ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 98-1040, DATED NOVEMBER 12, 1998, ADVISED OF THE
NEW REQUIREMENT FOR THE '52' RECORD FOR ABI ENTRY SUMMARIES WHERE THE
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OF THE MERCHANDISE ON THE LINE IS EITHER CHINA (CN) OR
HONG KONG (HK). THIS NEW RECORD WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ANY MERCHANDISE FROM
EITHER OF THESE COUNTRIES EXPORTED ON OR AFTER DECMBER 17, 1998.
THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMS REQUIREMENT, IT IS A USDA REQUIREMENT.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT IN THE RECORD LAYOUT FOR POSITION 3 OF THE'52'
RECORD, THE CHINA/HONG KONG SWPM INDICATOR OF '1' OR '2' IS REQUIRED
IF THE C/O IS 'CN OR 'HK'. IN THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE, 'HK' WAS
INADVERTENTLY OMITTED IN THE RECORD LAYOUT DESCRIPTION.
WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS ERROR. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE THE BODY OF
THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE INDICATES 3 DIFFERENT CONDITION, THERE ARE ONLY
2 INDICATORS. ITEMS 1 AND 2 IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE HAVE
BEEN COMBINED AS INDICATOR '1'. THE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT MUST HAVE CERTIFY
THAT THE SWPM HAS BEEN TREATED, AND THE IMPORTER MUST HAVE THE CERTIFICATE
ON FILE.
AGAIN, WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE. PLEASE DIRECT ANY QUESTIONS
TO YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
