WEBINAR AGENDA:
With the increased tariffs from trade wars, companies are looking for opportunities to reduce tariff liabilities on imports. The good news is that importers may file for tariff relief under the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB) process. On October 11, the International Trade Commission (ITC) will start accepting petitions that request tariff relief on specific imported products. Parties only have 60 days to file MTB petitions. The main requirement for petitions is that there cannot be US production of the product for which relief is sought. This new MTB process is the second time that the ITC has accepted petitions for tariff relief. In 2018 relief was granted to over 1,000 petitions, and SFIA helped its member obtain tariff relief on over 60 different products. Because the relief granted in 2018 expires at the end of 2020, the ITC is accepting petitions that renew the past relief provided as well as petitions seeking new relief.
