Is anyone familiar with using 9801.00.2600? We are thinking about using this HTS for returns from foreign customers, but are unsure of what steps need to be taken in order to be in compliance with its use.

Question: When employees are returning from over-seas and shipping their tools and tool boxes used on site locations back to the US, you can use the HTSUS 9801.00.8500 since these are tools of the trade.

I am trying to remember what documents are required to be part of retained documents if AGR 9801 is declared. Our particular situation would be a formal entry with the AGR line item being less than $2,000. Do we need a shippers dec? An importers declaration?

There is a bill in the new Misc. Tariff Bills that would amend the language in chapter 9801. It looks like it would make it possible to use 9801 for non-US originating goods. I’d like to hear if others agree with this interpretation. Below are a link and the language of the bill.  Link H. […]

I have researching the CRegs regarding documentation requirement for our products that were exported to Canada for an exhibition and returned. Our scenario appears to meet the definition of that HTS number but I can’t find that there are any documentation requirements (like Shippers Declaration, Importers Declaration, etc). Can anyone directly me to a ruling […]

Could the membership give me some guidance on using 9801 for repaired items? Our international customers ship us items, we repair them and send them back to them.

I am interested in hearing how other companies manage their U.S. Goods Returned entries (9801). I know the regulations state in Section 10.1 that in order to claim 9801 status, you must have a foreign shippers declaration and a manufacturers affidavit. Can anyone share their process for ensuring that the customer include the foreign shipper’s […]

QUESTION ON 9801 RECORDKEEPING: Scenario: We have an import shipment of U.S. Goods Returned arriving from Canada. Foreign Shipper’s Declaration will be completed along with Importer’s Declaration. We have certificates of US origin on file for items which will potentially be entered as 9801 goods. We typically have the origin certs as back-up records to […]

As part of our import controls, we require a manufacturer’s declaration for imported products before we will claim 9801.00.10 for U.S. Good Returned, in addition to the Foreign Shippers Dec and creating an importers declaration. I realize this is not strictly required by the regs, but since it may be requested and is generally required […]

US manufacturer completes a NAFTA certificate confirming US origin for components that are shipped to a Mexican maquiladora. Some unused components are shipping back to the US from the maquiladora in the same condition as exported and 9801 is claimed.
