ITC Posts 2026 Harmonized Tariff Schedule Revisions; Changes Took Effect Feb. 1
The International Trade Commission posted the 2026 edition of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, implementing a variety of changes at the 10-digit level affecting fruits and vegetables, medicines and other products. The changes come as Revision 2 to the 2026 HTS, with the tariff changes that normally take effect at the beginning of the year delayed due to the federal shutdown in October and November of 2025. Changes were effective as of Feb. 1 unless otherwise noted.
