* CURRENTLY, IF MERCHANDISE IS SHIPPED UNDER AN 'IT', THE MPF RATE HAS
BEEN CALCULATED UNDER THE SAME 'DATE TREE' AS DUTY RATES -USING THE IT
DATE. UNDER GATT, MPF IS CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF ENTRY OR WITHDRAWAL
FROM THE WAREHOUSE. ACS PROGRAMMING CHANGES WILL BE EFFECTED ON JANUARY
18, 1995 TO REFLECT THIS REQUIREMENT. UNTIL JANUARY 18, CUSTOMS WILL NOT
REJECT ENTRY SUMMARIES PRESENTED WITH MERCHANDISE PROCESSING FEES CAL-
CATED USING THE 1994 RATES OR NON-ABI ENTRY SUMMARIES/ ABI RELEASES WITH
MERCHANDISE PROCESSING FEES CALCULATED USING THE 1995 MPF RATES (FOR THOSE
FILERS WITH PROGRAMMING ALREADY IN PLACE).
