Fine-denier polyester staple fiber faces a 907,185-kg TIB quota
A 907,185-kilogram absolute quota applies to the covered fine-denier polyester staple fiber temporary-importation-under-bond entries from November 23, 2026, through November 22, 2027; the stated limit rises to 1,360,777 kilograms for November 23, 2027, through November 22, 2028. CBP opens the first quota period on November 23, 2026, and says entries in an HTSUS group that exceed its limit at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on opening day will be prorated. (CBP, Nov 23, 2026)
The quota covers fine-denier PSF measuring less than 3.3 decitex, whether coated or uncoated, entered temporarily free of duty under bond; the bulletin identifies the relevant statistical reporting numbers and requires entry type 23. Entries from the trade-agreement, developing, and Caribbean Basin beneficiary countries enumerated in the bulletin are excluded from this quantitative restriction, though other duties may still apply. (CBP, Nov 23, 2026)
For quota qualification, CBP processes entries first come, first served by presentation date and time until the applicable limit is reached. Presentation time is determined only when an error-free entry summary is on file, payment or statement-scheduled information has been transmitted to ACE, and shipment-arrival information has been transmitted to ACE; opening-day entries submitted after 12:01 a.m. local port time and before 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time receive an 8:30 a.m. entry time.

Russia-related Graham Act duties waived; stated 500% and 100% increases do not apply
The order states a 500% ad valorem increase for goods from the Russian Federation and 100% increases for the specified country and facilitator categories, but it also waives any duties provided for in Graham Act sections 112 and 113 or in the order. While that waiver remains in force, none of those stated increases applies as an additional duty. (White House)
The stated 100% category reaches goods from a country among the five largest importers of Russian-origin crude oil and natural gas if that country knowingly makes new purchases of that oil or gas on or after October 18, 2026; the other 100% category concerns goods from the top five facilitators of Russian oil sanctions evasion. The order also makes the increases subject to section 114 exceptions, which that section governs, but the waiver independently means no duty under the order or sections 112 and 113 applies while the waiver remains in force. The waiver ends when the President or the Secretary of State, in consultation with the specified officials as appropriate, determines further action is appropriate. (White House)

India welded stainless pressure pipe: Suncity’s 0.74% final margin
A 0.74% cash deposit rate now applies to covered welded stainless pressure pipe from India exported by Suncity Metals and Tubes Private Limited, for shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after October 22, 2026. Exporters covered in a completed prior segment retain the rate for their most recently completed segment; where the exporter is not covered but the producer is, the producer’s most recently completed-segment rate applies; all other producers or exporters remain at 8.35%. These deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
The review covers entries of welded stainless pressure pipe from India during November 1, 2023, through October 31, 2024; the Issues and Decision Memorandum governs the complete scope. Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for Suncity, and CBP will assess duties on appropriate entries; entries are liquidated without antidumping duties when the respondent margin or importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis. For Suncity-produced entries during the review period sold through an intermediary when Suncity did not know the goods were destined for the United States, Commerce will direct automatic assessment at the investigation’s all-others rate if no rate exists for the intermediate company. Importers must file the reimbursement certificate before liquidation or Commerce may presume reimbursement and assess double antidumping duties, or increase antidumping duties by the countervailing-duty amount. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication; if a timely summons is filed, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the 90-day period to request a statutory injunction expires.

Postal mail shipments with PGA or Chapter 98/99 issues get more time before formal entry
Formal entry for certain international-mail shipments is not required until January 20, 2027, rather than October 22, 2026. CBP extended the compliance date for 19 CFR 145.12(a)(2)(v) and (vi); the extension does not change the de minimis suspension or the informal mail-entry process used during the delay.
The line is merchandise arriving through the international postal network: once the extended date arrives, shipments subject to PGA requirements, subject to duties under HTSUS Chapter 98 or 99, or claiming Chapter 98 or FTA duty-free treatment cannot use the postal informal-entry process and require formal entry. That informal process was established for mail shipments valued at $2,500 or less and remains unchanged during the delay; the Entry Type 13 test is an optional alternative only for eligible shipments and governs which shipments qualify.

Tariff provisions
- HTSUS Chapter 98
- Shipments subject to Chapter 98 duties, or claiming Chapter 98 duty-free treatment, are ineligible for the postal informal-entry process and subject to the formal-entry requirement.
- HTSUS Chapter 99
- Shipments subject to Chapter 99 duties are ineligible for the postal informal-entry process and subject to the formal-entry requirement.

Mail entry test now accepts filings without complete PGA data
Entry Type 13 filings may now be transmitted without complete electronic Partner Government Agency (PGA) data under CBP’s temporary modification of the international-mail test, effective October 22, 2026. The test still provides an electronic ACE pathway for eligible mail entries; this change relaxes the PGA-data condition for transmission, not the other applicable entry-data requirements.
The change reaches international mail sent through the international postal network in shipments valued at $2,500 or less, when an importer of record or properly appointed licensed broker files Entry Type 13 data in ACE. For shipments subject to PGA requirements, filers may transmit the entry without complete electronic PGA data while they work to submit complete PGA data; Chapter 98 or 99 duties, Chapter 98 duty-free claims, and Free Trade Agreement claims still require their applicable additional data. CBP says it will announce the end of this temporary acceptance in a future Federal Register notice, but gives no end date here.
