The trade group offered support for the suspension on Section 301 duties that were related to digital services taxes, and said that "the notices confirm the application of Sec. 301 duty rates in effect at the time of Customs entry for subject merchandise admitted into a U.S. foreign-trade zone (FTZ) in mandated privileged-foreign (PF) status."
Car seat frames assembled in Mexico that include various Chinese-origin components aren't subject to Section 301 duties because the components are substantially transformed in Mexico, CBP said in a recent ruling.

Each of the scenarios involves similar production processes.
CBP's plans to extend the Part 102 marking rules from NAFTA to USMCA determinations of country of origin for nonpreferential claims and procurement under USMCA (see 2107010045) lacks the legal justifications needed to finalize the proposal, Novolex Holdings, a packaging conglomerate owned by the Carlyle Group, said in comments to the agency.

The comments were posted Aug. 11 in the docket.

The State Department announced penalties on eight foreign entities and their subsidies for illegal transfers under the Iran, North Korea and Syria Nonproliferation Act, an Aug. 9 notice said. The agency said the entities transferred items subject to multilateral control lists that contribute to weapons proliferation or missile production. The State Department barred them from purchasing items controlled on the U.S. Munitions List and by the Arms Export Control Act and will suspend any current export licenses used by the entities. The agency will also bar them from receiving new export licenses for any goods subject to the Export Administration Regulations. The restrictions will remain in place for two years from the July 29 effective date.
