SUBJECT: IMMEDIATE DELIVERY PROCEDURES AT YEAR-END
DATE: 12/11/2001
THE OFFICE OF TRADE PROGRAMS IS ISSUING A BLANKET AUTHORIZATION
FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY (ID) PROCEDURES FOR MERCHANDISE TO BE
RELEASED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 17, 2001, AND UNTIL DECEMBER 31,
2001, IN ACCORDANCE WITH 19 CFR 142.21(G). THE AUTHORIZATION
IS OFFERED TO FILERS WHO MAY WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF REDUCED
TARIFF RATES OR SPECIAL PROGRAMS WHICH TAKE EFFECT ON OR AFTER
JANUARY 1, 2002.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BLANKET AUTHORIZATION DOES NOT APPLY TO
ABSOLUTE QUOTA MERCHANDISE AND MERCHANDISE MOVED UNDER AN
IMMEDIATE TRANSPORTATION ENTRY (TYPE 61). TARIFF RATE QUOTA
MERCHANDISE PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED FOR ID RELEASE UNDER 19 CFR
142.21(E) MAY STILL BE RELEASED UNDER ID; HOWEVER, THE ENTRY
SUMMARY SHALL BE PRESENTED WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED IN 19 CFR
142.23, OR WITHIN THE QUOTA PERIOD, WHICHEVER EXPIRES FIRST.
IN THOSE INSTANCES WHERE THE CF 3461/CF 3461(ALT) IS USED AS THE
ENTRY DOCUMENT AND IMPORTERS WISH TO ELECT ID, A LINE MUST BE
DRAWN THROUGH THE WORD "ENTRY" ON THE DOCUMENT. THIS WILL
IDENTIFY THE CHANGE FROM "ENTRY" TO "IMMEDIATE DELIVERY" AND
WILL ALLOW FILERS TO ELECT A DATE OF ENTRY IN ORDER TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF TARIFF CHANGES OR SPECIAL PROGRAMS. UNDER ID
PROCEDURES, THE ENTRY/ENTRY SUMMARY MUST BE FILED WITHIN 10
WORKING DAYS AFTER RELEASE. THIS BLANKET AUTHORITY EXTENDS TO
SHIPMENTS RELEASED DECEMBER 15, 2001 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2001
ONLY.
ABI FILERS WHO RECEIVE A "PAPERLESS" PROVISIONAL SELECTIVITY
MESSAGE CAN ESTABLISH THEIR DESIRED ENTRY DATE BY USING THE
ESTIMATED ENTRY DATE FIELD IN THE SUMMARY TRANSMISSION ("EI"
TRANSMISSION). PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THIS DATE DOES NOT SHOW A
2002 DATE, THEN THE 2001 DUTY RATES WILL BE APPLICABLE.
NO GRACE PERIOD WILL BE GRANTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF TIMELY FILING
ID ENTRY SUMMARIES UNDER THIS ONE TIME ALLOWANCE.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS POLICY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO BRUCE
INGALLS, CHIEF, ENTRY AND DRAWBACK MANAGEMENT AT (202) 927-1082,
BYRON KISSANE AT (202) 927-2148 OR DEBBIE SCOTT AT (202) 927-1962.
