The Agricultural Marketing Service AMS is amending the Cotton Board Rules and Regulations decreasing the value assigned to imported cotton for the purposes of calculating supplemental assessments collected for use by the Cotton Research and Promotion Program. This amendment is required each year to ensure that assessments collected on imported cotton and the cotton content of imported products will be the same as those paid on domestically produced cotton. In addition AMS is updating the Import Assessment Table to account for changes since the last assessment adjustment in 2023.
