CBP Administrative Messages, Web Postings, Etc
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued an administrative message stating that the Quota Preprocessing (QPP) program test has been extended until December 31, 2006 for apparel in HTS Chapters 61 and 62 that are subject to absolute quota. Under QPP, quota priority and status are determined prior to the arrival of the carrier. Merchandise subject to TPLs or TRQs are not eligible for QPP. (See ITT's Online Archives or 01/11/05 news, (Ref:0501115) for earlier BP summary.)

3. 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, CBP's 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.)
