Importers must cease free imports of these items and ensure compliance with any licensing or authorization requirements mandated for restricted goods until June 30, 2026.
**Customs and Regulatory Authorities**
**Impact**
These bodies are responsible for enforcing the immediate shift from "Free" to "Restricted" import status for the identified ITC (HS) codes.
**Action Required**
Authorities must update their import clearance protocols and systems to reflect the restricted status of codes 71131144 and 71131145 to ensure the notification is implemented at all ports of entry.
