Accordingly, effective February 24, all HTSUS numbers applicable to IEEPA tariffs will be inactive in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) processing system.
CBP emphasized that the February 20 Executive Order only impacts IEEPA duties and does not impact any Section 232 (national security) or Section 301 (unfair trade practices) duties.
Further CSMS messages will offer additional guidance as appropriate. Members of the trade community who encounter errors when filing entry summaries should contact their CBP Client Representative or the ACE Help Desk. Members should direct questions regarding this CSMS message to CBP's Office of Trade Relations (traderelations@cbp.dhs.gov).
