CBP Says Delays Possible for Processing PSCs, Protests on Canadian Aluminum Tariffs

Delays are possible in processing post summary corrections and protests related to the Section 232 tariffs on Canadian aluminum, CBP said in a Nov. 12 CSMS message. President Donald Trump recently ended the Section 232 tariffs on aluminum from Canada and will retroactively allow duty-free treatment back to Sept. 1 (see 2010280024). Importers should file PSCs “to correct entries filed from September 1, 2020, through October 27, 2020 that may be eligible for refunds,” CBP said. “In the event that a subject entry has liquidated, a protest may be filed seeking a refund.” CBP warned there may be delays because there was a “significant number of entry summary lines filed” during the Sept. 1 through Oct. 27 period.
