SUBJECT: TBT-01-006-01 CANCELLATION OF TEMPORARY ENTRY
PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL QUOTA/VISA TYPE ENTRIES
FROM THE SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES
BACKGROUND:
WHEN THE U.S. CUSTOMS SERVICE WAS MAKING PROGRAMMING CHANGES TO
PREPARE FOR THE ALLOWANCE OF CLAIMS UNDER THE AFRICAN GROWTH AND
OPPORTUNITY ACT (AGOA), IT HAD COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THESE
UPDATES HAD CAUSED SOME PROBLEMS WHEN QUOTA/VISA TYPE ENTRIES
WERE MADE FOR MERCHANDISE WITH AN AFRICAN COUNTRY DECLARED AS
THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. THE NECESSARY PROGRAMMING CHANGES HAVE
BEEN MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE, QUOTA/VISA TYPE
ENTRIES WITH AN AFRICAN COUNTRY DECLARED AS THE COUNTRY OF
ORIGIN MAY BE FILED VIA ABI.
ACTION:
ALL QUOTA/VISA TYPE ENTRIES WITH A SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRY
DECLARED AS COUNTRY OF ORIGIN MAY BE FILED VIA ABI.
INFORMATION:
QUESTIONS FROM THE IMPORTING COMMUNITY REGARDING THIS ELECTRONIC
MESSAGE SHOULD BE REFERRED TO THE LOCAL CUSTOMS PORT. THE
CUSTOMS PORT OF ENTRY MAY REFER QUESTIONS THROUGH CC: MAIL TO HQ
QUOTA, OR CONTACT JOHN PIERCE AT (202) 927-5396.
