CBP Issues Harmonized System Update With Section 232 Tariffs, TTB Excise Tax Cuts

CBP created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1808 on May 31, containing 11,876 Automated Broker Interface records and 2,228 harmonized tariff records, it said in a CSMS message. Modifications include changes related to May 31 Presidential Proclamations for tariffs on steel and aluminum (see 1805310028), CBP said. "Regulations related to alcohol administered by [the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau] are included, and the ACE HTS has been updated to reflect these changes," CBP said. CBP was waiting for TTB guidance to implement excise tax cuts for beer, wine and distilled spirits that took effect Jan. 1 (see 1801190020).
