CSMS # 53839008 - Harmonized System Update (HSU) 2229 created on October 31, 2022

Harmonized System Update (HSU) 2229 was created on October 31, 2022 and contains 28696 ABI records and 4941 Harmonized Tariff Records.

HSU 2229 includes the 2022 Cotton Fee updates. Effective November 28th, 2022, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the Cotton Board Rules and Regulations, increasing the value assigned to imported cotton for the purposes of calculating supplemental assessments collected for use by the Cotton Research and Promotion Program. This amendment is required each year to ensure that assessments collected on imported cotton and the cotton content of imported products will be the same as those paid on domestically produced cotton. In addition, AMS is updating the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) statistical reporting numbers that were amended since the last assessment adjustment in 2021.

For further details regarding this change, please refer to: 87 FR 58711 - Cotton Board Rules and Regulations: Adjusting Supplemental Assessment on Imports (2022 Amendments)

Additionally, HSU 2229 also includes changes to HTS flagging. In support of the PGA Message Set, Participating Government Agency (PGA), AMS indicators were updated on two records: HTS # 0702002080 and 0702002091.
