FTZ Management: Reports - Aluminum Smelt and Cast
Proclamation 10522 has been issued that requires new Aluminum Smelt and Cast Requirements for importers. These new data elements are required on the Entry Summary and guidance from CBP has been provided in CSMS 55438432. Please review these two documents to see if any of your products fall under the new reporting requirements (CSMS 55701614).
We have created menu options for you to key in the new data elements at the time of Entry Summary filing.
- FTZ Self-Filer – if you fill out the new data elements in the menu, the data will automatically be transmitted to CBP when you transmit your 7501.
- FTZ Broker Filer -
- Standard 7501 ACE CATAIR Interface to your broker – if you fill out the new data elements in the menu, the data will automatically be transmitted to your broker when you transmit your 7501. If your broker is not ready to accept this new data in the feed yet, simply do not fill out the new data fields in the menu option and your file will not change. You will, however, need your broker to transmit the new data to CBP for you. Please communicate with your broker to see what they would like you to do.
- Custom/Non-Standard 7501 Interface to your broker – your interface will not be automatically updated with the new fields, because your broker will need to communicate how they would like to receive the new data in the file. This will need to be an SOW to make the non-standard update and test the new format between ONESOURCE and your broker. If you fill out the new data elements in the menu, the data will not automatically be transmitted to your broker until this happens. You will need to work with your broker to have them transmit the new data to CBP for you, until the SOW to update your Custom/Non-Standard 7501 Interface is complete.
For FTZ filers, the menus will show you all potentially applicable products on an un-generated (unprinted) entry that fall under the HTS listed by CBP. Based on the guidance provided and the data within the application, we are not able to indicate whether you must file for every part that shows in this new screen, but we have provided you the means to do so, should you wish to report.
note
We have not currently created any validations, as we are still learning all the requirements from CBP. We do not want to hamper or force any filings until there is more knowledge about these updates.
The two screens allow you to apply the same data to multiple lines, so you do not need to key this for every line, just every combination you need to file. If a line requires no reporting, do not select that line, or fill out any data.
- Aluminum – NPF and PF Components: for non-manufactured parts or PF components of manufactured parts.
- Aluminum – NPF Manufactured FG: for Finished Good parts that are classified with the impacted HTS and have NPF components under it with the impacted HTS. The FG HTS is what is reported, but we will show you all the NPF/PF components under it with the impacted HTS to help you research what you need to report.
These two menu options can be found under the Reports menu.
To apply the data to lines that require reporting:
note
Both Aluminum – NPF and PF Components and Aluminum – NPF Manufactured FG screens have the same procedure and can follow the instructions described below.
- Check the boxes of the entry lines you want to apply the same data to.
- Hover your cursor to the Action option and click Aluminum Smelt and Cast Requirements.
- A pop-up will appear that alerts you that data will be applied. ClickOKif you wish to proceed.
- The User Input pop-up will appear. On the column Input, click the dropdowns to select a country to each of the messages described below.
MessagesActionPrimary Country of Smelt- Report the country where the largest volume of new aluminum metal is produced from alumina (or aluminum oxide) by the electrolytic Hall-Héroult process.
- Filers may report “N/A” for the primary country of smelt if the product contains only secondary aluminum and no primary aluminum. Secondary aluminum is defined as aluminum metal that is produced from recycled aluminum scrap through a re-melting process.
- Products of the U.S. are not covered by the countries of smelt reporting requirements. Until further notice, for products of the U.S., filers may report “N/A” for the countries of smelt.
Secondary Country of Smelt- Report the country where the second largest volume of new aluminum metal is produced from alumina (or aluminum oxide) by the electrolytic Hall-Héroult process.
- If Russia is not the country reported for the primary country of smelt, and any primary aluminum used in the manufacture of the product was smelted in Russia, report the ISO code for Russia as the secondary country of smelt.
- Filers may report “N/A” for the secondary country of smelt if the product contains only secondary aluminum and no primary aluminum. Secondary aluminum is defined as aluminum metal that is produced from recycled aluminum scrap through a re-melting process.
- Products of the U.S. are not covered by the countries of smelt reporting requirements. Until further notice, for products of the U.S., filers may report “N/A” for the countries of smelt.
Country of Cast- Report the country where the aluminum (with or without alloying elements) was last liquified by heat and cast into a solid state. The final solid state can take the form of either a semi-finished product (slab, billets or ingots) or a finished aluminum product.
- Products of the U.S. are not covered by the cast reporting requirements. Until further notice, for products of the U.S., filers may report US for country of cast.
- Click Save when all three fields are filled out.
After saving the input, a successful message is displayed, and the countries are displayed in the grid.
If you determine you need to change data after the entry has been generated (printed), simply unprint the 7501. The Exit Doc ID and the fields will again be available for you to edit in the new menu screen.
