Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

CBP Gives Guidance on ACE Drawback Claims Involving NAFTA, Citrus
February 8, 2017 |Customs

CBP provided some information on drawback claims for when ACE becomes mandatory for electronic filers. "Drawback manufacturing claims for export to Canada (CA) or Mexico (MX) under NAFTA must be filed based on the ’lesser of’ either the duty paid in the United States or the duty paid in the NAFTA country," CBP said in a CSMS message (here). "In cases where the final product exported to CA/MX was manufactured from more than one imported part, ACE Drawback is designed to allow for multiple line input in the 43 record (Import Revenue Claimed). In the claim amount field, the 'lesser of' duty amount paid should be allocated across each line. An even allocation is not necessary, so long as the amount totals the lesser duty amount claimed." The agency said in another CSMS message (here) that all "substitution unused merchandise drawback claims containing exports of citrus to Canada must be filed separately." CBP hasn't released a new date for the deployment of drawback and other post-release functions in ACE after it was delayed last month (see 1701110039).
