UPDATE on Section 301 China Reinstatement HTSUS Due to an error in programming, as of April 12, 2022, ACE inadvertently would not permit the transmittal of the required chapter 99 numbers for China Section 301 duty or China duty exclusions for several Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classifications. For HTSUS 8536.50.9065, as of April 17, 2022, the ACE programming has now been updated to allow the proper filing of the Section 301 requirements. For the following HTS, the functionality for the acceptance of the associated China Section 301 Chapter 99 duty or exclusion number will be available in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) on April 26, 2022: 0505.10.0050 8412.21.0045 8483.50.9040 8525.60.1010 8607.21.1000 Corrective actions to be taken: Importers who entered goods subject to China Section 301 under the HTSUS listed above on or after April 12, 2022 without an associated Chapter 99 number should file a Post Summary Correction (PSC) on or after the dates listed above correcting the entry summary line(s) by adding the associated Chapter 99 number to properly pay Section 301 duties or claim the exclusion to obtain refunds of duties paid. Reminder: importers, brokers, and/or filers should refer to CSMS 39587858 (Entry Summary Order of Reporting for Multiple HTSUS when 98 or 99 HTSUS are required) for guidance when filing an entry summary in which a heading or subheading in Chapter 99 is claimed on imported merchandise.
