On August 13, 2020, the Office of the US Trade Representative published in the Federal Register a notice that announces the USTR’s determination to make a technical amendment to a previously granted exclusion. The amendment is retroactive to the date the original exclusion was published and does not extend the period for the original exclusion. US Customs and Border Protection will issue instructions on entry guidance and implementation.
Paragraph A of the Annex makes one technical amendment to US note 20(x)(21) to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS, as set out in the Annex of the notice published at 85 FR 7816 (February 11, 2020).
- Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. EDT on July 6, 2018: 1. US note 20(x)(21) to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the HTSUS, is modified by deleting “operating weight of 19.1 t (42,000 lbs.)” and inserting “operating weight of at least 19 t but no more than 19.2 t (at least 41,887 lbs.- but not more than 42,329 lbs.)” in lieu thereof.
