Imported Penrose drains are properly classified as tubes of vulcanized rubber under heading 4009 and not hygienic or pharmaceutical articles of vulcanized rubber under heading 4014, according to a CBP ruling dated Oct. 6 and released recently. The drains at issue are soft tubes made of vulcanized latex rubber varying in size from ¼ inch to 1 inch in diameter.

Lab testing commissioned by Bloomberg News showed two instances in which garments shipped to the U.S. by fast fashion giant Shein were made using cotton from China’s Xinjiang region, according to a Nov. 20 report by Bloomberg. The report said Shein typically ships individually to customers in shipments valued at less than the $800 de minimis level, so the company’s apparel is able to avoid the scrutiny CBP applies to larger shipments. A German lab conducted the testing on two batches of garments from Shein, finding using a stable isotope analysis that the cotton in the garments matched samples of cotton from Xinjiang. CBP did not immediately comment.
CBP will deploy on Dec. 19 a new national permits tab in the modernized ACE portal that brokers will use to manage all broker permit information, the agency said in an updated trade information notice posted Nov. 21. When the new tab goes live, all broker permit-related information will become read-only in the legacy ACE portal, and brokers will find new tools to manage broker permit requirements, including for editing address details and adding and editing point of contact and employee information, with previous employment information and addresses no longer required. Brokers also will be able to view broker supervision plans in the new tab, though only new organizational broker accounts will require submissions of the plans. A canceled broker permits tab also will be deployed for organizational accounts, showing historical district permits in effect prior to the transition to the national permit, CBP said.
