Harmonized System Update (HSU) 2309 was created on September 28, 2023, and contains 12981 ABI records and 2614 Harmonized Tariff Records.

HSU 2309 includes the 2023 Cotton Fee amendments. Effective October 16th, 2023, 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 2022.
