CBP FD07 drawback validation update for specified Chapter 99 provisions
CBP CSMS · Final action
What changed, and what should an importer check?
This notice is about drawback filing validation, not a new tariff rate. CBP said on August 14, 2026 that it had deployed FD07 validation changes on August 12. The validation disallows drawback for HTSUS 9903.05.01, associated in the notice with Section 301 duties on certain products from Brazil, and 9903.05.20–9903.05.84, associated with Section 301 forced-labor import duties.
Importers reviewing a drawback claim should compare the Chapter 99 provision on the entry with the current CATAIR Drawback Error Dictionary and their entry facts. This record does not decide whether a product is correctly classified, whether another duty applies, or what a shipment owes.

This is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) filing-validation measure involving Section 301 additional duties. It concerns certain HTSUS provisions used to report trade remedies, including provisions linked to products from Brazil and provisions linked to forced-labor-related imports. The FD07 designation refers to a drawback validation rule or message in CBP’s entry system.
In practical terms, the update means an importer or drawback claimant may be prevented from claiming duty drawback for duties reported under the affected provisions. Duty drawback is a refund or waiver mechanism for certain duties on exported or destroyed goods. The measure typically affects importers, customs brokers, drawback claimants, and exporters relying on imported inputs. It matters because an entry can be accepted or rejected differently depending on the HTSUS classification, the additional-duty reporting provision, and whether drawback is being claimed.
What to check
- Confirm the product’s complete HTSUS classification and any applicable Chapter 99 reporting provision with your customs broker or classification specialist.
- Check the current CBP entry-filing instructions and validation messages for the FD07 rule before submitting an entry or drawback claim.
- Separate ordinary duties from Section 301 additional duties and verify which amounts, if any, are eligible for drawback.
- Review entry data, drawback records, and automated filing logic for affected provisions, including whether the provision is being reported as a secondary tariff number.
- Obtain professional customs advice if the product’s origin, forced-labor status, classification, or drawback eligibility is uncertain.
