CBP Updates Tariff Treatment for UK Patented Pharmaceuticals
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued new guidance implementing a reduction in tariffs on patented pharmaceuticals and associated pharmaceutical ingredients originating from the United Kingdom. The tariff rate for qualifying products was reduced from 10% to 0%.
The new guidance applies to qualifying patented pharmaceutical articles and associated pharmaceutical ingredients from the UK entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 31, 2026. Importers, customs brokers, and filers should use HTSUS 9903.04.63 when applicable to eligible UK-origin patented pharmaceutical products.
