ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Trade Representative is making technical corrections 
to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), as set 
forth in the Annex to this notice.

DATES: The changes made by this notice are applicable as of July 1,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proclamation 10053 of June 29, 2020 (85 FR 
39821) implemented the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA or 
Agreement). Annexes I and II to Proclamation 10053 made modifications 
to the HTSUS in order to implement the tariff treatment provided under 
the Agreement, including the tariff treatment provided for certain 
textile and apparel goods (see Annex II to Proclamation 10053 at

provisions of the HTSUS that were added by Proclamation 10053 to 
correct inadvertent errors to provide the intended tariff treatment.

modifications in the HTSUS. Pursuant to this delegated authority, the 
U.S. Trade Representative is modifying the HTSUS to make the technical 
changes set out in the Annex to this notice.
