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>.
Previously approved revision to Form 7501:
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.
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 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 fields to
Form 7501 independently from the February 24, 2023 Proclamation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Importers will be required to report on 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.
The data elements 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 number 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); and any amendments
to these Proclamations.
