S. Note 20(b) is modified to correct a technical error. Provisions at U.S. Note 20(a) on how those tariffs are to be applied are modified to reflect the end of a total exemption from the Section 301 tariffs on U.S. goods returned after repair or alteration, processing or assembly (see 1808160049). All changes included in Revision 10 take effect Aug. 23.
