June 12, 2008

The House Ways and Means Committee has posted a link to 800 or more duty suspension bills offered for consideration in the upcoming Miscellaneous Trade Bill of 2008. The various bills provides for duty suspension for a wide variety of products, including: footwear, sleeping bags, golf club components, chemicals, synthetic fibers, cashmere yarn, bicycle components, inflatable mattresses, hybrid vehicle parts, digital camera lenses, over-the-range microwaves, and cigars. Also included are several requests to reliquidate entries, which were previously entered at a higher duty rate.
