Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

CBP Affirms Port's Separate Classification of Machinery Parts, Not Single Entry
June 27, 2014 by Tim Warren|Top News

The CBP Port of Detroit was correct when it liquidated entries of machinery parts under four separate tariff provisions rather than under the importer's preferred single classification, agency headquarters said in a March 31 ruling. CBP headquarters said it took up the further review of protest "because the decision against which the protest was filed is alleged to be inconsistent with a ruling of the Commissioner of CBP or his designee, or with a decision made at any port with respect to the same or substantially similar merchandise." The ruling, HQ H213695, is in response to a protest filed by Witzenmann, a metal parts company.

CBP Rules Importer Can't File Single Entry for Machine Halves Out of Convenience
March 27, 2013 by Tim Warren|Top News

Convenience isn't enough of a reason for CBP to allow for a single entry for two halves of a machine arriving on separate carriers, the agency said in a March 22 ruling (HQ H234076). Sidel Canada asked CBP to rule whether the two pieces of a Combi machine, a beverage bottling machine, are eligible to be entered in a single entry. Sidel Canada would like to ship the two halves from different parts of Europe, rather than deal with the logistical and regulatory burdens of assembling the parts within Europe before shipping.

CIT Affirms CBP HTS Classification of Foot Callus Remover as 'Other Cutlery'
September 7, 2012 by Brian Feito|Penalties and Courts

The Court of International Trade ruled that CBP correctly classified plaintiff Telebrands Corporation’s PedEgg foot callus remover as other cutlery rather than a pedicure set. Although the device includes both a blade and emery pads to remove excess skin, the PedEgg is not a set because it is a single instrument, CIT said.
