While the current United States Government shutdown continues, imports are still processed. We are, however, faced with several issues.
In an effort to keep our clients abreast of the situation, we have noted a few of the issues impacting U.S. Imports below:
- The International Trade Commission (ITC) is furloughed and therefore updates to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule on its website won’t be updated until they return.
- Section 301 exclusion implementation has been put on hold until after U.S Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) returns from furlough.
