SUBJECT: GSP EXPIRATION AND TIME OF ENTRY
ABI FILERS SHOULD RE-READ ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES 94-0920 AND 94-0857.
THESE MESSAGES STATE THAT GSP WILL EXPIRE AFTER SEPTEMBER 30, 1994. IN
ORDER TO MAKE A VALID GSP CLAIM THROUGH ABI FOR CARGO WHICH IS EXPECTED
TO BE CLEARED BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 1994, ABI FILERS SHOULD TRANSMIT AN
ESTIMATED ENTRY DATE (EI APPLIATION 10 RECORD, POSITIONS 50-55) WITH EACH
ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSMITTED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR STATEMENT
FILERS WHO TRANSMIT ENTRY SUMMARIES WITH PAYMENT DUE DATES AFTER
OCTOBER 1, 1994.
FAILURE TO TRANSMIT THIS FIELD MAY RESULT IN A REJECTION OF THE
SUMMARY TRANSMISSION IF THE GSP INDICATOR ("A") IS TRANSMITTED
WITH ZERO DUTY. UNLESS ABI CAN DETERMINE A VALID DATE OF ENTRY
PRIOR TO OCTOBER 1, 1994, ALL GSP-ELIGIBLE TARIFF NUMBERS WILL BE
REQUIRED TO SHOW AN ESTIMATED DUTY AMOUNT, AS OUTLINED IN THE
REFERENCED ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES. USE OF THE ESTIMATED ENTRY
DATE FIELD WILL ENABLE FILERS TO RECEIVE GSP STATUS FOR SHIPMENTS
EXPECTED TO CLEAR CUSTOMS PRIOR TO OCTOBER 1, 1994.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MESSAGE MAY BE DIRECTED TO YOUR CLIENT
REPRESENTATIVE.
