The Agricultural Marketing Service advised CBP that the raspberry fee rate for red raspberry juice, including concentrate -- tariff number 2009.89.6055 -- went from $0.1496 per liter to $0.022 per liter, CBP said in a CSMS message. The AMS recently requested that CBP collect a raspberry fee for certain tariff numbers (see 14022516).
CBP is "grappling" with figuring out whether the "proper placement" for Section 337 exclusion order enforcement should remain at headquarters or within the Centers for Excellence and Expertise (CEEs), said Therese Randazzo, CBP director of Intellectual Property Rights Policy and Programs. There's still work to be done before the agency decides if the enforcement could be better handled at the CEEs, though one CEE has already started to handle such enforcement, she said while speaking at the American Conference Institute Import Compliance and Enforcement forum on June 13. "Currently, the enforcement of 337 orders still rests with headquarters, with the exception of enforcement orders that are in the electronics sector," said Randazzo. "The electronics Center for Excellence and Expertise is in fact doing enforcement of those orders, but all the rest are actually in my office." CBP is tasked with stopping imports named in Section 337 exclusion orders, which the International Trade Commission issues when it finds intellectual property rights violations to block imports of infringing products.
