The president signed the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Friday, which included AFI’s request to reduce duties on processed artichoke products. As of December 19, the following duty results will apply:
HTS# 2001.9025 will decrease from 10.2% to 7.3%.
HTS# 2005.90.80 will decrease from 14.9% to 13.8%.
Based on typical levels of imports, this effort by AFI will result in duty savings of approximately $1 million per year.
