CBP released its Aug. 29 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 52, No. 35). It contains CBP general notices, a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision, and a CBP interim final rule on refunds of alcohol excise taxes.
Importers will still be able to use a CBP “U.S. Import Certification of Admissibility” for Mexican seafood products during an “additional transition period,” but CBP is strongly urging the immediate use of Certifications of Admissibility from the National Marine Fisheries Service immediately, it said in a CSMS message. “Following the conclusion of the transition period, this will be the only permitted form,” it said. CBP had provided instructions on its interim certification soon after a ban took effect Aug. 14 on imports of shrimp, curvina, sierra, and chano fish caught using gillnets in the range of the nearly extinct vaquita porpoise (see 1808150011). The NMFS form requires the signature of a Mexican government official. The NMFS certification requirement is effective Aug. 24 for all imports from Mexico under more than 70 tariff subheadings covering various types of seafood (see 1808270014). The certificate is required Mexico-wide because the subheadings themselves are broad, so importers will have to certify that their shipments are not one of the covered species, or were not caught using gillnets in the designated area.
