Please refer to Quota Bulletin QB 22-702 2022 Aluminum Absolute Quota Second Quarter Argentina at: https://www.cbp.gov/trade/quota/bulletins which addresses quantity thresholds for April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022.
All entries submitted prior to April 1, 2022 will not be eligible for Q2 quota.
In alignment with Presidential Proclamation 9740 of April 30, 2018 and Presidential Proclamation 9759 of May 31, 2018: Quantitative limitations applicable to imports of aluminum products under HTS subheadings 9903.85.05 through 9903.85.06 for the quota year are limited on a quarterly basis.
As of June 1, 2018, CBP implemented absolute quota processing functionality in ACE. Absolute quota is processed on a daily basis, Monday to Friday (excluding holidays), and cargo release of shipments subject to the absolute quota will be withheld until the absolute quota is processed and quota amounts are allocated.
In order for shipments to be processed for absolute quota on the same day, the entry summary must be filed, entry summary payment date must be on file or scheduled for a future statement, and the conveyance arrived by 4:30 pm in the port of unlading’s local time zone. The official hours for quota processing are established by 19 CFR 132.3.
All entries submitted prior to 8:30 am ET and on April 1, 2022 will be counted in the first opening at 8:30 am ET. If the accepted entry totals for any HTS submitted prior to the first opening exceed the limit of that HTS they will be prorated.
Trade can track quota status by viewing the weekly quota commodity status report found at www.cbp.gov/trade/quota.
