IN ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 92-0455 DATED 09/21/92 YOU WERE ADVISED THAT
THE MERCHANDISE PROCESSING FEE RATE FOR FORMAL ENTRIES FOR MERCHANDISE
ENTERED ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 1, 1992 WILL BE INCREASED TO 0.19 PERCENT AD
VALOREM. PROGRAMMING CHANGES TO ACCEPT THE NEW RATE ARE NOW IN PLACE.
WE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND FILERS THAT THE DEFAULT DATES FOR DUTY AND FEE
VALIDATIONS ARE OUTLINED IN THE CATAIR ON PAGE ENS-10-05. PLEASE NOTE
THAT THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE LAST PARAGRAPH ON THAT PAGE. CURRENTLY THE
CATAIR STATES THAT FOR USER FEE CALCULATIONS ACS IGNORES THE I.T. DATE.
THAT STATEMENT IS NOT CORRECT. THE I.T. DATE IS USED FOR USER FEE
CALCULATIONS. A FUTURE UPDATE OF THE CATAIR WILL CORRECT THIS ERROR.
FILERS WHO NORMALLY USE IMMEDIATE DELIVERY PROCEDURES, SUCH AS THOSE
IN THE BORDER AREAS, ARE REMINDED THAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN
TO DECLARE THE RELEASE DATE AS THE ENTRY DATE AT THE TIME OF ENTRY
PRESENTATION IF THEY WISH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LOWER
MPF FOR MERCHANDISE THAT WILL BE RELEASED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 1ST AND
THE SUBSEQUENT FOLLOW UP SUMMARY WILL BE FILED ON OR AFTER OCTOBER
1ST. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PROCEDURES APPLY ONLY TO FILERS
USING THE IMMEDIATE DELIVERY PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN SECTION 142.21 OF THE
CUSTOMS REGULATIONS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
