A bill to amend the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States to provide a uniform 8-digit subheading number for all whiskies.
This bill (S 952) creates a single uniform tariff subheading (2208.30.00) for all whiskies in the U.S. tariff schedule, replacing multiple existing subheadings. It sets a flat duty rate of $2.04 per liter for all whiskies under this new category and requires the U.S. International Trade Commission to add specific statistical suffixes to distinguish between whisky types (like Irish/Scotch, Bourbon, Rye) and container sizes. The change directly affects whisky importers and customs officials who process these goods, standardizing how whiskies are classified for duty calculation. The new system takes effect 15 days after the bill is enacted.
