MEMORANDUM FOR: DIRECTORS, FIELD OPERATIONS
FROM : EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, TRADE ENFORCEMENT AND FACILITATION
OFFICE OF FIELD OPERATIONS
SUBJECT : IMMEDIATE DELIVERY PROCEDURES AT YEAR-END
TEF FY06-0334
IN ACCORDANCE WITH 19 CFR 142.21(G), THE OFFICE OF TRADE ENFORCEMENT
AND FACILITATION IS ISSUING A BLANKET AUTHORIZATION FOR IMMEDIATE
DELIVERY (ID) PROCEDURES FOR MERCHANDISE TO BE RELEASED ON OR AFTER
DECEMBER 16, 2005 AND UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2005. 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, 2006.
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 16, 2005,
THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2005 ONLY.
ABI FILERS THAT 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 2006 DATE, THEN THE 2005 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 MS. DEBBIE SCOTT,
FIELD OPERATIONS SPECIALIST AT (202 344-1962 OR MS. SHERRI HOFFMAN,
CHIEF OF ENTRY AND DRAWBACK MANAGEMENT AT (202) 344-2684.
