CBP Issues Harmonized System Update, Says GSP Proclamation Update Coming
CBP said it created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1704 on June 28, containing 2,564 Automated Broker Interface records and 463 harmonized tariff records (here). CBP also said it is expecting a now unsigned presidential proclamation with changes to the Generalized System of Preferences to take effect July 1, but "we are unable to make the necessary modifications until the proclamation is official." The proclamation is unsigned "due to recent differences between the draft documentation and the final legislation," CBP said. The agency will update the system once the proclamation becomes official, it said. The White House issued a proclamation (here) after CBP sent out the CSMS message.
