CBP created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 2304 on March 9, containing 77 ABI records and 18 Harmonized Tariff Schedule records. These changes include additional Section 232 duties on imports of aluminum and derivative aluminum products from Russia and changes to HTS flagging. "With the upcoming ACE HTS deployment in May 2023, we recommend testing in ACE Certification," CBP said in a March 10 CSMS message.
CBP released a new frequently asked questions document on the upcoming Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Region Alert in ACE, set for deployment on March 18 (see 2212210041). Once it's in effect, “if no postal code is transmitted when it is flagged by the system as a required field, the record will remain in reject status and will not be accepted in the Cargo Release system,” CBP said in the FAQ. If an incorrect postal code is submitted, filers may transmit a replacement “R” or “C” record prior to the shipment’s arrival, the agency said. Importers should enter the street-level, rather than the city-level postal code, unless there is no postal code available for the specific street, CBP said.
CBP updated its recently issued guidance on upcoming entry summary filing requirements for aluminum to clarify the applicability of the new requirements to recycled aluminum. The updated guidance says that filers “may report ‘N/A’ for the primary and secondary country of smelt if the product contains only secondary aluminum and no primary aluminum. Secondary aluminum is defined as aluminum metal that is produced from recycled aluminum scrap through a re-melting process.” Beginning April 10, filers of entry summaries for aluminum products must include the primary and secondary countries of smelt and the country of cast to allow CBP to administer tariffs on Russian aluminum that also apply to third-country aluminum products that contain Russian aluminum (see 2303090060).
