The International Trade Commission posted the 2024 Basic Edition of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The new HTS implements the restoration of AGOA benefits for Mauritania and their removal for the Central African Republic, Gabon, Niger and Uganda, as well as a lengthy list of 10-digit-level changes for fruits and vegetables, chemicals, medicaments and recycled aluminum. Changes were effective as of Jan. 1 unless otherwise noted.
US Export Controls
U.S. export controls include those imposed on dual-use goods under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), as well as controls on exports of defense articles and services by the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) under the International and Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The control lists administered by these agencies are the Commerce Control List (CCL) and the U.S. Munitions List (USML), respectively.
