SUBJECT: PRIORITY ENFORCEMENT HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE
NUMBERS FOR FY 1996

THE CUSTOMS SERVICE HAS RECENTLY COMPLETED TRAINING MAJOR PORTS
IN THE FY 1996 TRADE ENFORCEMENT PLAN. THIS PLAN IS DESIGNED TO
HELP CUSTOMS TO BETTER FOCUS RESOURCES ON WHAT ARE DEEMED TO BE
PRIMARY AREAS OF CONCERN. TO ASSIST IN MEETING ITS TRADE
ENFORCEMENT OBJECTIVES, CUSTOMS HAS ALSO IMPROVED ITS SELECTION
METHODOLOGIES THROUGH MATHEMATICAL ANALYSES OF IMPORT TRENDS, AND
BY INSTITUTING SPECIALIZED EXAMINATIONS TO MEASURE COMPLIANCE
RATES FOR ALL TARIFF NUMBERS.

AN INNOVATION IN THE FY 1996 TRADE ENFORCEMENT PLAN IS THE
IDENTIFICATION OF EIGHT PRIORITY FOCUS INDUSTRIES. THESE
COMMODITY AREAS WILL ATTRACT SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION FROM CUSTOMS
IN EVERY REGARD: INFORMED COMPLIANCE, ENFORCED COMPLIANCE,
COMPLIANCE MEASUREMENT, AND POSSIBLY AUDITS AND INTERVENTIONS.
THE INDUSTRIES ARE:

TEXTILES
STEEL
AUTOS AND AUTO PARTS
CRITICAL COMPONENTS, E.G., FASTENERS, BEARINGS
ADVANCED DISPLAYS, E.G., CRT'S, FLAT PANEL
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
CAPITAL EQUIPMENT - MACHINE TOOLS
SOME SEGMENTS OF AGRICULTURE

BASED ON THESE ANALYSES, THE ATTACHED LIST OF HS NUMBERS IS BEING
PUBLISHED FOR THE USE OF IMPORTERS AND OTHERS CONCERNED. WE ARE
PROVIDING THIS LIST TO THE IMPORTING COMMUNITY IN THE SPIRIT OF
INFORMED COMPLIANCE. WE HOPE THE TRADE COMMUNITY WILL MAKE A
SPECIAL EFFORT TO OBTAIN IMPROVED COMPLIANCE IN THESE AREAS OF
PARTICULAR CONCERN.
