What did CBP announce?
CBP announced that Harmonized System Update (HSU) 2603, created on February 10, 2026, added 140 harmonized tariff records and 530 ABI records. The update included changes for AGOA, the Haiti HOPE and HELP programs, additional duties on imports from India, and other HTS corrections from the 2026 tariff schedule verification. CBP referred filers to a related message for entry filing guidance on the India duties.
What is Allied's position?
This was a system level update to the tariff tables used for filing entries covering AGOA, Haiti trade programs, and additional duties on India origin goods in effect at that time. Later CSMS messages, including the change in IEEPA duty treatment after the Supreme Court ruling, may have altered how these duties apply now. Clients with entries affected by AGOA, HOPE, HELP, or India duty provisions from this period should ask us to review those specific entries.
