ATTN: RECONCILIATION FILERS
FROM: HEADQUARTERS, RECONCILIATION TEAM
SUBJECT: DENIAL OF SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION LETTERS (SIL) FOR WHICH
A RECONCILIATION ISSUE HAS BEEN FLAGGED
THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO INFORM THE IMPORTING COMMUNITY THAT
SUPPLMENTAL INFORMATION LETTERS (SILS) INVOLVING ISSUES ALREADY FLAGGED
FOR RECONCILIATION SHALL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
RECONCILIATION ALLOWS AN IMPORTER TO REVISE CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF AN
ENTRY SUMMARY THAT WERE INDETERMINABLE AT THE TIME THE MERCHANDISE WAS
ENTERED. RECONCILIABLE ISSUES INCLUDE: VALUE, CLASSIFICATION (ON
A LIMITED BASIS), 9802 ISSUES, AND 520(D) CLAIMS. THE IMPORTER
IDENTIFIES THE OUTSTANDING INFORMATION BY FLAGGING UNDERLYING ENTRY
SUMMARIES. WHEN THE OUTSTANDING INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE, A
RECONCILIATION ENTRY IS FILED WITH CBP TO ADJUST THE UNDERLYING
ENTRIES. RECONCILIATION ENTRIES MUST BE FILED WITHIN 21 MONTHS
OF THE SUMMARY DATE OF THE FLAGGED ENTRY.
BROKERS AND IMPORTERS ARE REMINDED THAT AN ENTRY SUMMARY FLAGGED FOR
RECONCILIATION MAY NOT BE ADJUSTED BY A SIL FOR THE FLAGGED ISSUE. AN
ENTRY FLAGGED FOR A RECONCILABLE ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED BY A
SIL UNLESS IT IS A CLERICAL ERROR OR AN ISSUE NOT FLAGGED. THE FLAGGED
ISSUE MUST BE ADJUSTED BY A RECONCILIATON ENTRY.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING RECONCILIATION, PLEASE CONTACT
RICHARD WALLIO AT (202) 344-2556 OR MARIA BIANCHETTA AT (202) 344-2693.
