SUBJECT : DRA-DRAWBACK DISKETTES AND NAFTA
DATE : 05/30/96
ALL DRAWBACK DISKETTE FILERS WERE PROVIDED WITH AN INFORMATION PACKAGE
DATED NOVEMBER 15, 1995 CONTAINING THE REVISED DISKETTE LAYOUTS THAT
INCLUDE THE FORMATS NECESSARY FOR PREPARING DISKETTE SUBMISSIONS FOR
NAFTA DRAWBACK CLAIMS. THESE CHANGES WILL GO INO PRODUCTION AS OF
JUNE 12, 1996. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY IN MAKING THIS AVAILABLE.
NAFTA DRAWBACK CLAIMS ARE DEFINED AS THOSE SUBJECT TO THE "LESSER
OF" RULE, AND APPLY TO EXPORTS TO CANADA MADE ON OR AFTER JANUARY
1, 1996. THOSE CLAIMS NOT SUBJECT TO THE "LESSER OF" RULE, OR
FOR EXPORTS MADE TO CANADA PRIOR TO JANUARY 1, 1996, ARE NOT
CONSIDERED NAFTA CLAIMS FOR DRAWBACK PURPOSES.
FOR THE DISKETTES, AT LEAST ONE NEW 'CI' CANADIAN IMPORT TRAILER RECORD
IS TO BE PROVIDED FOR CLAIM TYPES 41 AND 44 IF THE NAFTA INDICATOR IN
THE HEADER RECORD IS A 'Y' AND THE CLAIM IS FOR EXPORTS TO CANADA MADE
ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 1996. LIKEWISE, IF THE CLAIM TYPE IS '42'
COVERING DIRECT ID UNUSED MERCHANDISE NOT IN THE SAME CONDITION
AS IMPORTED, AT LEAST ONE 'CI' RECORD MUST BE PROVIDED IF THE
NAFTA INDICATOR IN THE HEADER RECORD IS A 'Y'.
THE 'CI' RECORD CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING REQUIRED INFORMATION:
1. THE CANADIAN ENTRY NUMBER.
2. THE CANADIAN IMPORT DATE. THIS DATE HAS BEEN DEFINED AS THE
CANADIAN ENTRY ACCOUNTING DATE.
3. THE CANADIAN TARIFF NUMBER COVERING THE EXPORTS ON THE
DRAWBACK CLAIM.
4. THE CANADIAN TARIFF DUTY RATE FOR THE GIVEN TARIFF NUMBER.
5. THE CANADIAN DUTY AMOUNT IN CANADIAN DOLLARS FOR THE GIVEN
TARIFF NUMBER.
6. THE EQUIVALENT U.S. DOLLAR AMOUNT OF THE CANADIAN DUTY FOR THE
GIVEN TARIFF NUMBER. THE EQUIVALENT U.S. DOLLAR AMOUNT IS TO
BE COMPUTED USING THE FEDERAL RESERVE RATE FOR CANADA AS
PUBLISHED BY U.S. CUSTOMS USING THE CANADIAN ENTRY ACCOUNTING
DATE.
ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGES MADE TO THE 'CT' CLAIM TRAILER RECORD
TO ADD THE 5-DIGIT 'CI' RECORD COUNTER IN POSITIONS 52-56, AS WELL AS
THE TOTAL CANADIAN DUTY IN POSITIONS 57-68 AND THE TOTAL U.S. DOLLAR
EQUIVALENT DUTY IN POSITIONS 69-80.
