SUBJECT: NEW PROCEDURES TO REQUEST DUTY FREE CERTIFICATES FOR

THE DEFENSE CONTRACT MANAGEMENT AGENCY (DCMA) PROVIDES THE DUTY-FREE
CERTIFICATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS ENTERED UNDER THE DUTY-FREE TARIFF
PROVISION, HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE UNITED STATES, 9808.00.30.
DCMA HAS CREATED A NEW WEB-BASED APPLICATION (ETOOL) FOR REQUESTING

DCMA WILL REVIEW EACH ELECTRONIC REQUEST, AND IF THE MERCHANDISE IS
AUTHORIZED FOR DUTY-FREE ENTRY, DCMA WILL E-MAIL THE DFE CERTIFICATE TO
THE FILER. THE FILER WILL THEN SUBMIT A PAPER COPY OF THE CERTIFICATE
TO CBP. CBP WILL ACCEPT THE DFE CERTIFICATES WITH DCMA'S ELECTRONIC
SIGNATURE.
