SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 02-0703
CONCERNING REPORTING OF SETS TO ABI
BACKGROUND: ON JUNE 4, 2002, ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 02-0703 WAS
ISSUED. THIS MESSAGE OUTLINED A CHANGE IN THE METHOD OF REPORTING
SETS AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULES OF THE
UNITED STATES. THE SPECIFIC TARIFF NUMBERS INVOLVED ARE:
8205.90.0000, 8206.00.0000, 8211.10.0000, 8215.10.0000,
8215.20.0000, AND 9608.50.0000.
FOR THESE SIX TARIFF NUMBERS, ABI FILERS WERE INSTRUCTED THAT
THEY SHOULD NOT REPORT VALUE, QUANTITY, OR A UNIT OF MEASURE
FOR THE TARIFF NUMBER THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH ONE OF THE SIX
TARIFF NUMBERS LISTED ABOVE.
IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN
ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 02-0703 NEED TO BE CORRECTED IN TWO AREAS.
1. IF THE ASSOCIATED TARIFF NUMBER HAS A COMPOUND RATE OF DUTY
(I.E., DUTY BASED ON THE NUMBER OF ITEMS AND ON THE VALUE OF THE
COMMODITY OR ANY SIMILAR MULTI-PART DUTY RATE), ABI REQUIRES THAT
THE QUANTITY OF THE SET AND THE APPROPRIATE UNIT OF MEASURE BE
REPORTED IN THE 70 RECORD OF THE ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSMISSION.
2. IF THE UNIT OF MEASURE OF THE ASSOCIATED TARIFF NUMBER IS
OTHER THAN "X", THE APPROPRIATE UNIT OF MEASURE MUST BE REPORTED
IN THE 70 RECORD OF THE ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSMISSION. UNLESS THE
TARIFF NUMBER HAS A COMPOUND DUTY RATE AS DESCRIBED IN THE PRECEDING
PARAGRAPH, THE QUANTITY AND VALUE SHOULD BE OMITTED IN THIS CASE.
ACTION:
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, SOFTWARE VENDORS AND SELF-PROGRAMMED FILERS
SHOULD IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES DESCRIBED ABOVE. QUESTIONS REGARDING
THIS MESSAGE MAY BE DIRECTED TO YOUR ABI CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
