CBP Updates Draft Guidelines for TFTEA Drawback Programming in ACE
CBP posted on Jan. 26 an updated draft of the Customs and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR) guidelines for drawback procedures under the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act. The draft CATAIR is meant “to facilitate preparations for programming in advance of the forthcoming rulemaking,” CBP said. “The reader should be advised that this technical document is considered a DRAFT and is subject to revision before a final version is provided. Any decisions a reader makes based on this draft document are taken voluntarily and with the understanding that the draft may be revised,” it said.

CBP won't allow for accelerated payments of TFTEA drawback claims until final regulations take effect. The agency has yet to issue any rulemaking notices on the subject.
