A worksheet through which carriers
will submit the information required by, and other information
necessary to implement, Executive Order 14256, as amended. The
worksheet is where the carrier will declare its duty collection
methodology (i.e., ad valorem or specific duty) for the given
month, package count, value (if applicable), and total duty amount.
The second page will be utilized by the carrier to list the
specifics of imported postal items. CBP will use this information
to determine the amount of duty that carriers owe pursuant to
Executive Order 14256, as amended. CBP can also use the worksheet
as a reference when subsequently auditing carriers’ liability for
duties.
IEEPA authorizes the
President “to deal with any unusual and extraordinary threat, which
has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United
States, to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the
United States.” 50 U.S.C. § 1701(a). Once the President declares a
national emergency relating to such a threat, IEEPA empowers the
President to “regulate . . . importation . . . with respect to any
property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.”
Proclamation 10886 formally declared a national emergency in order
to address and abate the synthetic opioid crisis from the PRC,
Canada and Mexico to the United States. This crisis, noted in EO
14195, is “killing approximately two hundred Americans per day,
putting a severe strain on our healthcare system, ravaging our
communities, and destroying our families,” and synthetic opioid
overdose “is the leading cause of death for people aged 18 to 45 in
the United States.” Executive Order 14324 states that it is still
necessary and appropriate to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment
under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) in the manner and for the articles
described below to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threats,
which have their source in whole or substantial part outside the
United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and
economy of the United States. Following normal PRA clearance
procedures would prevent CBP from getting PRA authorization for the
International Mail Duty Worksheet urgently needed to properly
gather all the necessary information, crucial to deal with the
unusual and extraordinary threats which have their source in whole
or substantial part outside the United States.
