Bill > HR3028

This bill aims to clarify and standardize the tariff classification and treatment of whiskies in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. Specifically, it replaces the existing subheading 2208.30 with a new subheading that sets a uniform duty-free status with a $2.04 per proof liter fee. The United States International Trade Commission is instructed to add detailed statistical suffixes to this subheading, creating eight specific categories that distinguish between different types of whisky (Irish, Scotch, Bourbon, Rye, and Others) and their container sizes (those holding 4 liters or less, and those holding over 4 liters). This provides more granular classification for imported whiskies, which can help with trade tracking and potentially simplify customs processes. The changes will take effect 15 days after the Act's enactment, applying to all whisky entries or withdrawals from warehouse for consumption after that date.
