April 2026, question 28

Quota · Quota

A&M Industries entered one entry of peanut butter from India as a type 01 consumption entry on May 1, 2024. Peanut butter from India is subject to a tariff rate quota with an in-quota tariff rate of 0%. The 2024 quota period is January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. The quota for this period has closed but it did not fill. On January 31, 2025, A&M Industries wishes to amend the entry summary to change the entry to a type 02 quota entry. Can A&M Industries claim quota for the 2024 quota period?

  1. No, but A&M Industries can file a post summary correction amending the entry summary to change the entry to a type 02 quota entry and claim quota for the 2025 quota period.
  2. No, the 2024 quota period has closed.
  3. Yes, A&M Industries should request that CBP cancel the entry so that a replacement quota entry type may be submitted.
  4. Yes, A&M Industries should contact HQ Quota to arrange for quota reservation in the 2024 quota period.
Show the answer and walk-through

CBP's answer: B. B: No, the 2024 quota period has closed.

Quota cannot be added to a non-quota entry type with a post summary correction. The entry would have to be cancelled and replaced with a quota entry in the original quota period, and the BRPD says quota is not accessible once that original period has closed. The 2024 period closed, so the answer is no for 2024, and B is right. A fails because the PSC cannot turn a type 01 entry into a quota entry, and C and D fail because they assume the closed period is still open.

Quota is not accessible after the original entry quota period has closed. ACE BRPD Section 7.14
A PSC is not a permissible vehicle to change a non-quota type entry to a quota type entry. ACE BRPD Section 7.14
