THE OFFICE OF FIELD OPERATIONS HAS ISSUED A BLANKET
AUTHORIZATION FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY(ID) PROCEDURES FOR
MERCHANDISE TO BE RELEASED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 17, 1998,
AND UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 1998, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
19 CFR 142.21(G). THIS ID PROCEDURE IS OFFERED TO FILERS
WHO MAY WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF REDUCED TARIFF RATES OR
SPECIAL PROGRAMS WHICH TAKE EFFECT ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1,
1999. PLEASE NOTE THAT ABSOLUTE QUOTA MERCHANDISE AND
MERCHANDISE MOVED UNDER IMMEDIATE TRANSPORTATION ENTRY
(INBOND), CAN NOT BE ENTERED UNDER ID PROCEDURES. TARIFF
RATE QUOTA MERCHANDISE PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED FOR ID RELEASE
MAY STILL BE RELEASED UNDER ID.
IN THOSE INSTANCES WHERE THE CF 3461/CF 3461(ALT) IS USED AS
THE ENTRY AND IMPORTERS WISH TO ELECT ID, A LINE MUST BE DRAWN
THROUGH THE WORD "ENTRY" ON THE DOCUMENT. THESE DOCUMENTS
(CF 3461/CF3461ALT) MUST BE MARKED AS ABOVE NOTED 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. UNDER IMMEDIATE DELIVERY
PROCEDURES, THE ENTRY/ENTRY SUMMARY MUST BE FILED WITHIN 10
WORKING DAYS. THIS AUTHORITY EXTENDS TO SHIPMENTS RELEASED
DECEMBER 17, 1997 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1997.
ABI FILERS THAT RECEIVE THE PROVISIONAL SELECTIVITY MESSAGE
"PAPERLESS", CAN ESTABLISH THEIR DESIRED ENTRY DATE BY USING
THE ESTIMATED ENTRY DATE FIELD IN THE SUMMARY TRANSMISSION
("EI" TRANSMISSION). PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THIS DATE DOES NOT
SHOW A 1999 DATE, THEN THE 1998 DUTY RATES WILL BE APPLICABLE.
NO GRACE PERIOD WILL BE GRANTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF TIMELY
FILING ENTRY SUMMARIES UNDER THIS ONE TIME ALLOWANCE. ANY
QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS POLICY SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO BYRON
KISSANE, ENTRY AT (202) 927-0380.
