Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Entry Summary.
OMB Number: 1651-0022.
Form Number: 7501.
Current Actions: Revision.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Importer, importer's agent for each import
transaction.
Abstract: CBP Form 7501, Entry Summary, is used to identify
merchandise entering the commerce of the United States, and to document
the amount of duty and/or tax paid. CBP Form 7501 is submitted by the
importer, or the importer's agent, for each import transaction. The
data on this form is used by CBP as a record of the import transaction;
to collect the proper duty, taxes, certifications, and enforcement
information; and to provide data to the U.S. Census Bureau for
statistical purposes. CBP Form 7501 must be filed within 10 working
days from the time of entry of merchandise into the United States.
Collection of the data on this form is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1484 and
provided for by 19 CFR 141.61 and 19 CFR 142.11. CBP Form 7501 and
accompanying instructions can be found at: <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title_1=7501">https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title_1=7501</a>.
New Change
CBP is proposing to add the following required data fields to Form
7501:
[ssquf] For certain Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)
classifications of steel imports, the country where the steel used in
the manufacture of the product was melted and poured; the country where
the steel used in the manufacture of the product was melted and poured
applies to the original location where the raw steel is first produced
in a steel-making furnace in a liquid state; and then poured into its
first solid shape.
[ssquf] For certain HTS classifications of aluminum imports, the
countries where the largest and second largest volume of primary
aluminum used in the manufacture of the imported aluminum product was
smelted; and the country where the aluminum used in the imported
aluminum product was most recently cast. The fields requiring
identification of the countries where the largest volume of primary
aluminum used in the manufacture of the product was smelted applies to
the country where the largest volume of new aluminum metal is produced
from alumina (or aluminum oxide) by the electrolytic Hall-
H[eacute]roult process. Importers may be required to report if primary
aluminum from specific countries is used in the imported
[[Page 20674]]
aluminum product, if required by law and/or Presidential
Proclamation.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The February 24, 2023 Presidential Proclamation on Adjusting
Imports of Aluminum Into the United States requires importers to
provide to CBP information necessary to identify the countries where
the primary aluminum used in the manufacture of certain imports of
aluminum articles are smelted and information necessary to identify
the countries where such aluminum articles imports are cast. This
notice proposes to add the aluminum smelt and cast data field to
Form 7501 independently from the February 24, 2023 Proclamation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ssquf] Importers will be required to report on the Form 7501 the
steel country of melt and pour and aluminum countries of smelt and cast
for imports under those steel and aluminum HTS classifications subject
to the Commerce Department's steel and aluminum import license
applications, and where applicable, the section 232 steel and aluminum
measures.
These data fields will substantially align the Form 7501 reporting
requirements with the Commerce Department's existing reporting
requirements for steel melt and pour and aluminum smelt and cast
countries for steel and aluminum import license applications under 19
CFR 360.103(c)(1) and 19 CFR 361.103(c)(1). The aluminum and steel
license application information is used by the Commerce Department for
monitoring of anticipated imports of certain aluminum and steel
products into the United States. The Form 7501 data is used by CBP to
determine, when imports are entered for consumption, the proper amount
of duties, applicable fees, taxes, and imports subject to quota.
These data fields are also required to enforce the tariff rate
quotas for imported steel and aluminum established by the following
Presidential Proclamations under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act
of 1962, as amended: for products of the European Union, Proclamation
10327 of December 27, 2021 (87 FR 1, January 3, 2022) and Proclamation
10328 of December 27, 2021 (87 FR 11, January 3, 2022); for products of
Japan (steel-only), Proclamation 10356 of March 31, 2022 (87 FR 19351,
April 1, 2022); and for products of the United Kingdom, Proclamation
10405 of May 31, 2022 (87 FR 33583, June 3, 2022) and Proclamation
10406 of May 31, 2022 (87 FR 33591, June 3, 2022).
