Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1708 was created on December 20, 2017 and contains 33,859 ABI records and 6,591 harmonized tariff records.
Changes include the annual special program staged rate reductions mandated by the individual Free Trade
Agreements.
This update also contains modifications mandated by the 484 F Committee, the Committee for Statistical
Annotation of Tariff Schedules. These adjustments are effective on January 1, 2018,and will be published within the change record, and chapters, of the 2018 USHTS. However, until they are available, please
contact your assigned client representative for assistance with discontinued records.
We are anticipating additional legislative changes,but due to differences between the draft documentation and the final legislation, we are unable to modify our system until the proclamations are
official. Once final approval has been granted, we will begin updating our system, and when the
adjustments have been completed, we will create another HTS update and issue an associated CSMS message.
Modifications required by the verification of the 2017 Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) are included also.
The modified records are currently available to all ABI participants and can be retrieved electronically
via the procedures indicated in the CATAIR. For further information about this process, please contact
your client representative. For all other questions regarding this message, please contact Jennifer
Keeling via email at Jennifer.L.Keeling@cbp.dhs.gov.
