CBP released its Nov. 2 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 56, No. 43). While it contains recent court decisions, no customs rulings are included.
CBP is no longer requiring payment of the dairy fee or merchandise processing fee (MPF) on entries of infant formula subject to duty-free treatment under the Formula Act (see 2207250027), it said in a CSMS message. The agency deployed a change in ACE on Oct. 27 to no longer require the fees through the end of this year, as provided for under the law, which was enacted in July (see 2207220069). Importers and brokers who have submitted entries eligible for the Formula Act may request a refund, by way of a post-summary correction for refunds of MPF and by a letter to USDA for refunds of the dairy fee, CBP said.

The Coalition for a Prosperous America, a free-trade-skeptical advocacy group, criticized CBP for issuing a report that said the value of goods that entered under de minimis in the previous fiscal year was $39,876,651,152 (see 2210180031). The group's trade counsel, Charles Benoit, wrote on Oct. 26 that CBP never disclosed a dollar figure before "because CBP does not know the true value for any period of time. They do not know because the majority of de minimis shipments arrive via international mail, and most international mail shipments do not contain electronic data."
