The Southern Shrimp Alliance offered its support for a CBP proposed modification to a ruling involving country of origin marking for cooked shrimp, in June 27 comments to the agency. The group said in a news release that CBP's proposal (see 1906040020) would rectify a ruling that was "inconsistent with over three decades of previous CBP ruling letters finding that the peeling, cooking, and other minor processing of shrimp in a third country did not constitute a substantial transformation and did not change the country-of-origin of the shrimp from where it had been harvested." The SSA said it also used the comments to "reinforce the importance of consistent determinations of country of origin for marking purposes of cooked and processed shrimp."
The Mediterranean Shipping Company ship that was found to be carrying a record 20 tons of cocaine was seized by CBP on July 4, the agency said in a July 8 news release.

China retained its position as the "primary source economy for counterfeit and pirated goods seized," CBP said in a post about fiscal year 2018 intellectual property rights seizure statistics. The goods from China had a total estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of "$761 million or 54 percent of the estimated MSRP value of all IPR seizures," the agency said. Wearing apparel and accessories was again the main category of seized counterfeits, representing 18 percent of all IPR seizures, CBP said. Seizures of computer networking equipment affixed with counterfeit trademarks increased by 25 percent year over year, accounting for $15.5 million in total MSRP in FY18. The total estimated MSRP of all the seized goods "increased to nearly $1.4 billion from over $1.2 billion in FY 2017," the agency said. "In FY 2018, [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-Homeland Security Investigation (HSI)] arrested 381 individuals, obtained 296 indictments, and received 260 convictions related to intellectual property crimes."
