Commerce Announces CBP DIS Pilot on Documentation Required for Russian Uranium Imports

The Commerce Department is announcing the beginning of a pilot to test the filing in the Automated Commercial Environment’s Document Imaging System of certain documents required for importation of uranium from Russia. Under the pilot, electronic filing in DIS will replace the current paper process for submitting documentation required under an antidumping duty suspension agreement. Documents filed through DIS would include export licenses and certificates, declarations of intent to re-export, processor and end-user certifications, purchase or delivery orders, origin certifications and anticircumvention certifications. In addition to filing with CBP through DIS, documentation would still also have to be filed with Commerce through the ACCESS electronic filing system. The pilot will begin no earlier than Nov. 20, said Commerce.
