Harmonized System Update (HSU) 0904 was created on December 10, 2009 and contains 40,159 ABI records and 6,479 harmonized tariff records.
This update includes the annual special program staged rate reductions for 2010.
In addition, this update contains changes made as a result of the Committee for Statistical Annotation of Tariff Schedules, the 484(F) Committee. The revisions take effect on January 1, 2010, and include a request by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) to report milk solids content of dairy products in the kilogram unit of measure. Dairy related tariff numbers, which are subject to the reporting of milk solids content of dairy products, will have a second reporting unit of measure indicating ‘CKG’ (Content in Kilograms). The ‘CKG’ indication refers to the weight in kilograms associated with the milk solids content.
Potato import assessment increases mandated by the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) are included as well. These adjustments were effective on December 7, 2009.
Finally, this update contains changes required by the verification of the 2009 Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS).
The modified records are currently available to all ABI participants and can be retrieved electronically via the procedures indicated in the CATAIR.
