CBP reminded importers that all blanched peanuts, whether wet-blanched or dry-blanched, should be classified under tariff schedule heading 1202, in a CSMS message sent Sept. 16.

CBP said USDA requested the clarification.

Importer and exporter certifications to avoid antidumping and countervailing duties on plywood imports from Vietnam are now due Dec. 1, CBP said in a CSMS message released Sept. 13. The Commerce Department had one day earlier extended the original Sept. 12 deadline, which applies to plywood imported from Vietnam and entered June 17, 2020, through Aug. 28, 2022. The certifications are required under a preliminary determination of circumvention Commerce issued at the end of July (see 2208080012), in which it found plywood made from Chinese inputs under five production scenarios are either covered by the scope of the AD/CVD orders on Chinese hardwood plywood or circumventing them. Certifications are required for plywood not produced from Chinese inputs or under one of those production scenarios to claim Vietnamese origin.
