SUBJECT: NEW DRAWBACK FORMS
TREASURY DECISION 98-16, DATED MARCH 5, 1998, REVISED THE CUSTOMS
REGULATIONS FOR DRAWBACK, PART 191. AS A RESULT OF THE
REGULATORY CHANGES, THREE NEW DRAWBACK FORMS WERE DEVELOPED:
DRAWBACK ENTRY (CF 7551) DELIVERY CERTIFICATE FOR PURPOSES OF
DRAWBACK (CF 7552), AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO EXPORT, DESTROY OR
RETURN MERCHANDISE FOR PURPOSES OF DRAWBACK (CF 7553). THE
DRAWBACK REGULATIONS BECAME EFFECTIVE ON APRIL 6, 1998; HOWEVER,
THE TRADE COMMUNITY WAS GIVEN A 90-DAY PERIOD AFTER THE
REGULATIONS WERE PUBLISHED (I.E., UNTIL JULY 7, 1998) BEFORE
BEING REQUIRED TO UTILIZE THE NEW FORMS.
THE NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER PRINTED AND MAILED THE FINAL
VERSIONS OF THE THREE NEW DRAWBACK FORMS TO EACH OF THE EIGHT
CUSTOMS DRAWBACK CENTERS AND TO ALL U.S. CUSTOMS PORTS OF ENTRY.
THE NEW FORMS ARE AVAILABLE TO BROKERS AND THE TRADE COMMUNITY AT
EACH OF THESE LOCATIONS.
THE NEW DRAWBACK FORMS ARE FREE OF CHARGE. DUE TO THE LIMITED
SUPPLY OF ADDITIONAL FORMS AT THE NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER,
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH CUSTOMS OFFICES AND DRAWBACK
CLAIMANTS MAKE XEROX COPIES OF THE FORMS IN ORDER TO AVOID DELAYS
THAT MAY OCCUR WHEN ORDERING ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES FROM THE
NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER.
