    (a) When certain softwood lumber products described under Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 4407.1000, 
4409.1010, 4409.1090, and 4409.1020 are imported from Canada, import 
entry records are required to show a valid Canadian Province of 
Manufacture Code. The Canadian Province of Manufacture is determined on 
a first mill basis (the point at which the item was first manufactured 
into a covered lumber product). For purposes of determination,

[[Page 340]]

Province of Manufacture is the first province where the subject 
merchandise underwent a change in tariff classification to the tariff 
classes cited in this paragraph (a). The Province of Manufacture Code 
should replace the Country of Origin code on the CF 7501, Entry Summary 
form. For electronic Automated Broker Interface (ABI) entry summaries, 
the Canadian Province Code should be transmitted in positions 6-7 of the 
A40 records. These requirements apply only for imports of certain 
softwood lumber products for which the Country of Origin is Canada.
    (b) All other imports from Canada, including certain softwood lumber 
products not covered in paragraph (a) of this section, will require the 
two-letter designation of the Canadian Province of Origin to be reported 
on U.S. entry summary records. This information is required only for 
United States imports that under applicable Customs rules of origin are 
determined to originate in Canada. For nonmanufactured goods determined 
to be of Canadian origin, the Province of Origin is defined as the 
Province where the exported goods were originally grown, mined, or 
otherwise produced. For goods of Canadian origin that are manufactured 
or assembled in Canada, with the exception of the certain softwood 
lumber products described in paragraph (a) of this section, the Province 
of Origin is that in which the final manufacture or assembly is 
performed prior to exporting that good to the United States. In cases 
where the province in which the merchandise was manufactured or 
assembled or grown, mined, or otherwise produced is unknown, the 
province in which the Canadian vendor is located can be reported. For 
those reporting on paper forms the Province of Origin code replaces the 
country of origin code on the CF 7501, Entry Summary form.
    (c) All electronic Automated Broker Interface (ABI) entry summaries 
for imports originating in Canada also require the new Canadian Province 
of Origin code to be transmitted for each entry summary line item in the 
A40 record positions 6-7.
    (d) The Province of Origin code replaces the Country of Origin code 
only for imports that have been determined, under applicable Customs 
rules, to originate in Canada. Valid Canadian Province/Territory codes 
are:

XA--Alberta
XB--New Brunswick
XC--British Columbia
XM--Manitoba
XN--Nova Scotia
XO--Ontario
XP--Prince Edward Island
XQ--Quebec
XS--Saskatchewan
XT--Northwest Territories
XV--Nunavut
XW--Newfoundland
XY--Yukon
