into the United States. CBP has coordinated with Uruguay to implement the eCERT process, and now Uruguay is ready to participate in this process by transmitting its export certificates to CBP via eCERT.
Foreign countries participating in eCERT transmit information via a global network service provider, which allows connectivity to CBPs automated electronic system for commercial trade processing, the Automated Commercial Environment ACE. Specific data elements are transmitted to CBP by the importer of record or an authorized customs broker when filing an entry summary with CBP, and those data elements must match eCERT data from the foreign country before an importer may claim any applicable in-quota tariff rate of duty. An importer may claim an in-quota tariff rate when merchandise is entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, only if the information transmitted by the importer matches the information transmitted by the foreign government. If there is no transmission by the foreign government upon entry, an importer must claim the higher overquota tariff rate.1 An importer may subsequently claim the in-quota tariff rate under certain limited conditions.2
This document announces that Uruguay will be implementing the eCERT process for transmitting export certificates for beef entries subject to the tariff-rate quota. Imported merchandise that is entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 30, 2021, must match the eCERT
transmission of an export certificate from Uruguay in order for an importer to claim the in-tariff quota rate. The transition to eCERT will not change the tariff-rate quota filing process or requirements. Importers will continue to provide the export certificate numbers from Uruguay in the same manner as when currently filing entry summaries with CBP. The format of the export certificate numbers will not change as a result of the transition to eCERT. CBP
1 If there is no associated foreign government eCERT transmission available upon entry of the merchandise, an importer may enter the merchandise for consumption subject to the overquota tariff rate or opt not to enter the merchandise for consumption at that time e.g., transfer the merchandise to a Customs bonded warehouse or foreign trade zone or export or destroy the merchandise.
2 If an importer enters the merchandise for consumption subject to the over-quota tariff rate and the associated foreign government eCERT
transmission becomes available afterwards, an importer may claim the in-quota rate of duty by filing a post summary correction before liquidation or a protest under 19 CFR part 174
after liquidation. In either event, the in-quota rate of duty is allowable only if there are still quota amounts available within the original quota period.

II. Background Floods are the most common and most destructive natural disaster in the United States.1 Every year, flooding causes hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses around the United States.2 Anywhere it can rain, it can flood. With 99% of counties in the United States having experienced a flood 3 and when just one inch of water can cause $25,000 in damage in a home,4 communities across the country must make difficult decisions about protecting lives and property from flooding.
Standard homeowners and commercial property insurance policies do not cover flood losses. To meet the need for this vital coverage, FEMA
administers the National Flood Insurance Program NFIP, which offers reasonably priced flood insurance to all properties in communities that comply with minimum standards for floodplain 1 See Ready Campaign, Floods updated Apr. 9, 2021 at http www.ready.gov/floods last accessed July 15, 2021.
