CSMS # 64605146 - Update: Import Duties on Imports of Aluminum Derivative Products

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), as of March 12, 2025, inadvertently required imports under four Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) classifications, 8418.99.8010, 8418.99.8015, 8418.99.8020 and 8418.99.8025, to pay Section 232 duties under HTS 9903.85.08.

The functionality in ACE has been updated to no longer require the filer to transmit 9903.85.08 with 8418.99.8010, 8418.99.8015, 8418.99.8020 and 8418.99.8025 effective March 27, 2025.

Corrective Actions to be Taken:
Filers who entered goods on or after March 12, 2025, under the HTSUS listed above with 9903.85.08 and paid section 232 duties should file a PSC correcting the entry summary line(s) by removing 9903.85.08 to obtain refunds of duties paid.

PSCs can be filed on any unliquidated entries to request a refund of duties paid under a trade remedy. Once an entry has liquidated, a protest may be filed within 180 days of the date of liquidation.

Reminder: importers, brokers, and/or filers should refer to CSMS # 64018403 (Updated - Entry Summary Order of Reporting For Multiple Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) in ACE) for guidance when filing an entry summary in which a heading or subheading in Chapter 99 is claimed on imported merchandise.

For more information on Adjusting Imports of Aluminum into The United States, see 90 FR 9807 and 90 FR 11251.

For questions regarding Section 232 entry filing, contact the Trade Remedy Branch at TradeRemedy@cbp.dhs.gov.

If you encounter any errors in filing an entry summary, contact your CBP client representative or the ACE Help Desk.
