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").

Removal of Frozen Salmon From Section 301 Tariff List Applies Retroactively, CBP Says
September 28, 2018 |Customs

The removal of subheadings 0304.81.10 and 0304.81.50, which cover frozen salmon, from the recently implemented Section 301 10 percent tariffs applies retroactively to Sept. 24, CBP said in a CSMS message. "Any importer of goods classified in subheadings 0304.81.10 or 0304.84.50 in which Section 301 duties were assessed on or after that date can request a refund of the additional duties," CBP said. "Importers may file a post summary correction to request a refund of Section 301 duties assessed on goods classified in subheadings 0304.81.10 or 0304.84.50." The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative removed those subheadings (see 1809270038) “to account fully for the extensive public comments and testimony previously provided,” it said.

CBP Posts FAQs on Craft Beverage Modernization Act
September 27, 2018 |Customs

CBP released a list of frequently asked questions about the Craft Beverage Modernization Act, which allows CBP to issue refunds of excise taxes on beer, wine and distilled spirits. CBP encourages importers to use the CBMA flag at the time of entry, the agency said in the FAQs. "The CBMA flag is an indication that a CBMA claim may be filed," it said. "The flag, itself, is not the claim. CBP will issue additional procedures and requirements in early October on the information to be filed to complete a CBMA claim. Upon issuance of the October procedures and requirements, importers will be encouraged to file the claim documentation simultaneously with the transmission of the entry summary flag." CBP will issue separate procedures "addressing the CBMA‘s temporary changes to the tax classification of certain wines containing more than 14% but not more than 16% alcohol by volume," it said. The Excel spreadsheets required as part of a CBMA claim can be submitted through the Document Image System, it said. CBP issued a final rule in August on the CBMA (see 1808150030) and a CSMS message with instructions for CBMA claims (see 1809040037). The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau also has released a set of FAQs.

CBP Withdraws Proposed Modification of Shirt-Blouse Classification Ruling
September 27, 2018 |Customs

CBP is withdrawing its proposed modification of ruling on two styles of Guayabera shirt-blouses made of either linen or cotton, the agency said in the Sept. 26 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 52, No. 39). CBP proposed modifying a classification ruling in 2017 because the women’s Guayabera shirts are not precluded from classification under heading 6206 even though the bottom pockets start below the waist (see 1708180033). CBP received one comment in opposition to the proposed modification, the agency said. That comment stated that
CBP's reading of the applicable explanatory notes was "erroneous because men’s and boys’ shirts are an entirely different article of commerce than women’s and girls’ shirts and blouses, and entire industries are based on the difference," CBP said. "We recognize the distinction and find that the guayabera style shirt-blouses are properly classified in subheading 6211.49.90."
