Amendment to Cotton Research and Promotion Regulations Regarding Assessment of Imported Cotton-Containing Products

摘要

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is adopting without modification an interim final rule amending the Cotton Board Rules and Regulations to allow for the continuation of collections on renumbered imported cotton-containing products as long as no change in the product's Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) description occurs. Since renumbering of products by the U.S. Customs Service occurs rather frequently, providing for a continuation of assessment collection will prevent unnecessary and costly interruptions of the program.
