CBP issued the following release on commercial trade and related matters:
CBP is setting permanent import restrictions on archaeological and ethnological material from Libya, it said in a final rule. The agency had in December set temporary emergency restrictions (see 1712050024), before reaching an agreement with Libya in February. The final rule removes Libya from the list of countries with emergency restrictions and adds it to the list of countries with which the U.S. has an agreement. It also sets out a Designated List of Archaeological and Ethnological Material of Libya to which the restrictions apply. The final rule takes effect July 9.

A listing of recent antidumping and countervailing duty messages from the Commerce Department posted to CBP's website July 3, along with the case number(s) and CBP message number, is provided below.

Some importers of merchandise subject to antidumping and countervailing duties may need to use special case numbers on entry documentation if their goods were processed in a third country prior to importation, CBP said in a CSMS message. Though AD/CV duty orders generally covered goods produced in a given country, sometimes such goods may have undergone processes in a third country that mean the third country is actually the country of origin on CBP entry documentation, even though the good itself may remain subject to the AD/CV duty order. AD/CVD case numbers must match the country of origin on entry summaries, so for these situations Commerce creates new case numbers that importers can use to report such entries properly.
CBP created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1811 on July 3, containing 675 Automated Broker Interface records and 116 harmonized tariff records, it said in a CSMS message. The update includes changes related to the Section 301 tariffs on goods from China that take effect July 6, CBP said.
Correction: Section 301 duties on products from China that are set to begin July 6 will be eligible for drawback (see 1807030033), CBP said in a CSMS message.

Drawback will be available on entries subject to 25 percent Section 301 tariffs set to take effect July 6 on products from China, CBP said in updated guidance on the new tariffs. CBP also said that, when submitting an entry in which a heading or subheading in Chapter 98 is claimed on merchandise covered by the Section 301 tariffs, filers must first report subheading 9903.88.01 (the Chapter 99 subheading for the duties), followed by the applicable Chapter 98 subheading and the normal Chapter 1-97 classification. USTR released its final list of tariff subheadings covered by the tariffs on June 15 (see 1806150003).
