Clear Terms

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").

June 25, 2013 by Claire Yan|Customs

CBP Says Lampposts Imported by Municipality May Not Be Subject to Country of Origin Marking
June 25, 2013 by Brian Feito|Customs

Cast iron and aluminum lampposts and lamppost bases, imported by a municipality and bearing the name of a U.S. locality, do not necessarily have to be conspicuously and indelibly marked with the country of origin, as long as the municipality is aware of the source, said CBP in a May 31 ruling. Domestic lamppost manufacturer Spring City Electrical Manufacturing Company requested the ruling, HQ H215535, arguing that when a product is imported by a municipality, the ultimate purchaser is the taxpaying public. Therefore, country of origin marking for lampposts imported by municipalities must be visible to the public, it said. CBP disagreed, pointing to past rulings, and also denied Spring City’s request to revoke one of those past rulings for lack of standing.
