Scope Determination Regarding the Effect on Foreign-Trade Zone Board Orders Resulting From Modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

Pursuant to section 400.32 (c) of the FTZ Board regulations (15 CFR part 400), it has been determined that the scope of FTZ Board Orders will not be affected by the January 2002 modification of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). As proposed, on January 1, 2002, modifications will take effect that will change the HTSUS classification numbers for certain product categories. Some Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) Board Orders, particularly orders relating to oil refinery subzones, contain references to HTSUS numbers. Such references were intended to describe types of products that were either included in or excluded from the scope of Board actions. The scope of FTZ Board Orders will continue to apply to those products as described in the orders and related appendices, even though the HTSUS number describing the product may change. The scope of FTZ Board Orders should be interpreted as applying to the new HTSUS numbers based on the cross reference table published in the International Trade Commission's (ITC) report, "Proposed Modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States" (USITC Publication 3430, June 2001).
