CBP Announces Grace Period for Implementation of 2007 Changes to HTS
To facilitate the need for an easier transition to the World Customs Organization (WCO) 2007 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. (HTSUS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced a 17 day grace period to U.S. importers to assist in the HTSUS conversion.
The 17 day grace period, which will begin on February 3, 2007 and ends on the close of business on February 20, 2007, pertains to:
- Entries rejected by an Import Specialist or Entry Specialist either manually or electronically by RLF and returned to the filers for classification correction; and
- Post-entry classification corrections.
The 2007 version of the HTSUS that will go into effect on February 3, 2007 can be found at the following link: www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/index.htm.
