Pursuant to CBP Ruling HQ H318727 dated July 21, 2021, it has been determined that the shipment of used self-propelled vehicles from the continental United States to Puerto Rico does not constitute an “export” as contemplated in 19 CFR 192.2. Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States and 19 CFR 101 defines the “Customs Territory of the United States” to “include the only the states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico”. As a result 19 CFR 192 does not apply to the shipment of used vehicles from the United States to Puerto Rico. Although HQ H318727 does exclude the requirements of 19 CFR 192 it does not exclude the requirements of 15 CFR 30. Electronic Export Information (EEI) will still be required for vehicles with a value above $2,500.00. Vehicles with values $2,500.00 or less will not require EEI submission.
