Event Description: As a result of the World Customs Organization’s recently proposed changes to the international Harmonized System, the U.S. is set to implement sweeping changes to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The updated Harmonized Tariff, which took effect on February 3, 2007, will see amendments to 83 of its 97 chapters and 240 headings. The chapters most affected by these changes are those dealing with industrial and technology-related products.
