1. Short Supply ("Commercially Unavailable") Designation under AGOA, CBTPA, and ATPDEA
CBP states that claims for short supply under HTS 9819.11.24 (AGOA), HTS 9820.11.27 (CBTPA), and HTS 9821.11.10/9821.11.13 (ATPDEA; for the second tariff number, only if its requirements are met) may be accepted on or after May 28, 2004, provided that the apparel articles meet certain requirements. (See notice for requirements.)
(See ITT's Online Archives or 06/01/04 news, 04060125, for BP summary of CITA's designation.) (TBT-04-019, dated 06/28/04, available at http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/import/textiles_and_quotas/tbts/TBT2004/tbt_04_019.ctt/tbt_04_019.doc)
2. Miscellaneous CBP Messages on AD and CV Duty Actions
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued messages on a number of antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CV) duty actions, many of which (marked by an * in the action column) were previously published in the Federal Register by the International Trade Administration (ITA) and summarized in International Trade Today.
(The CBP messages marked with an * cover much of the same information as the ITA notices; however, CBPs' messages often list the 10-character case number specific to each listed company(s). ITA notices only list the 7-character master case number. In addition, sometimes the master case number for CBP purposes (in parentheses, below, where applicable) differs from the ITA master case number.)
