U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced that effective March 17 the trade community may file U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement drawback claims in the Automated Commercial Environment. However, CBP processing of these claims will be on hold pending the implementation of the USMCA drawback regulations.
CBP is also reminding claimants with accelerated payment privileges that they will not be able to obtain AP on USMCA drawback claims until all the applicable regulations are implemented (although claims filed under NAFTA and same condition drawback will remain eligible for AP). As a result, claimants should submit their USMCA drawback claims without the AP indicator in ACE, even if they are approved for AP. If this indicator is included prior to the effective date of the USMCA regulations, the claim will be accepted but AP will be removed from the claim.
