ITC Completes Tariff Schedule Changes for Removal of Ethiopia, Mali and Guinea From AGOA

The International Trade Commission completed changes to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to reflect the removal of Ethiopia, Guinea and Mali from the African Growth and Opportunity Act preferences program, a commission spokesperson said Jan. 5. The ITC hadn’t initially deleted the countries from Chapter 98 provisions in AGOA (see 2201040066), despite instructions in a recent presidential proclamation (see 2112230046). “The changes have been completed and are reflected in the change record,” the spokesperson said.
