SUBJECT : DRA-ABI DRAWBACK AND NAFTA
DATE : 05/30/96
ADMIN MESSAGE 95-1087, DATED NOVEMBER 8, 1995, PROVIDED THE
REVISED RECORD LAYOUTS FOR THE ABI 'JJ' DRAWBACK TRANSACTION THAT
INCLUDE THE 'D50' RECORD FOR REPORTING CANADIAN IMPORT ENTRY
INFORMATION ON NAFTA DRAWBACK CLAIMS, AS WELL AS CHANGES TO THE
'D90' RECORD TO SUPPORT NAFTA. THESE CHANGES WILL GO INTO
PRODUCTION AS OF WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 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 'JJ' TRANSACTION, AT LEAST ONE NEW 'D50' RECORD IS TO BE
PROVIDED FOR CLAIM TYPES 41 AND 44 IF THE NAFTA INDICATOR IN THE
'D10' RECORD IS A '1' 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 'D50' RECORD MUST BE PROVIDED IF THE
NAFTA INDICATOR IN THE 'D10' RECORD IS A '1'.
THE 'D50' 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 TO THE 'D90' RECORD TO INCLUDE THE
'D50' COUNT IN POSITIONS 38-42, THE TOTAL CANADIAN DUTY IN POSITIONS
43-54, AND THE TOTAL U.S. DOLLAR EQUIVALENT DUTY IN POSITIONS 55-66.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE 'JJ' TRANSACTION FOR DRAWBACK MAY BE
ADDRESSED TO ME AT 202-927-0299.
