Agenda
With the sunset of the traditional subcommittees and working groups
after the September public meeting, a change in structure for the
Committee was expected. However, close to the onset of the new fiscal
year, the ability for the Committee to meet was affected by the lapse
in funding of the Federal Government. While U.S. Customs and Border
Protection was able to continue to work, the members of the Committee
had no engagement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection during that
time. Despite that, the Committee has been able to generate
conversation for communications on new and existing Section 232 tariffs
and the importance of the definitions for determining dates that affect
all modes of transportation from import through to export. The
Committee believes that recommendations could be possible for the
January Committee meeting relating to Section 232 tariff
implementation, but more conversation will be needed with U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to articulate the focus for meetings beyond this
quarter.
