Chapters 2 and 4 remain on the tariff classification list for Import Permit Numbers. The risk identified is that imported goods could be classified under “within access commitment” tariff items within Chapter 2 (meat of bovine animals and poultry) and Chapter 4 (dairy products), without the required import permit number on the declaration.
With respect to valuation, there are two items:
- Apparel, Chapters 61 and 62
- Footwear, Chapter 64
For origin, there are also two items:
- T-Shirts, Heading 61.09
- Bedding and Drapery, Headings 63.01, 63.02 and 63.03
The next list of priorities is expected in July 2019.
