CBP has since taken corrective actions, the agency said. The four HTS classifications that were inadvertently included in ACE were 8418.99.8010, 8418.99.8015, 8418.99.8020 and 8418.99.8025, according to CBP. These codes pertain to parts of refrigerating or freezing equipment and heat pumps.
The functionality in ACE has been updated to no longer require the filer to transmit 9903.85.08 with 8418.99.8010, 8418.99.8015, 8418.99.8020 and 8418.99.8025, effective March 27, CBP said.
"Filers who entered goods on or after March 12, 2025, under the HTSUS listed above with 9903.85.08 and paid section 232 duties should file a PSC correcting the entry summary line(s) by removing 9903.85.08 to obtain refunds of duties paid," CBP said in the CSMS message.
Post-summary corrections "can be filed on any unliquidated entries to request a refund of duties paid under a trade remedy," CBP continued. "Once an entry has liquidated, a protest may be filed within 180 days of the date of liquidation."
