Extensions Requests, PSCs, and Protests

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released a CSMS Bulletin on Section 232 – Extensions Requests, Post-Summary Corrections, and Protests on May 1, 2020.  The bulletin outlines the process for submitting claims for retroactive relief on valid product exclusions to CBP and provides information on the actions that may be taken to extend the liquidation window for entries still awaiting exclusions from the Department of Commerce. 

The full CSMS Bulletin can be found at CSMS #42566154. For any questions, please refer to CSMS #42203908 (Information on Trade Remedy Questions and Resources).
