The law's changes to the HTS chapter, which took effect April 24, means articles returned after repair under subheadings 9802.00.40 and 9802.00.50 can be commingled, and the origin, value and classification of such articles may be accounted for using an “inventory management” method. The new law also amends the article description for subheading 9801.00.10 so that it includes “any other products when returned within 3 years after having been exported,” and inserts a new subheading providing duty-free treatment for certain U.S. government property returned to the U.S. The modified records can be retrieved electronically via the procedures indicated in the CATAIR.
