AMS Proposes Update to Assessment Table for Potato Imports

The Agricultural Marketing Service is proposing updates to its table of Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheadings and assessment rates for imported potatoes and potato products, it said in a notice. The agency is also proposing changes to its regulations on the potato promotion order “eliminating the need to amend the Plan just to update the list of relevant HTS codes.” Finally, AMS proposes changes to “approved sources of potato production data used to determine the number of Board seats” and an expansion of “payment methods used to remit assessments to include electronic submission.” Comments are due Oct. 18.
