Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 67 / Friday, April 5, 2024 / Notices
further notice, such that steel imports of
the Republic of Korea without an export
certificate received warning messages,
but were not rejected.3
The Electronic Certification System
(eCERT) is a system developed by CBP
that uses electronic data transmissions
of information normally associated with
a required export document, such as a
license or certificate, to facilitate the
administration of quotas and ensure that
the proper restraint levels are charged
without being exceeded. The Republic
of Korea currently submits export
certificates to CBP via email, and in the
administration of the quota, CBP
validates the certificate numbers
provided by importers on their entry
summaries with the information
provided by the Republic of Korea. The
Republic of Korea requested to
participate in the eCERT process to
comply with the United States’ absolute
quota limits for steel exported from the
Republic of Korea for importation into
the United States. CBP has coordinated
with the Republic of Korea to
implement the eCERT process, and now
the Republic of Korea is ready to
participate in this process by
transmitting its export certificates to
CBP via eCERT.4
Foreign countries participating in
eCERT transmit information via a global
network service provider, which allows
connectivity to CBP’s automated
electronic system for commercial trade
processing, ACE. Specific data elements
are transmitted to CBP by the importer
of record (IOR), or an authorized
customs broker, when filing an entry
summary with CBP, and those data
elements must match eCERT data from
the participating country before the
subject importations will be entered or
withdrawn for consumption. Importers
must provide the participating country
with their IOR number in advance of
filing an entry, and, in turn, the
participating country must submit the
IOR number as an additional data
element of information within the
transmission for eCERT.5 For entries
filed through ACE, additional guidance
on the submission of the export
certificate information is available in the
CBP and Trade Automated Interface
Requirements (CATAIR), specifically in
the chapter entitled Entry Summary
Create/Update, regarding the record
entitled Importer’s Additional
Declaration Detail (https://
www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/acecatair-entry-summary-createupdatev88). If a certificate number is not
translated properly, the entry will be
rejected.
This document announces that the
Republic of Korea will be implementing
the eCERT process for transmitting
export certificates for steel product
entries subject to the absolute quota
limitation. The entry summary data
elements transmitted to CBP for
merchandise that is entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after April 22, 2024
must match the eCERT transmission of
an export certificate from the Republic
of Korea for the merchandise to be
entered or withdrawn for consumption.
CBP will automatically reject filings
without correct eCERT information
starting May 20, 2024. The transition to
eCERT will not change the absolute
quota filing process or requirements.
Importers will continue to provide the
export certificate numbers from the
Republic of Korea in the same manner
as when currently filing entry
summaries with CBP. The format of the
export certificate numbers will not
change as a result of the transition to
eCERT. CBP will reject entry summaries
that otherwise comply with the absolute
quota limitations when filed without a
valid export certificate in eCERT.

Trade.
