October 2018 — Question 79

Why this answer

This answer comes not from the regulations but from CBP's ACE Entry Summary Business Rules and Process Document, an approved exam reference. In the section CBP cited, the document provides that a blanket non-reimbursement statement — the importer's certification that it has not been reimbursed for antidumping or countervailing duties — may cover up to 50 manufacturer identification numbers. The lower round numbers offered as distractors appear nowhere in that document, and candidates who look for the figure in the AD/CVD regulations themselves will find no MID count at all, which is what pushes them toward guessing a smaller, safer-sounding number. Watch for: Guessing a smaller round number instead of recalling the ACE document's 50-MID limit.
