October 1, 2021 |Customs

CBP created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 2109 on Sept. 29, containing 477 Automated Broker Interface records and 99 Harmonized Tariff Schedule records, it said in a CSMS message. The update reflects the extended exclusion from Section 301 tariffs on China of headings that cover goods used in treating COVID-19 (see 2109270044). Those headings -- 9903.88.62, 9903.88.63, 9903.88.64 and 9903.88.65 -- will now expire Nov. 14. CBP also issued a guidance on the subject.
