Trade Policy Updates
On January 25, 2017, the Office of the Federal Register placed on its public inspection website two notices that delay the effective dates of two final rules from January 26, 2017, to March 21, 2017. The two final rules amend the CBP regulations relating to:
(1) the importation into the United States of certain vehicles and engines under the Clean Air Act in order to harmonize the documentation requirements applicable to different classes of vehicles and engines that are subject to the CAA’s emission standards (81 FR 94974); and
(2) the requirement to file a Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) certification when importing into the customs territory of the United States chemicals in bulk form or as part of mixtures and articles containing a chemical or mixture (81 FR 94980).
Both final rules amended the regulations to permit importers to file the required EPA documents with CBP electronically.
To comply with the White House Chief of Staff memorandum issued on January 20, 2017, CBP has issued the two documents that will be published in the Federal Register on January 27, 2017, that announce that the effective date of the Final Rules are delayed for 60 days from January 20, 2017, to March 21, 2017.
