CBP Administrative Messages, Web Postings, Etc.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has posted a notice to its Web site stating that the second tranche (opening) of the tariff rate quota (TRQ) for specialty sugar closed at opening moment on November 9, 2005. The pro-rata percentage is .5814 or 58.14%. For those receiving allocations, CBP states that the importer can determine how their allocation is distributed among eligible entries (see notice for details). Note that the other two tranches (TRQ allotments) for specialty sugar will open on March 15 and June 7, respectively. (See ITT's Online Archives or 10/20/05 news, 05102015 for BP summary of CBP notice on all four tranches.)

1. 2nd Specialty Sugar TRQ Closed at Opening Moment

2. Miscellaneous CBP Messages on AD and CV Duty Actions

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.)

The administrative messages listed above are availablefrom http://www.brokerpower.net/admin_messages/ (and can be searched by message number, country, product, etc.).
