What did CBP announce?
CBP announced Harmonized System Update (HSU) 2604 on February 13, 2026, adding 27 harmonized tariff records and 143 ABI records. The update included USDA National Organic Program HTS code flag changes and Argentina Beef Quota HTS updates. CBP referred questions on the flag changes and the quota updates to separate CBP contacts.
What is Allied's position?
This update changed how CBP's system flagged organic program and Argentina beef quota HTS codes as of February 2026. Later CSMS messages may have modified these flags further, so we cannot confirm they still apply without checking current guidance. Clients importing organic products or Argentina beef should ask us to review their entries for the current classification rules.
