October 2022 — Question 5
If ABC Customs Brokers, LLC (ABC) is permitted to file more than one entry for the merchandise, as all the merchandise is arriving in one conveyance and consigned to one consignee, what type of entry will ABC file for the sample gowns for which the importer has requested a temporary importation under bond (TIB) be filed?
- AEntry type 01
- BEntry type 02
- CEntry type 12
- DEntry type 21
- EEntry type 23✓ CBP's answer
Why this answer
The cited ACE business rules chapters assign each entry summary type a two-digit code, and temporary importations under bond are filed as entry type 23. Because the importer requested TIB treatment for the sample gowns, type 23 is the only fit. Type 01 is a plain consumption entry, type 02 is consumption with quota or visa, and type 12 is an informal quota entry, all of which would enter the gowns into commerce with duty consequences instead of under a bond for exportation. Type 21 is the tempting distractor because it sits among the special classes, but it is the warehouse entry type. Watch for: Confusing type 21, the warehouse entry, with type 23, temporary importation under bond.
