We have an urgent request for you to provide documentation confirming that certain products you supply to Cummins do not contain Russian iron or steel.  If such actions are not completed by October 15, 2023, Supplier will assume responsibility for any costs incurred due to a detained shipment as a result of missing or incomplete documents.

Background: Iron & Steel Requirement  

This request covers all part numbers you currently supply to Cummins that are classified under the following HS headings: 7206; 7207; 7208; 7209; 7210; 7211; 7212; 7213; 7214; 7215; 7216; 7217; 7218; 7219; 7220; 7221; 7222; 7223; 7224; 7225; 7226; 7227; 7228; 7229; 7301; 7302; 7303; 7304; 7305; 7306; 7307; 7308; 7309; 7310; 7311; 7312; 7313; 7314; 7315; 7316; 7317; 7318; 7319; 7320; 7321; 7322; 7323; 7324; 7325; and 7326.

Cummins previously sent communications regarding these requirements (sent Aug. 25 for the EU and Sept. 14 for the UK) including the need to produce Mill Test Certificates (MTCs) to demonstrate that the products do not contain Russian iron or steel.

Cummins will now allow two options for documentation, as described under Appendix A at the end of this communication.  
 

Supplier Actions Needed by October 15, 2023

1.      Confirm scope: Confirm which parts, if any, you have supplied to Cummins that fall under the in-scope HS headings 7206 through 7326, as listed above. 

  • If you have in-scope parts, please proceed to step 2. 
  • If you determine you do not have in-scope parts, send an email to [email protected] with the subject following the format “NO IRON AND STEEL ARTICLES – SUPPLIER NAME" and confirm any relevant details in your email.   

2.      Perform due diligence: Carefully review in-scope parts and confirm evidence of the country of origin of the iron and steel inputs used when the parts were manufactured. Such evidence can include Mill-Test Certificates (MTCs); Invoices from iron and steel sources; Delivery notes from iron and steel sources; Quality certificates of iron and steel inputs; Long-term supplier declarations of iron and steel sourcing; Costing and production documents related to iron and steel inputs; Customs documents of the exporting country of the iron and steel sources; Trade correspondence; Production descriptions; Exclusion clauses in sales contracts; and Manufacturer's statements if they refer directly to the shipment in question (not general statements)

3.      Prepare documentation as required by Cummins: Prepare documentation for Cummins as summarized in Appendix A.  Options A and B are both acceptable. 

4.      SEND DOCUMENTATION TO CUMMINS BOTH OF THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

  1. For all shipments to Cummins (New Process Going Forward): Establish a new process to have your Logistics teams send such documents with each shipment going to Cummins. For international shipments, these documents must arrive in the document packet received by our customs broker along with the commercial invoice.
  2. Email documentation to Cummins (One-time request): You must also send such documents to [email protected] with the following subject format: “SUPPLIER NAME  – YYYY-MM-DD - IRON STEEL DILIGENCE"  

       

    Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
