BEING OFFERED TO FILERS WHO MAY WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF REDUCED

YEAR. PLEASE NOTE THAT ABSOLUTE QUOTA MERCHANDISE AND MERCHANDISE MOVED
UNDER IMMEDIATE TRANSPORTATION (IT), CAN NOT USE THE ID PROCEDURE.

THROUGH THE WORD "ENTRY" ON THE DOCUMENT. IMPORTERS FILING DOCUMENTS
VIA ABI TRANSMISSION MUST SHOW THE ESTIMATED ENTRY DATE AS A 1996 DATE
IN ORDER TO USE ID. THE ESTIMATED ENTRY DATE SHOWN AND TRANSMITTED IS
THE DATE WHICH DETERMINES IF 1995 OR 1996 DUTY RATES ARE

PURPOSE OF TIMELY FILING ENTRY SUMMARIES UNDER THIS ONE TIME
ALLOWANCE. ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS POLICY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO
