TITLE 19 - CUSTOMS DUTIES

CHAPTER 18 - IMPLEMENTATION OF HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE

-HEAD-

Sec. 3011. Transition to Harmonized Tariff Schedule

-STATUTE-

(a) Existing executive actions

(1) The appropriate officers of the United States Government

shall take whatever actions are necessary to conform, to the

fullest extent practicable, with the tariff classification system

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule all proclamations, regulations,

rulings, notices, findings, determinations, orders,

recommendations, and other written actions that -

(A) are in effect on the day before January 1, 1989; and

(B) contain references to the tariff classification of articles

under the old Schedules.

(2) Neither the repeal of the old Schedules, nor the failure of

any officer of the United States Government to make the conforming

changes required under paragraph (1), shall affect to any extent

the validity or effect of the proclamation, regulation, ruling,

notice, finding, determination, order, recommendation, or other

action referred to in paragraph (1).

(b) Generalized System of Preferences conversion

(1) The review of the proposed conversion of the Generalized

System of Preferences program to the Convention tariff

nomenclature, initiated by the Office of the United States Trade

Representative by notice published in the Federal Register on

December 8, 1986 (at page 44,163 of volume 51 thereof), shall be

treated as satisfying the requirements of sections 2463(a) and

2464(c)(3) of this title (as in effect on July 31, 1995).

(2) In applying section 2464(c)(1) of this title (as in effect on

July 31, 1995) for calendar year 1989, the reference in such

section to July 1 shall be treated as a reference to September 1.

(1) Whenever the President determines that the conversion of an

import restriction proclaimed under section 22 of the Agricultural

Adjustment Act (7 U.S.C. 624) from part 3 of the Appendix to the

old Schedules to subchapter IV of chapter 99 of the Harmonized

Tariff Schedule results in -

(A) an article that was previously subject to the restriction

being excluded from the restriction; or

(B) an article not previously subject to the restriction being

included within the restriction;

the President may proclaim changes in subchapter IV of chapter 99

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to conform that subchapter to the

fullest extent possible to part 3 of the Appendix to the old

Schedules.

(2) Whenever the President determines that the conversion from

headnote 2 of subpart A of part 10 of schedule 1 of the old

Schedules to Additional U.S. Note 2, chapter 17, of the Harmonized

Tariff Schedule results in -

(A) an article that was previously covered by such headnote

being excluded from coverage; or

(B) an article not previously covered by such headnote being

included in coverage;

the President may proclaim changes in Additional U.S. Note 2,

chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to conform that note

to the fullest extent possible to headnote 2 of subpart A of part

10 of schedule 1 of the old Schedules.

(3) No change to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule may be proclaimed

under paragraph (1) or (2) after June 30, 1990.

(d) Certain protests and petitions under customs law

(1)(A) This chapter may not be considered to divest the courts of

jurisdiction over -

(i) any protest filed under section 1514 of this title; or

(ii) any petition by an American manufacturer, producer, or

wholesaler under section 1516 of this title;

covering articles entered before January 1, 1989.

(B) Nothing in this chapter shall affect the jurisdiction of the

courts with respect to articles entered after January 1, 1989.

(2)(A) If any protest or petition referred to in paragraph (1)(A)

is sustained in whole or in part by a final judicial decision, the

entries subject to that protest or petition and made before January

1, 1989, shall be liquidated or reliquidated, as appropriate, in

accordance with such final judicial decision under the old

Schedules.

(B) At the earliest practicable date after January 1, 1989, the

Commission shall initiate an investigation under section 1332 of

this title of those final judicial decisions referred to in

subparagraph (A) that -

(i) are published during the 2-year period beginning on

February 1, 1988; and

(ii) would have affected tariff treatment if they had been

published during the period of the conversion of the old

Schedules into the format of the Convention.

No later than September 1, 1990, the Commission shall report the

results of the investigation to the President, the Committee on

Ways and Means, and the Committee on Finance, and shall recommend

those changes to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule that the Commission

would have recommended if the final decisions concerned had been

made before the conversion into the format of the Convention

occurred.

(3) The President shall review all changes recommended by the

Commission under paragraph (2)(B) and shall, as soon as

practicable, proclaim such of those changes, if any, which he

decides are necessary or appropriate to conform such Schedule to

the final judicial decisions. Any such change shall be effective

with respect to -

(A) entries made on or after the date of such proclamation; and

(B) entries made on or after January 1, 1989, if,

notwithstanding section 1514 of this title, application for

liquidation or reliquidation thereof is made by the importer to

the customs officer concerned within 180 days after the effective

date of such proclamation.

(4) If any protest or petition referred to in paragraph (1)(A) is

not sustained in whole or in part by a final judicial decision, the

entries subject to that petition or protest and made before January

1, 1989, shall be liquidated or reliquidated, as appropriate, in

accordance with the final judicial decision under the old

Schedules.
