CSMS # 62694995 - U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Organic Filing Requirement Updates
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has been conducting risk-based oversight on thousands of Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes since the Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) regulation was fully implemented in March 2024.
Based on this analysis, AMS is removing the AM7 flag from approximately 1,700 HTS codes in Chapters 53-94. These HTS codes are related to products that are not directly organic food, feed, or textile related. This flagging update is expected to begin in Production on October 18, 2024.
A CSMS will be sent when these AM7 flagging updates are completed.
