                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES

 

   CHAPTER I--BUREAU OF CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION, DEPARTMENT OF 

        HOMELAND SECURITY; DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY (CONTINUED)

 

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 

Sec. Sec.  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.
