SUBJECT : TBT-98-070 - AMENDMENT TO HARMONIZED FACT SHEET
30, DATED SEPTEMBER 29, 1998
BACKGROUND:
ON APRIL 7, 1997, U.S. CUSTOMS PROVIDED A LIST OF TARIFF NUMBERS
THAT REQUIRE A FORMAL ENTRY, REGARDLESS OF VALUE BECAUSE OF
QUOTA/VISA CONCERNS AND ANOTHER LIST OF HTS NUMBERS IN WHICH A
FORMAL ENTRY IS REQUIRED BECAUSE OF LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS.
THESE FORMAL ENTRY REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO COMMERCIAL SHIPMENTS
ONLY.
FOR CLARIFICATION, A COMMERCIAL IMPORTATION IS DEFINED AS
MERCHANDISE WHICH IS IMPORTED FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES, THAT IS, NOT
IMPORTED FOR PERSONAL OR HOUSEHOLD USE BY THE IMPORTER OR AS A
BONA FIDE GIFT. EXAMPLES OF COMMERCIAL IMPORTATIONS INCLUDE, BUT
ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. GOODS IMPORTED BY A DEPARTMENT STORE FOR RESALE TO
RETAIL CUSTOMERS.
2. FABRIC IMPORTED BY A MANUFACTURER TO BE USED IN MAKING
GARMENTS.
3. IMPORTED RUBBER COATED FABRIC BELTS TO BE INSTALLED IN
INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY.
EXAMPLES OF PERSONAL IMPORTATIONS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO
THE FOLLOWING:
1. A SHIRT ORDERED THROUGH THE MAIL FOR THE IMPORTER' USE.
2. A DRESS IMPORTED TO BE GIVEN TO THE IMPORTER'S CHILD.
3. MATERIAL IMPORTED TO BE USED IN SEWING PERSONAL
GARMENTS.
THE FOLLOWING IS AN UPDATE OF THIS ORIGINAL LIST:
ACTION:
1) THE FOLLOWING HTS NUMBERS WILL REQUIRE FORMAL ENTRY FOR
COMMERCIAL SHIPMENTS ONLY, IF VALUED IN EXCESS OF $250 (19 CFR
143.21A).
