What this bill would do

This bill aims to amend the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States regarding whiskies. It seeks to provide a uniform 8-digit subheading number for all whiskies by striking specific existing subheadings. The bill replaces them with a single subheading for whiskies that includes a duty rate. Additionally, it instructs the United States International Trade Commission to add specific statistical suffixes for various types of whiskies and container sizes. These changes would take effect 15 days after the Act is enacted.
