CSMS #42445519 - Korea Steel Export Certificates

The soft-reject remains in effect related to the requirement that all filers conducting entry for Country of Origin Republic of South Korea Steel HTSUS 9903.80.05 through 9903.80.58 and 9903.80.60 must include the valid and properly executed Korea Iron and Steel Association (KOSA) Certificate of Export. The soft reject does not preclude the entry from normal processing; it generates an informational message, to the filer, informing required documentation is absent.

When it is determined that a hard reject will be implemented, an additional CSMS message will publish providing notice to the Trade at least 15 days prior to the initiation of the process. At this time, the test of the soft reject (allows entry but provides a UC message to the filer) is continuing.

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 2020 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.

Background: Presidential Proclamation 9777 (83 FR 45025) clause 7 provides that if a government of a country identified in the superior text to subheading 9903.80.05 through 9903.80.58 HTSUS, notifies the United States that it has established a mechanism for the certification of exports to the products covered by the quantitative limitation appropriate to those subheadings, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) may require that importers of these products furnish relevant certification of export information in order to qualify for the treatment set forth in those subheadings.
