PLEASE REFERENCE ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 99-1079, DATED DECEMBER 6, 1999
REGARDING THE REQUIREMENT FOR AN EXPORT CERTIFICATE FOR CANADIAN ORIGIN
SUGAR-CONTAINING PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO TARIFF-RATE QUOTAS. SAID EXPORT
CERTIFICATE WILL BE REQUIRED ON OR AFTER JANUARY 31, 2000.
BELOW ARE THE ABI PROGRAMMING SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS FEATURE. THE
CANADIAN EXPORT CERTIFICATE WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE TIME OF ABI ENTRY
SUMMARY AND WILL BE SENT IN THE '52' RECORD OF THE ABI 'EI' TRANSACTION.
THE EXPORT CERTIFICATE WILL BE 8 ALPHA/NUMERIC, NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS.
THE 'EI' '52' RECORD IS CURRENTLY USED TO REPORT THE SWPM INDICATOR FOR
CHINA OR HONG KONG. IT HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCORPORATE THIS NEW EXPORT
CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENT FOR CANADIAN SUGAR-CONTAINING PRODUCTS.
THE CANADIAN EXPORT CERTIFICATE NUMBER WILL BE REQUIRED IN THE 'EI' '52'
RECORD: 1. IF THE COUNTRY OF EXPORT AND COUNTRY OF ORIGIN BOTH ARE CANADA,
(ABI 'EI' '40' RECORD C/O, ABI '50' RECORD C/E)
AND 2. IF BOTH THE DATE OF EXPORT AND DATE OF ENTRY ARE ON OR AFTER
JANUARY 31, 2000,
AND 3. IF THE TARIFF NUMBER IS ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
17019154, 17049074, 18062075, 18062095, 18069055,
19019056, 21011254, 21012054, 21069078, 21069095
(NOTE THAT THESE TARIFFS APPLY AT THE 8 DIGIT LEVEL,
REGARDLESS OF STATISTICAL SUFFIX.)
IF ALL THREE OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS ARE MET, THE '52' RECORD WILL BE
REQUIRED, AND THE 8 CHARACTER CANADIAN EXPORT CERTIFICATE NUMBER MUST
APPEAR IN POSITIONS 4-11.
FOLLOWING IS THE REVISED '52' RECORD LAYOUT:
RECORD IDENTIFIER 52

A CERIFICATION INDICATOR OR CERTIFICATE NUMBER AS REQUIRED EITHER BASED ON
A SPECIFIC COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, COUNTRY OF EXPORT, TARIFF NUMBER, DATE OF

FOLLOW ANY GIVEN '51' RECORD, OR IF NO '51' RECORD IS GIVEN, WILL FOLLOW
THE '50' RECORD.
