Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1808 was created on May 31, 2018 and contains 11,876 ABI records and 2,228 harmonized tariff records.

This update includes modifications made as a result of two Presidential Proclamations, issued May 31st, amending Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. These changes are effective on June 1, 2018.

The Presidential Proclamation on Steel may be found here:

The Presidential Proclamation on Aluminum may be found here:

In addition, on December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(Public Law 115-97), which mandated modification to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC). Regulations related to alcohol administered by TTB are included, and the ACE HTS has been updated to reflect these
changes. While we expect further guidance to be issued soon, the legislation can be found here:

In support of the PGA Message Set functionality, Participating Government Agency (PGA) indicators were
updated as well.

Finally, adjustments required by the verification of the 2018 Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) are also
included.

The modified records are currently available to all ABI participants and can be retrieved electronically
via the procedures indicated in the CATAIR. For further information about this process, please contact
your client representative. For all other questions regarding this message, please contact Jennifer
