WARNING: *CENSUS* OR-LO VAL/QTY (1)

The US customs brokers feedback us that they receive 27C:WARNING: *CENSUS* OR-LO VAL/QTY (1) rejection when they submit the 7501 entry summary. There is a census warning on line 2 for low value. Is this low value warning? and what should we do?

Your Answer

Yes, it is low value warning. 

Reason

In the entry line no. 2 item, the goods value divided by Quantity(1) is below the range of CBP historical data of that HTS tariff number. 

Solution

You can double check the data of below 4 fields whether they're correct in the line item 2. 

  • HTS Tariff Number: verify HTS tariff classification base on the goods description
  • Goods Value: goods value report in 7501 is USD
  • Quantity 1: check whether the quantity 1 had been converted properly base on UOM 1
  • UOM 1: check whether the UOM is converted properly, for example, the contract UOM is ton and HTS UOM1 is KG
  • Currency: if not contract currency is not USD, you need to convert it to USD as the customs broker need to report USD in the 7501
