Draft Entry Summary CATAIR posted in support of Tariff Rate Adjustments and Section 232 Exclusions



On June 1, 2018, CBP plans to deploy changes to ACE Entry Summary that will allow CBP to validate tariff rate adjustments and exclusions in support of Section 232 measures pursuant to Presidential Proclamations 9704 and 9705, as amended, and the procedures published at 83 FR 12106, March 19, 2018.

The Entry Summary Create/Update (AE) transaction will expect the inclusion of the relevant HTS chapter 99 applicable for the article (i.e., the tariff adjustment), except if the Importer has been granted a product exclusion, or if the country of origin has been exempted from the duty measures. Filers should report the additional 232 duty as well as the normal duty (if any) for the article. The determination of the relevant date to determine if a remedy is in effect can be found in the AE CATAIR chapter’s ‘Duty Rate Date Matrix Hierarchy’ (in section ‘Basic Article Classification and Tariff Considerations’). The date is chosen from those reported (or those determined by CBP).



When applicable, a Product Exclusion Identifier shall be reported in the AE transaction’s 54-Record (Importer’s Additional Declaration Detail). Two additional Importer’s Additional Declaration Type Codes have been established:



02 = Product Exclusion Information – Steel products.

03 = Product Exclusion Information – Aluminum products



Please see the ACE Entry Summary Create/Update CATAIR and the ACE CATAIR Error Dictionary for additional information. A CSMS message will be issued with further details on submitting the product exclusion identifier.
