CSMS #40295078 - Drawback: Harmonized Tariff (HTSUS) Classification Descriptions for Certain Substitution Claims

Drawback claimants are reminded of the following when determining the classification and description of the designated imported merchandise:

For imported merchandise designated on a claim, the drawback claimant is required to use the classification and description defined in the HTSUS effective on the date of entry regardless if the HTSUS has changed at the time of claim submission.
Classifications and descriptions are defined by the United States International Trade Commission. Current and historical HTSUS schedules with descriptions can be found on their website: www.usitc.gov.

Additionally, claimants are notified that the DRAWBACK BASKET PROVISION INDICATOR (DBPI) report object will henceforth be unavailable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule reports universe.
