Duty Drawback Clarification Act

This bill makes all types of whiskey use the same 8‑digit customs code when they are imported into the United States. It tells the U.S. International Trade Commission to add extra digits (statistical suffixes) under that code so different kinds of whiskey can still be tracked. This is meant to make duty rates and refunds more consistent and easier to apply across all whiskies.

The change takes effect 15 days after the bill becomes law and applies to whiskey that enters the country or is taken out of a bonded warehouse for sale after that date.

• Who is affected: importers, exporters, distillers, and customs brokers handling whiskey shipments.
• What changes: one uniform 8‑digit tariff code for all whiskies, with added suffixes for specific types; more consistent duty treatment and clearer rules for refunds.
• When: starts 15 days after it becomes law, for entries or withdrawals for consumption on or after that date.
