CBP Provides Update for Imports Qualifying for In-Transit Provision of Reciprocal Tariffs
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has provided a table on its IEEPA FAQs webpage which provides guidance for import entries that qualify for the in-transit provision under reciprocal tariffs and applies to vessels only.
“The importer is responsible for confirming a shipment qualifies for the in-transit provisions,” the agency said.
Specifically, the table provides additional guidance concerning the applicability of the in-transit provisions. The in-transit provisions for reciprocal tariffs only apply to the vessel mode of transportation and not apply to other modes of transportation such as air, rail, truck, etc., CBP said.
“The in-transit provisions do not apply when the shipment begins by vessel and then arrives in the United States using a different final mode of transportation, often referred to as transloading,” CBP said.
For entries transported other than by vessel that were filed using HTS 9903.01.28, filers should take “immediate action to correct such entries, as necessary, as soon as possible,” CBP said. For those entries that have been filed with CBP erroneously using HTS 9903.01.28, importers or their customs brokers should correct the entry summary by filing a post summary correction.
