AMS Proposes Update to Assessment Table for Potato Imports

The Agricultural Marketing Service is updating its table of Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheadings and assessment rates for imported potatoes and potato products, it said in a final rule. The agency is also amending 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 is amending its regulations on approved data sources used to determine the number of Potato Board seats and expanding “payment methods used to remit assessments to include electronic submission.” The final rule takes effect May 16.
