Should You Get a Binding Ruling?

What is a Binding Ruling?

Pursuant to the Customs Modernization Act, when importing merchandise into the U.S., it is now the responsibility of the importer of record to use “reasonable care” to “enter,” “classify,” and “value” the goods and provide any other information necessary to enable U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to properly assess duties, collect accurate statistics, and determine whether all other applicable legal requirements are met.

A binding ruing request can be extremely beneficial to importers, because it can provide them with certainty regarding concerns they may have about their merchandise. […]

MY GOODS HAVE BEEN SEIZED, WHAT SHOULD I DO?! / ¡Mis Bienes Han Sido Decomisados!, ¿Qué Debo Hacer?

Why Have My Goods Been Seized?

For many companies who begin the process of importing goods there is an expectation and an underlying hope that the entire process will run smoothly. However, if your product is not compliant with U.S. laws and regulations, 19 CFR Part 162 and 19 CFR 151 authorizes U.S. Customs & Border (CBP) to either detain or seize your goods upon importation. For importers, the best moment to contact a Customs expert is at the detention phase. This will expedite the correct communication with CBP and increase the likelihood of your product not being seized. […]

HAVE YOU Been Affected by The Continuance of Anti-Dumping and Subsidy Offset?

The list of domestic producers that have been personally affected were sent to the U.S International Trade Commission (USITC) and can be found on the federal register as well. The list indicates who is potentially eligible to receive an offset.

However, although your name may not be on the list, it does not necessarily mean that your company has not been affected. Any individual or company who may have purchased any portion of the operating assets of an affected domestic producer, a successor to an affected domestic producer, or an entity that otherwise previously received distribution may be jointly and severally liable for the return of any over payments. Therefore, for domestic producers who are not on the USITC list but believe they are eligible for a CDSOA distribution under one or more anti-dumping and/or countervailing duty cases are required, as are all potential claimants that expressly appear on the list, to properly file their certifications within 60 days after May 31, 2018. Certifications that are not filed within 60 days and/or fail to sufficiently establish a basis for eligibility will be summarily denied. […]
