CBP Issues Guidance on Tariff Changes for Infant Formula Imports

CBP provided some guidance for how importers of infant formula can make use of the temporary suspension of tariffs on baby formula (see 2207220069). CBP "will provide duty-free treatment of the eligible infant formula products entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption from July 22, 2022 through December 31, 2022," it said. "Duty-free treatment is limited to certain infant formula products classified under the designated United States Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers. The eligible infant formula products will not be subject to any additional safeguard duties that may be imposed under subchapter IV of Chapter 99 of the HTS, or any other import quotas, tariff-rate quotas, additional duties, or any other duties, fees, exactions, or charges that otherwise would apply to such articles." Filers must "classify the infant formula products with the correct Chapter 19 or Chapter 21 HTS number, along with the corresponding Chapter 99 HTS number," it said.
