USITC开始修改统一关税表以反映协调制度的变化

美国国际贸易委员会（USITC）今天进行了一项调查，将向总统提出建议，要求对美国统一关税表（HTS）进行必要的修改，以实施对全球统一制度（HS）的最新修正案。

根据法规，USITC必须向总统推荐对HTS的修改，以使HTS适应对HS所做的修改。USITC正在开展这项调查，即《 2020年统一关税时间表中的建议修改》，以考虑向总统提出的建议。

HS是一种国际商品命名系统，用于对商品的全球贸易进行分类和监控。美国HTS和其他155个国家/地区的分类系统均基于HS，并对它们进行了修改以反映HS的任何更改。USITC负责维护美国HTS。

2019年6月28日，世界海关组织（WCO）批准了HS的一揽子修订案。

在这项调查中，USITC是一个独立的，无党派的，事实调查性的联邦机构，将对HTS进行拟议的修改，以反映WCO对HS的修正，并反映WCO关于变白花生的分类意见。


USITC预计将在2020年3月发布对HTS的初步修改草案以征询公众意见。在公众意见征询期结束后，USITC将最终确定对HTS的必要修改，并于2020年10月向总统提交报告。

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.
