The Food and Drug Administration updated a 1994 notice that identified categories of products that can be released by CBP without FDA notification when under the de minimis value (Section 321) to reflect some recent changes, the agency said in a CSMS message (here). While the FDA already updated a regulatory procedural manual after the CBP de minimis threshold was increased from $200 to $800 (here), that 1994 notice was due for an update, it said. "Based on conversations with stakeholders, FDA reporting requirements for de minimis shipments were unclear given FDA’s legacy CSMS messages on such low value shipments," it said.

CBP issued the following releases on commercial trade and related matters:
The Port of Seattle and the Base Metals Center of Excellence and Expertise will hold a seminar on "Steel Identification, Classification and Trade Law" on Aug.16 and 17, CBP said in a June 28 public bulletin. The seminar, which will include presentations from technical, commercial and legal experts from the industry, is meant to "increase the knowledge level" for government officials and customs brokers, it said. This seminar program "has been significantly modified, revised and restructured from previous seminar," it said.
CBP released notices about the delay to mandatory use of ACE for drawback and duty deferral entries and entry summaries (here), as well as changes to reconciliation and post-summary corrections and periodic monthly statements (here). All are "delayed until further notice," CBP said. The notices don't include any information about the delay beyond what CBP already announced this week (see 1706270049).
CBP said it created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1704 on June 28, containing 2,564 Automated Broker Interface records and 463 harmonized tariff records (here). CBP also said it is expecting a now unsigned presidential proclamation with changes to the Generalized System of Preferences to take effect July 1, but "we are unable to make the necessary modifications until the proclamation is official." The proclamation is unsigned "due to recent differences between the draft documentation and the final legislation," CBP said. The agency will update the system once the proclamation becomes official, it said. The White House issued a proclamation (here) after CBP sent out the CSMS message.
