Heartland went to Customs, explained its business plan, shared its tariff engineering formula, got a favorable "binding" ruling, and then imported under the supposed protection of the binding ruling. Along comes a powerful industry lobby that strong-arms Customs into revoking the ruling, causing Heartland years of litigation expense and lost business opportunity. Disgraceful. Not a proud moment for government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
