CUSTOMS
DIRECTIVE
ORIGINATING OFFICE: CO:TO:E:CS DISTRIBUTION: See signature page
NUMBER: 099 3550-061
ISSUE DATE: SEPTEMBER 18, 1992
SUBJECT: INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF CF 7501
1.
PURPOSE
To provide revisions and updated instructions for the preparations of Customs
Form 7501.
2. BACKGROUND
On September 28, 1984, Customs Directive 3550-03 established implementation
guidelines and instructions for the completion of the revised Customs Form
7501. The use of the revised CF 7501 became effective March 1, 1985. On
July 23, 1985, change #1 to Customs Directive #3550-03 was issued outlining
numerous alterations to the instructions for the completion of the CF 7501.
On May 24, 1989, Customs Directive 3550-33 was issued. This directive provided
revised instructions for preparation of the CF 7501 and superseded Customs
Directive 3550-03 and its amendments.
Subsequent to the publication of Customs Directive 3550-33, extensive change
requirements have occurred relative to completion of the CF 7501. This
has precipitated the need for the issuance of a new directive.
3. ACTION
This new directive encompasses substantially the same points as Customs
Directive 3550-33, with the addition of the change requirements. For ease
of reference, these change requirements are displayed in bold print.
Attached to this Directive is a copy of the CF 7501 and instructions for
its completion. All ports will accept CF 7501's completed in accordance
with these instructions. No additional information or agenda may be required
on the CF 7501 by any region, district, area, or port, without the express
written approval of Customs Headquarters. It is essential that uniformity
in the preparation and acceptance of the 7501 be maintained.
4. RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of all Regional Commissioners, District, Area,
and Port Directors, to assure compliance with this Directive. District/Area
directors should make the information contained in this directive available
to all persons conducting Customs business.
5. SUPERSEDED MATERIAL

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF CF 7501
ALL PORTS WILL ACCEPT CF 7501'S COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
CONTAINED HEREIN. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR AGENDA MAY BE REQUIRED ON
THE CF 7501 BY ANY REGION, DISTRICT, AREA, OR PORT, WITHOUT THE EXPRESS
WRITTEN APPROVAL OF CUSTOMS HEADQUARTERS. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT UNIFORMITY
IN THE PREPARATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE CF 7501 BE MAINTAINED. THE INSTRUCTIONS
CONTAINED HEREIN ARE APPLICABLE TO BOTH CONSUMPTION AND WAREHOUSE ENTRY
SUMMARIES AND ENTRY/ENTRY SUMMARIES.
1.
ENTRY NUMBER
Record
the 11 digit alphanumeric
code. Always begin with the
three digit code assigned
to the filer, followed by
the seven digit number, and
finally, the one digit check
digit. Due to a space limitation
in this block, the three
character entry filer code
is to be printed outside
and immediately to the left
of this block. The assigned
entry number, with hyphen
and check digit, is to be
shown inside the block. See
example below.
Entry Filer Code XXX Entry No.
NNNNNNN-N
XXX represents the three character alphanumeric filer code assigned to
the broker or importer by Customs.
NNNNNNN represents the seven digit number assigned by the filer. The number
may be assigned in any manner convenient, provided that the same number
is not assigned to more than one CF 7501. Leading zeros must be shown.
N represents the check digit which is computed on the previous 10 characters.
Detailed instructions concerning the entry number are contained in Customs
Directive 3500-08, dated June 19, 1986, (Customs), and Customs Directive
3500-058, dated September 10, 1991. The formula for computing the check
digit is included in this issuance as Appendix A.
An entry number, in this format, is required on all broker/importer prepared
informal (which require a CF 7501) and warehouse entries.
Where the entry summary covers more than one release (consolidated entry
summary), refer to the instructions on page 28 of this directive.
Where the entry summary consists of more than one page, record the entry
number on the first page of the CF 7501, as well as on each additional
page.
2.
ENTRY TYPE CODE
Record
the appropriate entry type
code by selecting the two
digit code for the type of
entry summary being filed.
The first digit of the code
identifies the general category
of the entry (i.e., consumption
=0, informal =1, warehouse
=2, etc.). The second digit
further defines the specific
processing type within the
entry category. Therefore,
a consumption quota entry
should be recorded under
code 02, an informal free
or dutiable entry under code
11, etc.
Automated Broker Interface (ABI) processing requires an ABI status indicator.
This indicator must be recorded in block 2 following the two digit entry
type code. It is to be shown for those entry summaries with ABI status
only, and must be shown in one of the following formats:
(1) ABI/S = ABI statement entry summaries paid by check or cash
(2) ABI/A = ABI statement entry summaries paid through the Automated Clearinghouse
(ACH)
(3) ABI/N = ABI non-statement entry summaries
(4) ABI/P = ABI periodic payment statement entry
summaries (this capability not yet operational)
Note: Either a slash (/) or hyphen (-) may be used to separate ABI from
the indicator (i.E., ABI/S or ABI-S).
If an entry/entry summary (live entry) is presented, an additional indicator
is required to be shown in the following formats:
(1) ABI/A/L = ABI statement live entry summaries paid through ACH
(2) ABI/N/L = ABI non-statement live entry summaries
(3) ABI/P/L = ABI periodic payment statement live entry summaries
(4) "LIVE" or "L" for non-ABI entry summaries
An entry/entry summary is considered "LIVE" when duties are deposited
and which results in release of the merchandise.
Note: The word "ACH" is no longer required to be written in the
upper right hand corner of the CF 7501.

ENTRY SUMMARY DATE
This
block is to record the date
the entry summary is filed
with Customs (six digit numeric
code showing month, day,
and year - MMDDYY). The record
copy of the entry summary
will be time stamped by the
filer at the time of presentation
of the entry summary. In
the case of entry summaries
submitted on an ABI Statement,
only the statement is required
to be time stamped.
This block should not be printed or typed prior to presentation of the
entry/entry summary. Use of this field is optional for ABI statement entries.
The time stamp mandated by Customs Directive #3550-24 date September 8,
1987, entitled "Entry Summary and Entry/Entry Summary Flow" will
serve as the entry summary date. This mandate was also published as Treasury
Decision 88-27.
The filer will record the proper import specialist team number designation
in the upper right portion of this block (three character team number code).
For ABI entry summaries, the team number is supplied by ACS in the summary
processing output message.
All dates required to be shown on the CF 7501 may use slashes, dashes,
and spaces.
4.
ENTRY DATE
Record
the six digit numeric code:
month, day, and year (MMDDYY).
Normally, it is the date
the goods are released except
for immediate delivery, quota
goods, or where importer/broker
requests another date prior
to release (see 19 CFR 141.68).
It is the responsibility of the filer to ensure that the entry date shown
for entry/entry summaries is the date of presentation (i.e., the time stamp
date).
5.
PORT CODE
Record
the four digit numeric code
of the U.S. port where the
merchandise was entered under
an entry or released under
an immediate delivery permit.
U.S. port codes can be found
in Annex C of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule. The port
code should be shown as follows:
NNN (no spaces or hyphens)
Do not show the name of the port instead of the numeric code.
6.
BOND NUMBER
Record
the three digit numeric code
that identifies the surety
company on the bond. This
code number can be found
in block #7 of the Customs
Form 301/Customs Bond. This
code number is also available
through ACS to ABI filers,
via the importer bond query
transaction. For U.S. Government
importations and entry types
not requiring surety, the
code 999 should appear in
this block. When cash or
Government securities are
used in lieu of surety, use
code 998.
7.
BOND TYPE CODE
Record
the single digit numeric
code as follows:
0 - U.S. Government or entry types not requiring a bond
8 - Continuous
9 - Single Transaction
Bond type "0" should be used in conjunction with surety code "999" for
government entries secured by stipulation cited in C.R. 10.101(d).
Bond type "8" or "9", as appropriate, should be used
in conjunction with surety code "998" when cash or government
securities are deposited in lieu of surety.
Bond type "9" should be used in conjunction with surety code "999" when
surety has been waived in accordance with C.R. 142.4 (c).
8.
BROKER/IMPORTER FILE NO.
This
block is reserved for a broker's
or importer's internal file
or reference number.
9.
ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE NAME AND
ADDRESS
For
a period of 90 days from
the date of issuance of this
directive, record the name
and address of the individual
or firm for whose account
the merchandise is shipped.
If this information is the
same as the importer of record,
leave blank. Effective on
the 91st day from the date
of issuance of this directive,
record the name and address
of the individual or firm
purchasing the merchandise
or, if a consigned shipment
to whom the merchandise is
consigned, or if those parties
are not known, to whose premises
the merchandise is being
shipped. If this information
is the same as the importer
of record, leave blank.
In the space provided for indicating the state, report the ultimate state
of destination of the imported merchandise, as known at the time of entry
summary filing. If the contents of the shipment are destined to more than
one state or if the entry summary represents a consolidated shipment, report
the state of destination with the greatest aggregate value. If, in either
case, this information is unknown, the state of the ultimate consignee,
or the state where the entry is filed, in that order, should be reported.
However, before either of these alternatives are used, a good faith effort
should be made by the entry filer to ascertain the state where the imported
merchandise will be delivered. In all cases, the state code reported should
be derived from the standard postal two-letter state or territory abbreviation.
The reporting of the ultimate state of destination was made mandatory for
all entry summaries and entry/entry summaries filed on or after July 1,
1991.
NOTE: A list of two-letter U.S. Postal Service state and territory codes
are listed as Appendix F to this issuance.
To facilitate mailing of requests and/or notices on Customs Form 28 or
29 to a party other than the importer of record, the following alternate
procedure shall be used. Where this block is modified by the legend "c/o" followed
by the name and address of a different party, Customs Form 28 or 29 will
be sent to the name and address that follows the "c/o" legend.
The broker's copy will continue to be sent to the broker when they are
involved (Manual Supplement 2112- 04, 9/22/78).
10.
CONSIGNEE NUMBER
Record
the IRS, Social Security,
or Customs assigned number
of the consignee. This number
must reflect a valid identification
number filed with Customs

number, the word "SAME" may
be used in lieu of repeating
the importer of record number.
Only the following formats shall be used:
IRS Number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . NN-NNNNNNN
IRS Number with suffix . . . . . . . NN-NNNNNNNXX

transformation. For purposes of reporting on the CF 7501 only, whenever
merchandise has been returned to the U.S. after undergoing either repair,
alteration, or assembly under HTS heading 9802, the country of origin should
be shown as the country in which the repair, alteration, or assembly was

in this issuance as Appendix
D.
If the carrier file does not contain a specific air carrier's code, write
the Designation "*C" for Canadian airlines,, "*F" for
other foreign airlines, and "*U" for U.S. airlines.
These designations should be used only for unknown charter and private
aircraft. When a private aircraft (HTS 8801.90.0000, 8802.20.0040, 8802.20.0050,
8802.20.0060, 8802.20.0080, 8802.30.0030, 8802.30.0040, 8802.30.0050, 8802.30.0060,

is being entered under its own power (ferried), the designation "**" will
be used.
For merchandise arriving in the U.S. by means of transportation other than
vessel or air, leave blank.
Do not record the name of a domestic carrier transporting merchandise after
initial lading in the U.S.
For merchandise arriving in the U.S. Customs territory from a U.S. Foreign

merchandise arriving in the
U.S. by vessel, record the
five digit numeric code listed
in the Department of Commerce
Schedule K for the foreign
port at which the merchandise
was actually laden on the
vessel that carried the merchandise
to the U.S. (NOTE: A January
1, 1991 edition of the Schedule
K listing is included in
this issuance as Appendix
E). If the foreign port of
lading is not provided for
by name in the Schedule K,
use the code for "all
other ports" for the
port of foreign lading for
the country.
For merchandise entering the U.S. Custom territory from a U.S. Foreign
Trade Zone, leave blank.
When a single entry summary covers merchandise laden at more than one foreign
port, place the word "MULTI" in this block and record the foreign
port of lading separately in column #28 directly below the line number
of each line item (or group of line items if segregated by invoice) for
the merchandise laden at each foreign port (where there are multiple ports
of lading and also multiple countries of origin, see instructions under
block 15). If both code numbers will be required for one line number, place
the country of origin code directly below the line number and place the
port o lading code directly under the country of origin code.
If merchandise is transported by a mode of transportation other than vessel,
leave blank.
25.
LOCATION OF GOODS/G.O. NUMBER
Where
the entry summary serves
as entry/entry summary record
the pier or site where the
goods are available for examination.
For air shipments, record
the flight number. Where
FIRMS codes are available,
they may be used in lieu
of pier/site.
In the case of merchandise placed in general order, record the number assigned
by Customs in the following format:
G.O.
NNNNNNNNNNNN
In
the case of goods placed
in a bonded warehouse, record
the name of the bonded warehouse
where the goods will be delivered
(or record the Customs assigned
number for the bonded warehouse
in this block when available).
In the case where the entry summary serves as a warehouse entry/entry summary,
record the pier or site where the goods are available for examination followed
by the name of the bonded warehouse where the goods will be delivered (or
the Customs assigned number). The use of the Facilities Information and
Resources Management System (FIRMS) code in lieu of the pier/site/name
of location is acceptable.
26.
U.S. PORT OF UNLADING
For
merchandise imported by vessel
or air, record the four digit
numeric Schedule D code which
identifies the U.S. port
at which the merchandise
was unladen from the importing
vessel or aircraft (NOTE:
A list of the Schedule D
port codes is included in
the HTS as Annex A). Do not
show the name of the port
of unlading instead of the
numeric code.
For merchandise arriving in the U.S. by means of transportation other than
vessel or air, leave blank.
For merchandise arriving in the U.S. Customs territory from a U.S. Foreign
Trade Zone, leave blank.
27.
IMPORT DATE
For
merchandise arriving in the
U.S. by vessel, record the
month, day, year (MMDDYY)
on which the importing vessel
transporting the merchandise
from the foreign country
arrived within the limits
of the U.S. port with the
intent to unlade.
For merchandise arriving in the U.S. other than by vessel, record the month,
day, and year (MMDDYY) in which the merchandise arrived within the limits
of the U.S.
For merchandise moving from a Foreign Trade Zone to a bonded warehouse
in the U.S. Customs territory, report the date of importation. For merchandise
entering the U.S. Customs territory for consumption from a Foreign Trade
Zone, leave blank.
28.
LINE NUMBER
Record
the appropriate line number,
in sequence, beginning with
the number 001.
A "line number" refers to a commodity from one country, covered
by a line which includes a net quantity, entered value, HTS number, charges,
and rate of duty and tax. However, some line numbers may actually include
more than one HTS number and value. For example, many items found in Chapter
98, of the HTS require a dual HTS number. Articles assembled abroad with
American components require the HTS number 9802.00.80 along with the appropriate
reporting number of the provision in chapters 1 through 97. Also, many
items in chapter 91 of the HTS require as many as four HTS numbers. Watches
classifiable under subheading 9101.11.40, for example, require that the
appropriate reporting number and duty rate be shown separately forthe movement,
case, strap, band or bracelet and thebattery. A separate line number is
required for each commodity which is the subject of a Customs bindingruling.
For formatting, see the instructions in item#30A of this directive.
For multiple elements in blocks 13, 14, 15, and 24, see specific instructions
for those items.
29.
DESCRIPTION OF MERCHANDISE
A
description of the articles
in sufficient detail to permit
the classification thereof
under the proper statistical
reporting number in the HTS
should be reported across
the top of block 30 to 32.
The standard definitions
from HTS tape extracts from
the Customs HTS data base
are acceptable for this requirement.
30.
A. HTS NUMBER
Record
the appropriate HTS 10-digit
duty/statistical reporting
number along with the check
digit if one is used (check
digits are required on all
10-digit numbers; 8-digit
numbers, such as those in
Chapter 99 of the HTS, do
not require check digits).
This number should be left
justified. Decimals are to
be used in the 10- digit
duty/statistical reporting
number exactly as they appear
in the HTS. The check digit
is not to be separated by
a dash or decimal. An example
of the correct presentation
of the duty/statistical reporting
number would be as follows:
4012.10.20002
If
more than one HTS number
is required, follow the reporting
instructions in the statistical
headnote in the appropriate
HTS section or chapter.
Where a reporting number is preceded by an alpha character designating
a special program (i.e., GSP="A", CBI="E", Folklore="F",
etc.), that indicator is to be placed in column 28, directly below the
line number. The special program indicator (SPI) should be right justified
immediately preceding, and on the same line as the HTS number to which
it applies. If more than one HTS number is required for that line item,
the special program indicator is to be placed on the same line as the HTS
number upon which the rate of duty is based. If more than one special program
indicator is used, the primary indicator, that is, the one establishing
the rate of duty, will be shown first, followed by a period and the secondary
special programs indicator immediately following: (e.g., CA.F). If "MULTI" was
recorded in block 13, 14 and/or 15, the appropriate exporting country,
export date and/or country of origin data is to be shown in column 28 below
the special program indicator.
For each item covered by a binding tariff classification ruling, report
the ruling number (provided in the applicable ruling letter) directly below
the HTS number of the appropriate line item. Precede the binding tariff
classification ruling number with the abbreviation "RLNG". For
an item(s) classified under the same tariff classification number, but
not specifically covered by the binding tariff classification ruling, provide
a separate line item breakout for those item(s).
For an item(s) covered by a tariff classification pre-approval authorization
(obtained via participation in the Pre-Importation Review Program), report
the pre-approval indicator (provided in the pre-approval letter) in column
30 directly below the HTS number of the appropriate line item. The pre-approval
indicator should be left justified in column 30 and, if necessary, may
extend into column 31. Precede the pre-approval indicator with the abbreviation "INDCTR".
For multi-line entry summaries, where the pre-approval indicator applies
to all line items on the CF 7501, report the pre-approval indicator on
the first line only.
For those line items that require the reporting of more than one data element
(i.e. category number and/or manufacturer identification number) in this
same area, the hierarchy should be as follows:
Category
Number
Manufacturer Identification Number
Binding Tariff Classification Ruling Number
or Ruling Number
The
correct format for reporting
a binding tariff classification
ruling number or pre-approval
indicator are listed below,
respectively:
RLNG
654321
INDCTR 356780
For
sets which are classifiable
in accordance with General
Rules of Interpretation (GRI)
3(b) or 3(c) of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule, report in
column 30 the HTS number
from which the rate of duty
for the set is derived. Precede
this number with an SPI of "X".
Report with that part of
the shipment so classified,
the total value, quantity
and charges associated with
the shipment as well as all
applicable duties, taxes,
and fees in the appropriate
columns of the CF 7501. In
addition, each article in
the set (including the article
designated with a prefix
of "X") should
be reported on a separate
line as if it were separately
classified. Precede these
HTS numbers with an SPI of "V".
Report the quantity and value
attributed to each article
associated with the "V" SPI.
Also, all other reporting
requirements including, but
not limited to, quota, visa,
licensing, and other government
agency requirements, should
be reported along with the
appropriate HTS number preceded
with an SPI of "V".
Both the "X" and "V" should
be right justified in column
28, immediately preceding,
and on the same line as the
HTS number to which it applies.
Attached are two CF 7501
samples indicating the correct
format to be used for entry
summaries of sets classifiable
in accordance with GRI 3(b)
or 3(c).
B. ANTIDUMPING/COUNTERVAILING DUTY CASE NUMBER
Record, directly below the HTS number, the appropriate antidumping/countervailing
duty case number(s) as assigned by the Department of Commerce, International
Trade Administration. The following format shall be used:
A000-000-000
-or- A-000-000-000 (AD)
C000-000-000 -or- C-000-000-000 (CVD)
When
bonding is permitted and
used, record the phrase "Surety
Code" and the surety
number [e.g., (SURETY #)].
If cash or government securities
are deposited in lieu of
surety, record "Surety
#998".
Do not record the column 30 heading letters "A" (TSUSA No.) or "B" (CVD/ADD
Case No.) before the HTS number or antidumping/countervailing duty case
number.
C. CATEGORY NUMBER
Record, in block 30 directly below the HTS number, the textile category
for each separate line as indicated in the HTS for which a textile category
number is shown in the following format:
"C
NNN" -or- "CAT
NNN"
31.
A. GROSS WEIGHT
Record
the gross shipping weight
in kilograms for articles
imported by ALL modes of
transportation. Reporting
of the gross shipping weight
for articles imported by
all modes of transportation
was required as of July 1,
1989, as a direct result
of an agreement reached between
the United States and Canada
to exchange import data.
The gross weight must be
reported on the same line
with the entered value. In
cases where more than one
value is shown on a line
item, record the gross weight
on the same line as the first
tariff number for the line
item. Supply separate gross
weight information for each
line number. If the gross
weight is not available for
each number, the approximate
shipping weight for each
item shall be estimated and
reported. The total of these
estimated weights should
equal the actual gross shipping
weight. For multi-line summaries,
the grand total gross weight
need not be shown. In the
case of containerized cargo
carried in lift vans, cargo
vans, or similar substantial
outer containers, the weight
of such container should
not be included in the gross
weight of the merchandise
covered by each line item.
B. MANIFEST QUANTITY
When the CF 7501 is used in lieu of a CF 3461, insert the manifest quantity
covered by the informal entry by Bill of Lading/AWB number, using the smallest
exterior package unit. Insert the total quantities being entered without
regard to package type. For example, if the entry covers 10 cartons and
10 bales on 1 bill of lading, insert the number "20" in column
31. If there are multiple bills, insert the quantity adjacent to the B/L
or AWB number across the top of column 30 to 32 or on a separate attachment.
Do not record the letter "A" or "B" shown in block
31 before the gross shipping weight or manifest quantity
32.
NET QUANTITY IN HTS UNITS
When
a unit of quantity is specified
in the HTS for the item number,
report the net quantity in
the specified unit, and show
the unit after the net quantity
figure.
Record quantities in whole numbers for statistical purposes unless fractions
of units are required for other Customs purposes. When expressing fractions,
decimals only shall be used.
If no unit of quantity is specified in the HTS for the item number, leave
blank.
If two units of quantity are shown for the item number in the HTS, report
the net quantity for both with the unit of quantity indicated in each case.
Insert the quantity in terms of the unit marked in the HTS with a superior "v" on
the line with the entered value. Show the quantity in terms of any other
unit below the first quantity. Example: Shipment consists of 50 dozen all
white T-Shirts, weighing 1 kilo per dozen and valued at $10 per dozen.
Report as follows:

A. ENTERED VALUE
Record
the U.S. dollar value in
accordance with the definition
in Section 402, Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C.
1401a) for all merchandise.
This value shall be shown for each HTS item number on the same line with
the item number where a value is required.
If the value required for assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties
is different from the Entered Value, record in parentheses the amount in
this column, on the same line as the antidumping or countervailing duty
case number and rate.
Report the value in whole dollars rounded off to the nearest whole dollar
(if the total entered value for a line item is less than $.50, report as "0").
Dollar signs shall be omitted.
Effective November 1, 1990, report the total entered value for all line
items at the bottom of the first page of the CF 7501 in column #33. This
information is required to be reported on all entry summaries, Non-ABI
as well as ABI. A CF 7501 sample format showing the proper placement of
the entered value is attached.
B. CHARGES (CHGS)
In accordance with HTS General Statistical Note 1 (a)(XIV), record the
aggregate cost (not including U.S. import duty, if any) in U.S. dollars
of freight, insurance and all other costs, charges and expenses incurred
in bringing the merchandise from alongside the carrier at the foreign port
of exportation in the country of exportation and placing it alongside the
carrier at the first U.S. Port of entry. Effective July 1, 1989, record
charges for shipments arriving in the U.S. by ALL modes of transportation.
For overland shipments from Canada or Mexico, foreign inland freight will
be reported as charges.
This value shall be shown in whole numbers for each HTS item number beneath
the entered value and identified with the letter "C" (e.g. C550).
Dollar signs should be omitted.
Charges are required for each line item valued over $1250, and in certain
special cases for each line item valued over $250. The HTS provisions which
require charges be shown for each line item valued over $250 are included
in this issuance as Appendix G.
Charges are not required to be reported for merchandise entered by mode
of transportation #60 (passenger, hand carried).
C. RELATIONSHIP
Record whether the transaction was between related parties as defined in
Section 402(g)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, by placing a "Y" in
the column for related and an "N" for not related (the words "related" and "not
related" may be used in lieu of "Y" or "N"). "Y" or "N" may
be recorded once, at the top of column 33, when applicable to the entire
transaction or may be recorded with each line item below entered value
and charges. "Y" or "N" must be recorded with each
line item when the relationship differs for line items.
Do not record the letter "A", "B", or "C" shown
in block 33 before the entered value, charges, or relationship.
34.
A. HTS RATE
Record
the rate(s) of duty for the
classified item as designated
in the HTS: free, ad valorem,
specific, or compound.
B. ANTIDUMPING/COUNTERVAILING DUTY RATE
Record the antidumping and/or countervailing duty rate(s) as designated
by the Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, directly
opposite the respective AD/CVD case number(s) shown in column 30.
When bonding is permitted and used, follow the instructions shown in item
#30(B) of this directive.
C. I.R.C. RATE
Record the tax rate(s) for the classified item as designated in the HTS,
or record the Customs approved metric conversion tax rate.
If I.R. tax is deferred, precede I.R.C. rate with "DEF". Show
the amount in column 35 and in block 38 but do not include in the "Total" in
block 40.
Deferred I.R. tax under 26 U.S.C. 5232(a) should be identified as "IRS
DEF, 5232(a)", at the bottom of columns 33 and 34 on the first page
of the CF 7501. The deferred IR tax amount should not be shown in column
35, block 38, or block 40.
D. VISA NUMBER
Record the letter "V" followed by the visa number for each line
of merchandise as it appears on the document with the visa if the products
are exported from a country with a textile visa system as noted in the
Customs Service "Status Reported on Current Import Quotas (Restraint
Levels)." Certain countries, as designated in the "Visa Footnotes" section
of the report, use standardized visa numbers.
The standardized number consists of nine alpha/numeric characters in the
following format: NXXNNNNNN. The first character is the last digit of the
year of exportation of the merchandise from the country of origin. The
second and third characters are the two letter ISO code of the country
of origin (Appendix C). The last six characters are the six digit visa
number as shown on the visa document. For example, for merchandise exported
from the Peoples Republic of China (the PRC or, as shown in Appendix C,
China (Mainland)), exported in 1991 from the PRC, with visa number 123456,
the standardized visa number would be 1CN123456. In this example, the standardized
visa number would begin with "1" even though the merchandise
was subsequently shipped through Hong Kong but not exported from Hong Kong
until 1992.
Only one Visa number may apply to a single line. If a line has merchandise
covered by more than one visa, then separate lines must be provided for
each Visa number.
When textile merchandise is subject to quota, the date of exportation from
the origin country must be reported in addition to the date of exportation
from the country of exportation (in accordance with the textile regulations,
19 C.F.R.12.130-1). It will be reported in column 34, under the visa number,
if applicable, for each line number affected. Date of exportation from
the exporting country will continue to be reported in block 14.
E. OTHER FEES
In the event there is any other fee, charge or exaction not enumerated
above, record the rate in this column and identify each fee, charge or
exaction across columns 30, 31, and 32 and on the same line as such rate.
Examples include the beef fee, honey fee, pork fee, cotton fee, harbor
maintenance fee (HMF), sugar fee, and merchandise processing fee (MPF).
All fees, with the exception of the HMF, are to be reported at the line
item level. The HMF may be shown either at the line item level or once
at the bottom of the summary on the same line as the total entered value.
There is no de minimis collection for the MPF. A minimum of $21 and a maximum
of $400 is due on each formal entry, release or withdrawal from warehouse
for consumption. Report the total amount of actual MPF due in the block
39 summary. However, if this actual amount due is less than $21, report
the MPF in the block 39 summary as $21. If the actual amount of MPF due
is more than $400, report the MPF in the block 39 summary as $400. There
is a de minimis on the HMF if this is the only payment due on the entry
summary and the total amount of HMF is $3 or less. When this is the case,
the grand total user fee in the block 39 summary should be reported as
the total fee amount of all line items, but the amount in box 39 itself
should be reported as $0.00.
Pursuant to Article 403 of the United States-
Canada Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF)
assessment shall be reduced 20 percent per year, until it is zero, on goods
originating in the territory of Canada. This reduced MPF will be available
only to those goods which meet the rules of origin criteria outlined in
chapter three of the CFTA. To obtain the reduced MPF, the importer must
claim it on the CF 7501. If the HTS number has the symbol "CA" indicated
in the special duty rate column and the importer claims "CA" as
a SPI, then the reduced MPF and the special duty rate are applicable. The
reduced user fee also applies to those HTS numbers for which "CA" is
not shown as an SPI, provided the merchandise meets the rules or origin
criteria of the CFTA. In order to obtain the reduced user fee in those
instances, prefix the HTS number with the symbol "CA". If the
special duty rate column contains a "B" or both a "B" and "CA" and
the importer wishes to claim the benefits of the "B" and the
reduced MPF, precede the HTS number with the symbol "B#". If
the special duty rate column contains a "C" or both a "C" and "CA" and
the importer wishes to claim the benefits of the "C" and the
reduced user fee, precede the HTS number with the symbol "C#".
The schedule for the reduced MPF rate to be shown in column 34 of the CF
7501 is as follows:
Calender Year 1990 - .136% (80% of MPF)
Calender Year 1991 - .102% (60% of MPF)
Calender Year 1992 - .068% (40% of MPF)
Calender Year 1993 - .034% (20% of MPF)
Note: The instructions in item #30A of this directive regarding the placement
and formatting of SPI's apply to the above as well.
Do not record the letter "A", "B", "C", or "D" shown
in block 34 before the HTS rate, antidumping/countervailing duty rate,
I.R.C. rate, or visa number.
F. AGRICULTURE LICENSE NUMBER
For merchandise subject to agriculture licensing, report the license number
in column 34 directly below the tariff rate for that line item.
The license number will consist of a ten space field. The two acceptable
formats are as follows:
(1) N-AA-NNN-N or (2) N-AB-NNN-N
(1-cc-234-5) (1-c -234-5)
The letters N and A represent numeric and alphabetic characters respectively.
The letter B represents a blank space. For format #1, the first position
is the license type. The third and fourth positions are the commodity type
code. Positions six through eight represent the license serial number.
The tenth position is the license year. Positions two, five and nine are
hyphens. Format #2 is identical to the above except position four is blank.
35.
DUTY AND I.R. TAX
Record
the estimated HTS duty, antidumping
duty, countervailing duty,
I.R. tax, and any other fees
or charges calculated by
applying the rate times the
dutiable value or quantity.
The amount shown in this
column must be directly opposite
the appropriate HTS rate(s),
antidumping duty rate, countervailing
duty rate, I.R. rate and
other fees or charges. This
includes those instances
where bonding is permitted
for antidumping and countervailing
duty. Where bonding is accomplished,
enclose the CVD/ADD amounts
in parentheses. Where I.R.
tax is deferred under 26
U.S.C. 5232(a), leave blank.
(See instructions under 34
C.) Dollar signs shall be
omitted.
36.

reflect the amounts actually
being paid.
For entries subject to payment of antidumping duties, countervailing duties
and/or any of the various fees, each applicable fee must be indicated in
the area encompassed by block 30 through 32, which will serve as the "Block
39 Summary", and the individual amount of each fee must be shown on
the corresponding line in block 32. Countervailing and/or Antidumping duty
amounts are to be included in the summary only when they are actually deposited.
Bonded amounts should not be included. The Block 39 Summary must be on
the first page if the entry summary consists of more than one page.
The applicable collection code must be indicated on the same line as the
fee or other charge or exaction.
Report the fees in the format below:

the declarant, title, and date must be recorded on the first page. Facsimile
signatures are acceptable when prior approval has been obtained in writing
from Customs.
SUMMARY OF ENTERED VALUE/CURRENCY CONVERSION
The summary of entered value and currency conversion (if appropriate) may
be shown on a worksheet attached to the entry summary or across columns
30 and 31 just above block 36. On a multi-page entry summary, show the
summary of entered values on the last page following the last line item.
If an importer/broker prepares his line items by invoice (i.e., groups
line items by invoice), he may prepare his summary of values for each invoice
in lieu of a grand summation at the end of the entry summary.
INFORMAL ENTRY
Informal entries may be made on the CF 7501. The following blocks are to
be completed for informal entries where applicable: 1, 2, 5, 11, 12, 13,
15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30A, 31A, 31B, 32, 33A, 34A, 34C, 35,
36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and 41. If an informal entry is filed on the CF 7501,
the entry number must always be shown in block #1.
However, when the CF 7501 is used as an informal entry, the importer number,
block 12, need not be provided even though the block number is circled
