GSP Termination
On December
27, CBP sent out CSMS#
10-000292 regarding the GSP Special Program Indicators of
"A" and "A+" which are due to expire after
midnight, December 31, 2010.
While congressional
action will likely extend the program in 2011, you will have rejections
for entries dated on or after January 1 that use those indicators
but are not paying duties.
Make sure
to be on the look-out for CSMS updates coming on this topic.
If you want
to set your system to disable the GSP tariff reductions for the
"A" and "A+" indicators, go to Applications
Manager/ Company Set-Up/ Applications Options. For Application
ID, enter "IP" and press <Page Down> until you
get to the question that says "Calculate duty for GSP Entries?"
and set the answer to YES.
If you use
the graphical version of ASCI this question will be found on Page
7 and if you use the text version (blue screen) it will be on
page 5. Don't forget to press <Page Down> through the end
of the program until you get back to the original window. Do not
change any other values in this program!
