Title: Amendment to the Tobacco Importer Assessment Regulations Regarding the Definition of De Minimis Special Entries
Abstract: This action would change the number of kilograms of imported tobacco classified as a sample from five (5) kilograms or less to one hundred (100) kilograms or less. The objective is to lessen burdensome paperwork by importers and Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) without jeopardizing revenue or violating the intent of the program. This change would save time and paperwork since late payment reports are generated for these small amounts of tobacco but late payment fees and under paid assessments of less than $10.00 are not collected. The cost would be minimal because revenue from 100 kilograms of tobacco is normally less than $5.00 and there would be some savings to CCC from less paperwork, printing, and postage.
