CBP on Aug. 22 issued new filing instructions for goods subject to Section 301 duties, in light of the 10 percent tariffs set to take effect on Sept. 1. The agency’s CSMS message contains updated information on how to enter goods with subheadings on the first group of fourth tranche products, on which Section 301 duties take effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Sept. 1 (see 1908150039). Beginning on Sept. 1, goods included in the first group of the list must be filed under subheading 9903.88.15. Then, effective Dec. 15, tariffs take effect on a second list of goods under subheading 9903.88.16.
CBP will streamline its processing of vessel manifest confidentiality requests by allowing for electronic submissions, it said in an Aug. 22 notice. Vessel manifest information is frequently used by trade data companies, such as Panjiva, Datamyne and Import Genius. "Currently, any importer, consignee, or exporter may request confidential treatment of their name and address on inward and outward vessel manifests via a manual email request that typically takes 60-90 days to be processed," CBP said. "The new enhancement will automate this process via an online tool, located on CBP.gov, reducing the processing time of confidentiality requests to as little as 24 hours." Also, CBP said "the new tool will enable companies and individuals to directly input all applicable name variations into the Vessel Manifest Confidentiality request tool."
