IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A PERMIT INDICATOR ON THE TARIFF NUMBER
DOES NOT MEAN THAT A PERMIT/LICENSE NUMBER IS REQUIRED IN ALL INSTANCES.
THE PERMIT INDICATOR IDENTIFIES TARIFF NUMBERS THAT MAY REQUIRE A PERMIT

THE PERMIT INDICATOR IS SIMILAR TO A QUOTA INDICATOR (POSITION 49 OF THE
V3 AND W3 RECORDS) OR ANTIDUMPING INDICATOR (POSITION 48 OF THE V3 AND
W3 RECORDS) WHICH ALERTS THE TRADE THAT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES
THE TARIFF NUMBER MAY BE SUBJECT TO QUOTA OR ANTIDUMPING. THE PERMIT
INDICATOR WILL ALERT THE TRADE THAT THE TARIFF NUMBER MAY BE SUBJECT TO
A MISCELLANEOUS PERMIT OR LICENSE REQUIREMENT.
THE PERMIT INDICATORS WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE V2 (OUTPUT) AND W2
