                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 143--SPECIAL ENTRY PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart D--Electronic Entry Filing
 
Sec. 143.36  Form of immediate delivery, entry and entry summary.

    (a) Electronic form of data. If Customs determines that the 
immediate delivery, entry or entry summary data is satisfactory under 
Secs. 143.34 and 143.35, the electronic form of the immediate delivery, 
entry or entry summary through ABI shall be deemed to satisfy all filing 
requirements under this part. Further, the filer will not be required to 
produce or physically submit any official Customs forms of immediate 
delivery, entry or entry summary. The filer is responsible for the 
accuracy of the data submitted electronically to the same extent as if 
the documents were produced, signed and physically submitted by the 
filer (see Sec. 111.32 of this chapter).
    (b) Accuracy of data. Participation constitutes declaration by the 
electronic filer that, to the best of his knowledge, all transactions 
filed electronically fully disclose prices, values, quantities, rebates, 
drawbacks, fees, commissions, and royalties, which are true and correct, 
and that all goods or services provided either free or at a reduced cost 
to the seller of the merchandise are fully disclosed (see Sec. 111.32 of 
this chapter).
    (c) Submission of invoice. The invoice will be retained by the filer 
unless requested by Customs. If the invoice is submitted by the filer 
before a request is made by Customs, it will not be accepted or retained 
by Customs. When Customs requests presentation of the invoice, invoice 
data must be submitted in one of the following forms:
    (1) Paper form;
    (2) AII or EDIFACT format.
    (3) In appropriate cases where a party has obtained a 
preclassification/binding ruling number covering the merchandise being 
entered, or is a participant in a pre-approval program, and information 
is electronically transmitted which is adequate for the examination of 
the merchandise and the determination of duties, and for verifying the 
information required for statistical purposes by Sec. 141.61(e) of this 
chapter, such information will satisfy the invoice requirement of this 
part and part 141 of this chapter.
