Abstract: 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.

Emergency Justfication: 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.
