CSMS #48596749 - Retail Sales Long-Term Solution for Drawback Exports to Canada and Mexico Deployed to CERT

Please be advised that the programming change related to Retail Sales for Drawback as it relates to the United States, Mexico, and Canada Free Trade Agreement (USMCA) deployed to the Certification (CERT) environment on June 24, 2021. The Production (PROD) deployment date is tentatively scheduled for July 8, 2021. A CSMS will be posted when the PROD deployment date is confirmed.

The change will include a new Retail Sales Indicator for Drawback provision codes 56 and 70 in position 77 of the 10-Record of the Drawback CATAIR. Per the regulations for USMCA, Drawback claims for provision codes 56 and 70 are not allowed to use substitution if the country of export is Canada (CA) or Mexico (MX). The parameters for the new provision code are as follows:

An ‘X’ in position 77 indicates that a Substitution Drawback claim is being filed for Drawback provision codes 56 and 70.
No ‘X’ in position 77, will indicate that a Direct Identification claim is being filed for provision codes 56 and 70.
An ‘X’ in position 77 of the 10-Record, and if the Country of Origin is CA or MX, the filer will receive an error message.
An ‘X’ in position 77 of the 10-Record, and if the Country of Origin is neither CA nor MX, the claim will be accepted (provided there are no other errors on the Drawback submission).

For any technical questions regarding this update, please contact your ABI Client Representative.
