USITC開始修改統(tǒng)一關(guān)稅表以反映協(xié)調(diào)制度的變化

美國國際貿(mào)易委員會（USITC）今天進(jìn)行了一項(xiàng)調(diào)查，將向總統(tǒng)提出建議，要求對美國統(tǒng)一關(guān)稅表（HTS）進(jìn)行必要的修改，以實(shí)施對全球統(tǒng)一制度（HS）的最新修正案。

根據(jù)法規(guī)，USITC必須向總統(tǒng)推薦對HTS的修改，以使HTS適應(yīng)對HS所做的修改。USITC正在開展這項(xiàng)調(diào)查，即《 2020年統(tǒng)一關(guān)稅時間表中的建議修改》，以考慮向總統(tǒng)提出的建議。

HS是一種國際商品命名系統(tǒng)，用于對商品的全球貿(mào)易進(jìn)行分類和監(jiān)控。美國HTS和其他155個國家/地區(qū)的分類系統(tǒng)均基于HS，并對它們進(jìn)行了修改以反映HS的任何更改。USITC負(fù)責(zé)維護(hù)美國HTS。

2019年6月28日，世界海關(guān)組織（WCO）批準(zhǔn)了HS的一攬子修訂案。

在這項(xiàng)調(diào)查中，USITC是一個獨(dú)立的，無黨派的，事實(shí)調(diào)查性的聯(lián)邦機(jī)構(gòu)，將對HTS進(jìn)行擬議的修改，以反映WCO對HS的修正，并反映WCO關(guān)于變白花生的分類意見。


USITC預(yù)計(jì)將在2020年3月發(fā)布對HTS的初步修改草案以征詢公眾意見。在公眾意見征詢期結(jié)束后，USITC將最終確定對HTS的必要修改，并于2020年10月向總統(tǒng)提交報(bào)告。

USITC BEGINS PROCESS TO MODIFY THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE TO REFLECT CHANGES TO THE HARMONIZED SYSTEM

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today instituted an investigation that will lead to recommendations to the President on necessary modifications to the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) to implement recent amendments to the global Harmonized System (HS).

By statute, the USITC is required to recommend to the President modifications to the HTS to conform the HTS to amendments made to the HS.  The USITC is instituting this investigation, Recommended Modifications in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, 2020, to consider recommendations to make to the President.

The HS is the international product naming system that is used to categorize and monitor global trade in goods.  The U.S. HTS and the classification systems of 155 other countries are based on the HS, and they are modified to reflect any changes to the HS.  The USITC is responsible for maintaining the U.S. HTS.

On June 28, 2019, the World Customs Organization (WCO) approved a package of amendments to the HS.

In this investigation, the USITC, an independent, nonpartisan, factfinding federal agency, will develop proposed modifications to the HTS to reflect the WCO’s amendments to the HS and to reflect a WCO classification opinion regarding blanched peanuts.

The USITC expects to issue preliminary draft modifications to the HTS for public comment in March 2020. Following the public comment period, the USITC will finalize the necessary modifications to the HTS and submit a report to the President in October 2020.
