DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Customs Service
Interim List of Records Required To Be Maintained and Produced
Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1509(a)(1)(A)
AGENCY: U.S. Customs Service, Treasury.
ACTION: General notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document sets forth for the information of the general
public the text of a document that was previously published in the
Customs Bulletin on January 3, 1996 concerning a list of records or
entry information required to be maintained and produced under section
509(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by title VI of the
North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stuart P. Seidel, Assistant
Commissioner, Office of Regulations and Rulings at (202) 482-6920 or
William Inch, Director, Office of Regulatory Audit at (202) 927-1100.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 8, 1993, the President signed the North American Free
Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103-182). Title VI of the
act is entitled ``Customs Modernization'' and is popularly known as the
Customs Modernization Act. Section 615 of the Customs Modernization Act
amends Sec. 509(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
1509(a)(1)(A)) to require the maintenance and production of a record if
``such record is required by law or regulation for the entry of
merchandise (whether or not the Customs Service required its
presentation at the time of entry).'' Section 509 was further amended
by adding a new subsection (e) which requires the Customs Service to
identify and publish a list of records or entry information that is
required to be maintained and produced under Sec. 509(a)(1)(A)--
commonly referred to as ``the (a)(1)(A) list.'' In their respective
discussions of section 615, both the House Report and Senate Report on
the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act indicate
that the requirement to publish the (a)(1)(A) list refers to
publication in the Customs Bulletin. On January 3, 1996, Customs
published the (a)(1)(A) list in the Customs Bulletin.
This publication of the (a)(1)(A) list in the Federal Register is
for the information of the general public.
Dated: July 9, 1996.
Stuart P. Seidel,
Assistant Commissioner, Office of Regulations and Rulings.
Accordingly, the document setting forth the (a)(1)(A) list, as
discussed above, is reproduced below:
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE
(T.D. 96-1)
INTERIM LIST OF RECORDS REQUIRED TO BE MAINTAINED AND PRODUCED PURSUANT
TO 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1509(a)(1)(A)
AGENCY: U.S. Customs Service, Treasury.
ACTION: Interim ``(a)(1)(A) list''.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document lists records (which includes, but is not
limited to, any statement, declaration, document, or electronically
generated or machine readable data) required by law or regulation
for the entry of the merchandise (whether or not the Customs Service
requires its presentation at the time of entry). Publication is
required by section 509(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended by section 615 of Public Law 103-182 (19 U.S.C.
Sec. 1509(a)(1)(A)). This interim list addresses public comments
solicited by the Proposed List which was posted on Customs
Electronic Bulletin Board on September 12, 1994 and published in the
Customs Bulletin on September 21, 1994. The list is being published
as an interim listing because the Customs Service is re-engineering
its entry and related processes and the list is expected to change
as entry requirements are revised.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Since this document merely lists records already
required by law or regulation, it is effective on January 3, 1996,
the date of publication in the Customs Bulletin.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to the Regulations Branch,
Office of Regulations and Rulings, U.S. Customs Service, 1301
Constitution Avenue NW. (Franklin Court), Washington, D.C. 20229.
Comments may be inspected at the Regulations Branch, Office of
Regulations and Rulings, Suite 4000W, 1099 14th Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20005. Comments submitted will be available for
public inspection in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552), Sec. 1.4, Treasury Department Regulations (31 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 509(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
Sec. 1509(a)(1)(A)) as amended by 615 of title VI of the North
American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (generally referred
to as the ``Customs Modernization Act'') requires the maintenance
and production of a record if ``such record is required by law or
regulation for the entry of merchandise (whether or not the Customs
Service required its presentation at the time of entry).'' Section
509 was further amended by adding a new subsection (e) which
requires the Customs Service to identify and publish a list of
records or entry information that is required to be maintained and
produced under section 509(a)(1)(A)--commonly referred to as ``the
(a)(1)(A) list.'' On September 12, 1994, the proposed (a)(1)(A) list
was placed on the Customs Electronic Bulletin Board for public
comment, followed by publication in the September 21, 1994 Customs
Bulletin. Comments were received from the following organizations or
their counsel: the Air Courier Conference of America, National
Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America, Inc., The
United States Association of Importers of Textiles and Apparel, The
Joint Industry Group, American Association of Exporters and
Importers, U.S. Transportation Coalition, and a group of petroleum
and petrochemical companies. In addition comments were received from
a Customs broker, a law firm, an express consignment company and its
brokerage, and a Customs office. A total of eleven comments were
received. However, many of the submissions were from trade groups,
or their counsel, representing hundreds of interested parties. A
summary of the comments received and Customs response follows:
Comment: One commenter opined that NAFTA records should be
excluded from the (a)(1)(A) list because it would subject record
keepers to the additional penalties available under 19 U.S.C. 1509,
and NAFTA exporter's records are already subject to penalties.
Customs Response: Customs agrees that records required to be
kept by U.S. exporters should be excluded from the (a)(1)(A) list
(unless the same party is also an importer and is relying upon those
records to claim a NAFTA preference on reimportation) since
(a)(1)(A) only applies to entry records. However, Customs believes
that certain other NAFTA records are entry records. The law requires
a person claiming NAFTA preferences to be in possession of a NAFTA
Certificate of Origin at the time the preference is claimed. Thus,
when NAFTA preferences are claimed at the time of entry, the NAFTA
records are entry records and properly fall within the purview of
(a)(1)(A). To make this clear, the NAFTA certificate of origin and
supporting records required by 19 CFR 181.22 have been specifically
added to the list.
Comment: One commenter suggested that for petroleum and
petrochemical products, only the following should be required to be
kept for five years: CF 7501 and related documents, purchase orders
or contracts (except when made orally), invoice and payment records
(including canceled checks, wire transfer evidence, inter company
accounts and similar records, bills of lading or charter agreements,
freight invoices, import inspection reports, etc, evidence of use
(for classification where use controls), TSCA and EPA
certifications.
[[Page 36957]]
Customs Response: The record retention period is beyond the
scope of the (a)(1)(A) list and will be addressed in a separate
regulatory package. As indicated in the Background portion, Customs
will consider changes in entry record requirements as Customs
processes are revised. However, until those requirements are
changed, the law requires that all records required for the entry of
merchandise be included in the (a)(1)(A) list.
Comment: One commenter expressed concern that the size of the
(a)(1)(A) list will result in the list being a tool to penalize
persons during routine audits. The commenter points out that under
current practice, the failure to present certain required records
results in a denial of a preference. In other cases, the record (19
CFR 10.174, for example) may be required within 60 days of entry,
after which it does not appear to be required. In other cases,
importation is prohibited without the required record (19 CFR 12.161
fur seal certificate). The commenter suggested that the (a)(1)(A)
list be limited to those presently required to be produced, and not
routinely the subject of waivers. The commenter suggested that the
entry not be accepted without a statement that the required document
is in the importer's possession, because without the statement,
potential third party record keepers might not be willing to
undertake this responsibility since there would be no guarantee that
records would be available. The commenter further suggested reducing
the maintenance period from five years to not longer than
liquidation of the entry.
Customs Response: In an automated environment, Customs must be
able to use a post-entry record demand to ensure that an importer's
claims on entry were valid. In order to expedite the release of
merchandise, Customs may initially waive production of certain
required records and then verify them at a later date. This is
especially true in the case of records not affecting admissibility.
This fact is recognized in the law, which refers to a record which
is required by law or regulation for the entry of the merchandise
whether or not the Customs Service required its presentation at the
time of entry, emphasis added. A record retention period beyond
liquidation was clearly contemplated by Congress, because the
statute specifically permits reliquidation and denial of claimed
preferences if the record is demanded within two years of the
original liquidation and is not produced. As pointed out in other
comments, Customs is reviewing its entire entry process and the
(a)(1)(A) list will be adjusted in the future. With regard to the
penalty process, Customs intends to follow the legislative history
which states, ``[o]nce this listing has been made available and
importers have had an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the
contents, the Committee expects the person on whom a demand has been
made for any of the records under section 509(a)(1)(A) of the Act
will furnish them under the `reasonable time' standard embodied in
the law. The Committee also believes that Customs headquarters
should exercise tight control over the imposition of record keeping
penalties, and until the Customs Service gains some experience in
administering this penalty, no such penalty should be issued without
prior headquarters review and approval.''
Comment: One commenter was of the opinion that the (a)(1)(A)
list should only contain those records required for ``entry,'' which
the commenter equates with ``admission'' or ``release'' of the
merchandise. The commenter further points out that many of the
documents on the list are not required for release. The commenter
suggests that as electronic textile visas are introduced, importers
will not have any visa documentation to produce and the (a)(1)(A)
list should reflect that. The commenter also believes it is
inappropriate to list documents, such as origin declarations and
quota charge statements which are presented at the time of entry and
retained by Customs. The commenter also believes that purchase
orders and contracts are not required for entry and refers to 19 CFR
141.83 and 141.86, and therefor should be eliminated from the list.
The commenter also believes that the manifest description of the
goods should be stricken from the list since the carrier, not the
importer is responsible for producing this to Customs. Finally, the
commenter believes that the broker power of attorney should be
eliminated since the record is not, in the commenter's view,
required for entry.
Customs Response: The term ``entry'' is used in the Customs laws
and regulations in two ways. The first refers to a specific
document, the ``entry'' form (such as consumption entry, vessel
repair entry, etc); the second to a procedure, ``entry of
merchandise,'' ``entry and clearance.'' Customs believes that the
(a)(1)(A) list refers to the procedure-- that is, records required
to complete the entry process. Section 1484 of title 19 of the
United States Code (19 U.S.C. 1484) refers to an importer using
reasonable care to make entry by filing such information as is
necessary to obtain release of the merchandise, and completing the
entry by filing such additional information as may be necessary to
enable Customs to fix the final appraisement and classification of
the merchandise and insure compliance with applicable law. Thus, the
scope of the (a)(1)(A) list is broader than contemplated by the
commenter. This is supported by the examples listed in the
legislative history which include not only any record required for
admissibility, but also the following which are not required for
release: a commercial invoice, a packing list, certificate of origin
Form A (where a claim for a preference is made), and declarations of
a foreign manufacturer. With regard to purchase orders and
contracts, Customs notes that while not every importation requires
such records for entry, importations covered by sections 12.99,
10.84 and 10.183 of the Customs Regulations do require contracts.
Customs has deleted purchase orders from the (a)(1)(A) list,
although they must be retained and made available for examination
pursuant to other provisions of 19 U.S.C. 1508 and 1509. With regard
to the comment that electronic visas may be transmitted to the
Customs Service, we note that the visa will still be a record
required for entry and thus will have to be listed, but the importer
will not be subject to penalties, since the record is transmitted to
and retained by Customs, and the penalty provisions do not apply
when Customs retains the record.
Comment: Several commenters recommended that the (a)(1)(A) list
be simplified, to eliminate unnecessary material, and suggest
Customs review documents which are routinely waived to see if they
can be eliminated. One commenter believed that the list was
accurate, but far too complex. The commenter suggested a ``front
end'' summary of which documents contain which data elements and
that the list be re-structured to simplify it. Finally, several
commenters suggested that the list could be clarified by referencing
the documents currently required rather than the data elements or
information.
Customs Response: Customs agrees that the list should be
rearranged to show which data is routinely provided to Customs on
entry forms and has tried to group the records to show which ones
are required by all, or most, import transactions. We agree that the
list is complex, and lists some records which are not required in
most import transactions, but only are required for imports of
certain specific merchandise, or in certain situations. We have
tried to list those situations and hope to simplify and reduce the
list in the future as new procedures and regulations are
implemented. The law requires that the (a)(1)(A) list contain not
only documents but also data elements and other information required
for entry.
Comment: Several commenters suggested that Customs list the
parties responsible for maintaining specific documents. For example,
one commenter points out that carriers are responsible for the
manifest under regulations issued pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1321, but
should not be responsible for the summary manifest for letters and
documents and return shipments since these intangibles are, in the
commenter's view exempt from entry under General Notes 13 (d), (e)
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) and
Sec. 681c of the Mod Act. The commenter questions the inclusion of
the vessel entry form 226 since, in the commenter's view, it does
not relate to the ``entry of merchandise.''
Customs Response: Whether or not an article is covered by the
HTSUS is not determinative of whether the article is ``merchandise''
within the Tariff Act of 1930. Section 401 (19 U.S.C. 1401) defines
``merchandise'' as goods, wares, and chattels of every description
and includes merchandise the importation of which is prohibited, and
monetary instruments. Thus, returned articles and documents are in
fact merchandise, albeit exempt from the HTSUS. In fact, 19 U.S.C.
1498 specifically permits the Secretary to promulgate regulations
for the declaration and entry of returned merchandise. With regard
to the vessel entry form, we note that while it is used to report
vessel repairs, it is also used to report the entry of equipment and
spare parts and is also referenced in 19 U.S.C. 1498.
Comment: One commenter suggested that express carriers
(operating under part 128, Customs Regulations) be required to keep
the
[[Page 36958]]
manifest, consolidated entry summary or its equivalent and invoices
for informal entries, and the manifest, individual entry summaries
or their equivalent and invoices for formal entries. The commenter
did not believe that individual house airway bills and packing lists
should be listed because the airway bill's data elements duplicated
the manifest, and the packing lists were rarely used for express
consignments. The commenter expressed the view that since express
carriers have ``a statutory right under 19 U.S.C. 1484 to designate
their own brokers to make entry,'' no power of attorney was needed
and it should therefor be eliminated from the (a)(1)(A) list. The
commenter suggested that other federal or state agency documents
should be listed. The commenter believed that the list should
include (for carriers), records relating to entry for immediate
transportation pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1552, transportation and
exportation pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1553 and records relating to
instruments of international traffic pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1322.
Several commenters pointed out that Customs Forms 3311, 4455 and
Form A are no longer required (see 59 FR 25503) and should be
removed from the (a)(1)(A) list. One commenter pointed out that
since only ``an owner or purchaser of the merchandise or, when
appropriately designated by the owner, purchaser, or consignee of
the merchandise, a person holding a valid license under section
1641'' may make formal entry, carriers should not be liable for
maintaining records on the (a)(1)(A) list except in limited
circumstances.
Customs Response: Customs agrees that a power of attorney is not
required by a broker who is the importer of record, since in that
capacity, the broker is the principal and is liable for duties, fees
and taxes. However, powers of attorney, when required by the
regulations, are entry records. Customs agrees that the CF 3311 and
CF 4455 are no longer required for certain entries pursuant to 19
CFR 10.1(a) and 10.8 and 10.9. However, the CF 3311 and/or CF 4455
remain entry records for certain importations (see revised 19 CFR
7.8(b), 10.1 (h), (i), (j) and 10.66, 10.67, for example. The Origin
Form A has been deleted from the (a)(1)(A) list for GSP and CBI
importations. Customs also agrees that records required by 19 U.S.C.
1552, 1553 and 1322 are entry records and has added them to the
(a)(1)(A) list .
CONCLUSION
Customs has revised the (a)(1)(A) list in accordance with the
foregoing and is publishing it at this time as an interim document
to allow future modifications as procedures change. The
``Background'' section has been renamed ``General Information'' and
expanded and clarified. The list will also be published as an
Appendix to the revised record keeping regulations when that
document is published. Customs intends the importing community to
familiarize themselves with the (a)(1)(A) list and expects that a
person on whom a demand has been made for any of the entry records
will furnish them under the ``reasonable time'' standard embodied in
the law. Although the record keeping penalties are effective upon
publication of the list, Customs headquarters will, as recommended
in the legislative history, exercise tight control over the
imposition of record keeping penalties, and until the Customs
Service gains some experience in administering this penalty, Customs
officers will not issue such a penalty without prior headquarters
review and approval.

Rulings
INTERIM (a)(1)(A) LIST
LIST OF RECORDS REQUIRED FOR THE ENTRY OF MERCHANDISE
GENERAL INFORMATION: Section 508 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1508), sets forth the general record keeping
requirements for Customs-related activities. Section 509 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1509) sets forth the
procedures for the production and examination of those records
(which includes, but is not limited to, any statement, declaration,
document, or electronically generated or machine readable data).
Section 509(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by
title VI of Public Law 103-182, commonly referred to as the Customs
Modernization Act (19 U.S.C. 1509(a)(1)(A)), requires the
production, within a reasonable time after demand by the Customs
Service is made (taking into consideration the number, type and age
of the item demanded) if ``such record is required by law or
regulation for the entry of the merchandise (whether or not the
Customs Service required its presentation at the time of entry)''.
Section 509(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by Public Law
103-182 (19 U.S.C. 1509(e)) requires the Customs Service to identify
and publish a list of the records and entry information that is
required to be maintained and produced under subsection (a)(1)(A) of
section 509 (19 U.S.C. 1509 (a)(1)(A)). This list is commonly
referred to as ``the (a)(1)(A) list.''
The Customs Service has tried to identify all the presently
required entry information or records on the following list.
However, as automated programs and new procedures are introduced,
these may change. In addition, errors and omissions to the list may
be discovered upon further review by Customs officials or the trade.
Pursuant to section 509(g), the failure to produce listed records or
information upon reasonable demand may result in penalty action or
liquidation or reliquidation at a higher rate than entered. A record
keeping penalty may not be assessed if the listed information or
records are transmitted to and retained by Customs.
Other recordkeeping requirements: The importing community and
Customs officials are reminded that the (a)(1)(A) list only pertains
to records or information required for the entry of merchandise. An
owner, importer, consignee, importer of record, entry filer, or
other party who imports merchandise, files a drawback claim or
transports or stores bonded merchandise, any agent of the foregoing,
or any person whose activities require them to file a declaration or
entry, is also required to make, keep and render for examination and
inspection records (including, but not limited to, statements,
declarations, documents and electronically generated or machine
readable data) which pertain to any such activity or the information
contained in the records required by the Tariff Act in connection
with any such activity; and are normally kept in the ordinary course
of business. While these records are not subject to administrative
penalties, they are subject to examination and/or summons by Customs
officers. Failure to comply could result in the imposition of
significant judicially imposed penalties and denial of import
privileges.
The following list does not replace entry requirements, but is
merely provided for information and reference. In the case of the
list conflicting with regulatory or statutory requirements, the
latter will govern.
LIST OF RECORDS AND INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR THE ENTRY OF MERCHANDISE
The following records (which includes, but is not limited to,
any statement, declaration, document, or electronically generated or
machine readable data) are required by law or regulation for the
entry of merchandise and are required to be maintained and produced
to Customs upon reasonable demand (whether or not Customs required
its presentation at the time of entry). Information may be submitted
to Customs at time of entry in a Customs authorized electronic or
paper format. Not every entry of merchandise requires all of the
following information. Only those records or information applicable
to the entry requirements for the merchandise in question will be
required/mandatory. The list may be amended as Customs reviews its
requirements and continues to implement the Customs Modernization
Act. When a record or information is filed with and retained by
Customs, the record is not subject to record keeping penalties,
although the underlying backup or supporting information from which
it is obtained may also be subject to the general record retention
regulations and examination or summons pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1508
and 1509.
