OFFICE OF FIELD OPERATIONS
SUBJECT: IMMEDIATE DELIVERY PROCEDURES AT YEAR-END
TCF FY07-0329
THE OFFICE OF TRADE COMPLIANCE AND FACILITATION IS ISSUING A
BLANKET AUTHORIZATION FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY (ID) PROCEDURES FOR
MERCHANDISE TO BE RELEASED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 15, 2006, AND
UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2006, IN ACCORDANCE WITH 19 CFR 142.21(H).
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, 2007.
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 15, 2006,
THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2006 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 2007 DATE, THEN THE 2006 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.
A SECOND BLANKET AUTHORITY WILL BE OFFERED 10 DAYS PRIOR TO THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE 2007 HTS CHANGES.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS POLICY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO DEBBIE SCOTT,
FIELD OPERATIONS SPECIALIST AT (202 344-1962 OR BRUCE COULLIETTE,
ACTING CHIEF OF ENTRY AND DRAWBACK MANAGEMENT AT (202) 344-2148.
