SUBJECT: IMMEDIATE DELIVERY PROCEDURES AT YEAR END
PASS TO: ALL CUSTOMS PERSONNEL, BROKERS, FILERS AND OTHER
INTERESTED PARTIES
THE OFFICE OF FIELD OPERATIONS IS ISSUING A BLANKET AUTHORIZATION
FOR THE RELEASE OF MERCHANDISE UNDER THE IMMEDIATE DELIVERY (ID)
PROCEDURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH 19 CFR 142.21(G) FOR THOSE FILERS
WHO WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF REDUCED TARIFF RATES OR SPECIAL
PROGRAMS WHICH TAKE EFFECT ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 1997.
IN THOSE INSTANCES WHERE THE CF 3461/CF 3461(ALT) IS USED AS
THE ENTRY AND IMPORTERS WISH TO CHANGE TO ID, THOSE DOCUMENTS
(CF 3461/ALT) MUST BE MARKED TO REFLECT THE CHANGE TO IMMEDIATE
DELIVERY. THIS WILL ALLOW FILERS TO ELECT A DATE OF ENTRY IN
ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TARIFF CHANGES OR SPECIAL PROGRAMS
SUCH AS THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT. UNDER IMMEDIATE
DELIVERY PROCEDURES, THE ENTRY/ENTRY SUMMARY MUST BE FILED WITHIN
10 WORKING DAYS. THIS AUTHORITY EXTENDS TO SHIPMENTS RELEASED
DECEMBER 17, THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1996.
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS POLICY SHOULD BE ADDRESS TO ENTRY AT
(202) 927-0380.
