WHEN REPORTING TARIFF NUMBERS VIA THE ABI 'D20' RECORD FOR THE 'JJ'
DRAWBACK APPLICATION, DO NOT REPORT SPECIAL CHAPTER 99 NUMBERS. FOR
ANY MERCHANDISE COVERED BY A '99' TARIFF NUMBER (ALTERNATE REPORTING
NUMBER), REPORT THE REGULAR CHAPTER '01' THRU '98' PRIMARY TARIFF
REPORTING NUMBER.
THE ABI DRAWBACK APPLICATION (AS WELL AS THE DISKETTE TRANSACTION) USES
THE AUTOMATED EXPORT SYSTEM'S (AES) TARIFF DATABASE FOR VERIFICATION
BECAUSE IT CONTAINS BOTH IMPORT AND SCHEDULE B EXPORT TARIFF DATA. THIS
DATABASE, HOWEVER, DOES NOT CONTAIN THE CHAPTER '99' SPECIAL REPORTING
NUMBERS. FOR THAT REASON, WE ASK THAT YOU USE THE PRIMARY CHAPTER '01'
THRU '98' REPORTING NUMBER FOR THE MERCHANDISE IN QUESTION.
TO REITERATE THE ABI 'JJ' APPLICATION REPORTING EDITS AND FORMATS:
IMPORT TARIFFS IN THE 'D20' RECORD(S) MAY BE REPORTED AT THE 6, 8 OR 10
DIGIT LEVELS. IF REPORTED AT 6 OR 8 DIGITS, SPACE-FILL THE BALANCE
OF THE TARIFF NUMBER. ANY UNUSED POSITIONS IN EACH 'D20' RECORD MUST
BE SPACE-FILLED. DO NOT USE CHAPTER '99' REPORTING NUMBERS. IF THE
CLAIM IS FOR PETROLEUM (WHERE THE PETROLEUM INDICATOR HAS BEEN SET),
IMPORT TARIFFS MUST BE REPORTED AT EITHER THE 8 OR 10 DIGIT LEVELS.
THE SAME EDITS ABOVE APPLY TO SCHEDULE B REPORTING NUMBERS GIVEN IN THE
'D25' RECORD(S).
