A bill to amend the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States to provide a uniform 8-digit subheading number for all whiskies.

This bill aims to streamline the classification of whiskies within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) by establishing a single, uniform 8-digit subheading. It achieves this by striking existing subheadings 2208.30, 2208.30.30, and 2208.30.60, and replacing them with a new, consolidated entry: 2208.30.00 for "Whiskies" . While simplifying the primary tariff code, the legislation also mandates the United States International Trade Commission to add detailed statistical suffixes under this new subheading. These suffixes will allow for continued granular tracking of different whisky types, such as Irish, Scotch, Bourbon, and Rye, as well as distinguishing between container sizes. The changes will take effect 15 days after the bill's enactment, facilitating more efficient customs processing while preserving essential trade data.
