Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Drawback Process Regulations.
OMB Number: 1651-0075.
Form Number: 7553.
Current Actions: Extension without change to information
collection.
Type of Review: Extension (without change).
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: The collections of information related to the drawback
process are required as per 19 CFR part 190 (Modernized Drawback),
which provides for refunds of duties, taxes, and fees for certain
merchandise that is imported into the United States where there is a
subsequent related exportation or destruction. All claims for drawback,
sometimes referred to as TFTEA-Drawback, must be filed electronically
in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), in accordance with the
Trade Facilitation Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 (TFTEA) (Pub. L. 114-
125, 130 Stat. 122), and in compliance with the regulations in part
190, 181 (NAFTA Drawback) and 182 (USMCA Drawback). Specific
information on completing a claim is available in the drawback CBP and
Trade Automated Interface Requirement (CATAIR) document at: <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/ace-drawback-catair-guidelines">https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/ace-drawback-catair-guidelines</a>.
CBP Form 7553, Notice of Intent to Export, Destroy or Return
Merchandise for Purposes of Drawback (NOI), documents both the
exportation and destruction of merchandise eligible for drawback. The
NOI is the official notification to CBP that an exportation or
destruction will occur for drawback eligible merchandise. The CBP Form
7553 has been updated to comply with TFTEA-Drawback requirements and is
accessible at: <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms">https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms</a>.
Relevant Regulations and Statutes:
Title 19, part 190--<a href="https://ecfr.io/Title-19/Part-190">https://ecfr.io/Title-19/Part-190</a>
19 U.S.C. 1313
<a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2011-title19/pdf/USCODE-2011-title19-chap4-subtitleII-partI-sec1313.pdf">https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2011-title19/pdf/USCODE-2011-title19-chap4-subtitleII-partI-sec1313.pdf</a>
19 U.S.C. 1313 authorizes the information collected on the CBP form
7553 as well as in the ACE system for the electronic drawback claim.
This collection of information applies to the individuals and
companies in the trade community who are and are not familiar with
drawback, importing and exporting procedures, and with the CBP
regulations.
Please note that CBP Forms 7551 and 7552 are both abolished. From
February 24, 2019, onward, TFTEA-Drawback, as provided for in part 190,
is the only legal framework for filing drawback claims. No new drawback
claims may be filed under the paper-based processes previously provided
for in part 191 (Drawback). Sections 190.51, 190.52, and 190.53 provide
the requirements to submit a drawback claim electronically. The
provisions of part 190 are similar to the provisions in part 191,
except where necessary to outline all the data elements for a complete
claim (previously contained in CBP form 7551) and modify those
requirements to comply with TFTEA-Drawback. CBP form 7552, Certificates
of Delivery and Certificates of Manufacturing & Delivery will no longer
be requested or accepted to demonstrate the transfer of merchandise.
Sections 190.10 and 190.24 require that any transfers of merchandise
must be evidenced by business records, as defined in Sec. 190.2.
Type of Information Collection: Form 7553.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 150.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 20.
