If you have been benefiting from import duty suspensions relating to certain articles, TAKE NOTE. These temporary duty suspensions are scheduled to expire after December 31, 2020. Unless congress acts between now and then the duty suspensions will expire and revert to the normal rate of duty.
It is the consensus of trade professionals in Washington that congress is likely to fail to act in a timely manner on renewing these duty suspensions. Further, it is the consensus of trade professionals that when congress reconvenes in January issues relating to the physical health and economic well being of the American people will likely be the priority and trade-related matters are likely to be delayed. THEREFORE, our advice to clients enjoying duty suspensions is, wherever possible, to accelerate early 2021 shipments into the remaining weeks of 2020.
This recommendation is based on (1) the deep partisan divide between the Democratic majority in the House and the Republican majority in the Senate, (2) pressing COVID-19-related needs for legislative actions, which themselves may be delayed by partisanship, and (3) the sad history of congressional delays in acting on the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill, the vehicle for enacting the duty suspensions. Most recently, the failure to act in 2017 resulted in the current duty suspensions, which were intended to take effect January 1, 2018, being delayed until October 13, 2018.
Here is an UNOFFICIAL list of articles subect to expiring duty suspensions that may be of interest to readers of this blog.
