FROM : ANGELA M DOWNEY
SUBJECT : REVISED C-4 CODES
DATE : 03/13/95
TO : ALL FILERS USING LINE RELEASE
FROM : CHIEF, CARGO CONTROL BRANCH, TRADE COMPLIANCE
SUBJECT: CLARIFICATION OF REVISED C-4 CODES EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 1995
LAST MONTH THE NORTHERN BORDER BROKERS ASSOCIATION AND THE BORDER
TRADE ALLIANCE RECEIVED LETTERS FROM THE OFFICE OF INSPECTION AND
CONTROL REGARDING THE UPCOMING CHANGES TO THE LINE RELEASE
SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, BROKERS PARTICIPATING IN LINE RELEASE
RECEIVED A LIST OF C-4 CODES REQUIRING MODIFICATION DUE TO BROAD
TARIFF RANGES.
APPARENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN SOME CONFUSION REGARDING THE FOUR
DIGIT TARIFF RANGE. THE 'FOUR DIGIT TARIFF NUMBER' REFERS TO THE
HEADING LEVEL. SEVERAL BROKERS HAVE SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS WITH
ONLY FOUR DIGITS AS THE TARIFF NUMBER. BELOW ARE EXAMPLES OF HOW
THE TARIFF NUMBER(S) SHOULD APPEAR ON THE LINE RELEASE
APPLICATION.
IF YOU HAVE AN APPLICATION WITH A SPECIFIC TARIFF NUMBER, THEN
ENTER THE NUMBER AS INDICATED BELOW. IF YOU HAVE A RANGE, THEN
THAT RANGE CAN BE NO GREATER THAN A HEADING LEVEL. SEE BELOW:
3001.10 ACCEPTABLE
3001.10 - 3001.90 ACCEPTABLE
3002.10 - 3002.90 ACCEPTABLE
3001 NOT ACCEPTABLE
3001.10 - 3002.90 NOT ACCEPTABLE
4817.10 - 4823.90 NOT ACCEPTABLE
PLEASE INDICATE THE TARIFF NUMBER OF SIX DIGITS FOR THE NEW
APPLICATION(S) SUBMITTED FOR EACH DISTRICT. THIS WILL HELP SPEED
UP THE TURN AROUND TIME TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION(S).
BEAR IN MIND, IF YOU HAVE AN APPROVED C-4 CODE AND THE PRODUCT
CODE HAS AN ACCEPTABLE TARIFF NUMBER/RANGE, FOR EXAMPLE 4814.10
OR 4814.10 - 4814.90, DO NOT RESUBMIT THE APPLICATIONS. THESE
APPLICATIONS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ACCEPTABLE.
AGAIN, THE FOUR DIGIT TARIFF NUMBER REFERS TO THE HEADING LEVEL.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL 202-927-0094 OR 202-927-
1027.
