What did CBP announce?
CBP's National Commodity Specialist Division announced a series of commodity-specific webinars running from May through September 2026, themed on innovation and emerging technology. The message listed the June 2026 schedule, covering topics such as machining centers, watercraft, chemicals, valves, artificial intelligence, printers, conveyors, and textiles.

What is Allied's position?
This message concerns CBP educational webinars for trade stakeholders and does not change any entry or classification requirement. It does not affect the entries we file for clients. Clients do not need to act, though they are welcome to register directly with CBP if they want classification guidance on these topics.
