Title: Documentation Requirements for Articles Entered Under
Various Special Tariff Treatment Provisions.
OMB Number: 1651-0067.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible
for determining whether imported articles that are classified under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
9801.00.10, 9802.00.20, 9802.00.25, 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, and
9802.00.60 are entitled to duty-free or reduced duty treatment. In
order to file under these HTSUS provisions, importers, or their agents,
must have the declarations that are provided for in 19 CFR 10.1(a),
10.8(a), and 10.9(a) in their possession at the time of entry and
submit them to CBP upon request. These declarations enable CBP to
ascertain whether the statutory conditions and requirements of these
HTSUS provisions have been satisfied. CBP proposes to add the
declaration filed under HTSUS 9817.00.40 in accordance with 19 CFR
10.121 to this information collection.
Current Actions: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this
information collection with a change to the burden hours resulting from

9817.00.40. There are no other changes to the information being
collected.
