A new law due to go into effect on December 15 that will have far-reaching consequences for international trade and will require an enormous amount of resources for CBP to implement. The sheer scope of products that will be subject to the import declaration is extraordinary. “Plants and plant products” is defined to include such widely disparate products as furniture, wine with corks, umbrellas, boats, cars, chewing gum, rayon, books, pots and pans with wood handles, maple syrup. In fact, CBP reports that the import declaration requirement will impact 85 out of the 97 chapters in the Harmonized Tariff Schedules.
