SUBJECT: WTO INTEGRATION ENTRIES NOW ELIGIBLE FOR ABI
BACKGROUND:
ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 02-0065, ISSUED ON JANUARY 14, 2002, DESCRIBED
A PROBLEM IN ABI PROGRAMMING REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION OF ENTRY
SUMMARIES THAT COMBINED CARGO SUBJECT TO CURRENT QUOTA REQUIREMENTS
WITH CARGO ELIGIBLE FOR NON-VISA REPORTING AS A RESULT OF THE LATEST
STAGE OF THE WTO INTEGRATION (SEE ADMIN MESSAGE 01-1427).
ABI PROGRAMMING HAS NOW BEEN CORRECTED TO CONFORM TO THE WTO
INTEGRATION REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN ADMIN MESSAGE 01-1427. FILERS
MAY TRANSMIT ENTRY SUMMARIES FOR THESE SHIPMENTS WITH THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS:
1) IF THE ENTIRE SHIPMENT CONSISTS OF CARGO THAT NO LONGER
REQUIRES A VISA, AS A RESULT OF THE LATEST WTO INTEGRATION
PROGRAM OR AS A RESULT OF PRIOR WTO INTEGRATION PROGRAMS,
SUCH ENTRIES MAY BE TRANSMITTED USING ENTRY TYPE 01.
NO CATEGORY OR VISA INFORMATION IS REQUIRED.
(FOR SOFTWARE VENDORS AND/OR SELF-PROGRAMMED FILERS, THIS
MEANS THAT NO 51 RECORD WILL BE NEEDED ON SUCH AN ENTRY
SUMMARY TRANSMISSION)
2) IF THE ENTRY CONSISTS OF SOME CARGO SUBJECT TO REGULAR
QUOTA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER CARGO ELIGIBLE
FOR NON-VISA REPORTING UNDER WTO INTEGRATION PROGRAMS,
ENTRY TYPE 02 IS REQUIRED. THE WTO-ELIGIBLE CARGO MUST
REPORT A CATEGORY NUMBER (ON THE 51 RECORD), BUT NO
VISA NUMBER OR TEXTILE EXPORT DATE IS NECESSARY. THE
QUOTA QUANTITY AND UNIT OF MEASURE (51 RECORD) IS ALSO
NOT REQUIRED.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MESSAGE MAY BE DIRECTED TO YOUR ABI
CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
