Documentation Requirements for Imports Claiming Duty Preferences Under Review

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is accepting through July 8 comments on the proposed extension without change of the documentation requirements for articles entered under various special tariff treatment provisions. To file for duty-free or reduced duty treatment under HTSUS 9801.00.10, 9802.00.20, 9802.00.25, 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, 9802.00.60 and 9817.00, importers or their agents must have the declarations provided for in 19 CFR 10.1(a), 10.8(a), 10.9(a) and 10.121 in their possession at the time of entry and submit them to CBP upon request. These declarations enable CBP to ascertain whether the requirements of these HTSUS provisions have been satisfied.
