(a)Year-end reconciliation required.
(1)RVC and LVC. When the producer of a covered vehicle has calculated the RVC or LVC of its vehicles on the basis of estimated costs, including standard costs, budgeted forecasts or other similar estimating procedures, before or during the producer's fiscal year, the producer must conduct a reconciliation at the end of the producer's fiscal year to the actual costs incurred over the period with respect to the production of the vehicle, irrespective of whether the producer filed an averaging election pursuant to § 182.100 of this subpart.
(2)Steel and aluminum purchases. When the producer of a covered vehicle has calculated steel and aluminum purchases on the basis of estimates before or during the applicable period, the producer must conduct a reconciliation at the end of the producer's fiscal year to the actual purchases made over the period with respect to the production of the vehicle.
(b)Notification. If, based on the year-end reconciliation performed under paragraph
(a)of this section, the covered vehicle does not satisfy the RVC or LVC requirement on the basis of the actual costs, or the steel or aluminum purchasing requirement on the basis of the actual purchases, the producer must, within 30 days of making that determination:
(1)Provide written notification to CBP that the vehicle is a non-originating good; and
(2)Inform any person to whom the producer has provided a certification of origin for the vehicle, or a written statement that the vehicle is an originating good, that the vehicle is a non-originating good. \[CBP Dec. 24-18 90 FR 6500, Jan. 17, 2025\]
