Important MTB Tips

Question 12 requires you to estimate the value of dutiable imports in U.S. Dollars. This is the estimated value of imports, not the estimate of duties paid. New
This estimate should be for the value of imports that do not qualify for a special rate of duty under a free trade agreement or trade preference program, such as GSP or AGOA. If you are seeking to renew an existing 9902 heading, your estimates for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 should not take into account the duty suspensions and reductions currently in place, as the current temporary duty suspensions and reductions expire in December, 2020.
Current MTB duty suspensions and reductions in chapter 9902 will expire on December 31, 2020. New
In order to request an extension of any current MTB duty suspension or reduction, you must file a petition seeking to renew that 9902 heading by December 10, 2019 at 5:15 PM, ET.

This area contains resources and information for the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill (MTB) petition process being administered by the Commission in accordance with the American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act of 2016 (AMCA). The AMCA established a new process for the submission and consideration of requests for temporary duty suspensions and reductions.

The MTB Petition System began accepting petitions on October 11, 2019. The deadline to submit petitions is 5:15 PM, ET on December 10, 2019. No late submissions will be accepted.
