An additional CSMS message will be published at least 15 days prior to the completion of this test and initiation of the hard reject of entries lacking the export certificate number provided for in the CATAIR.

Republic of Korea Country of Origin articles that are subject to the export certification requirement may not be entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption except upon presentation of a valid and properly executed certification of export.

Please refer to the ACE ABI CATAIR Importer’s Additional Declaration Detail (input 54 record) for additional information on ABI input requirements. Effective 8/1/2019, KOSA Certificates of Export provide for a 9 digit number in the section 15 field of the Export Certificates. Filers or Importer holding a 2019 KOSA Export Certificate without the 9 digit number in the section 15 field should have their Exporter contact the website for the Korea Iron and Steel Association (KOSA) at http:sq.kosa.or.kr/ for the 9 digit number.
