Friday Q&A

A lot of blogs set aside a day for a particular topic. I used to read a blog (before it got boring) that dedicated every Friday to a different philanthropy. Wayla-guy reviews the Sunday New York Times each week. Today, I am going to try and begin a habit of responding directly to search terms used by visitors to this site. These are not exactly questions, but I can generally figure out what was on that visitor's mind.

A lot of the search terms are repetitive and won't make for good posts. I am going to skip the most common search which is "customs law." Also, I am going to skip searches related to things I have recently blogged. So, that means I will skip discussing liquidation, the customs broker exam and Stuart Romm's laptop. Also, I will skip anything related to an off-topic post. That eliminates an unexpected number of visitors who have been looking for information on Kris Kristoferson and Felt F3C bicycles.

All of which leaves me with . . . Festive Articles. A lot of people (at least by my standards) have been searching for information regarding the tariff classification of festive articles and, in particular, the U.S. Court of International Trade's recent decision in Michael Simons Designs v. United States. But, I just blogged that! So, either I am keeping up with the online customs law zeitgeist, or people are finding my blog because of the stuff that is already here. Given the way search engines work, the latter is more likely the case.

Hmmm. Maybe this is a bad idea. We'll see if there is anything better by next Friday. In the meantime, feel free to post questions as comments or reach me via e-mail.

CAFC Decision in Double Invoicing Case

The Federal Circuit has issued a decision on the merits in United States v. Inn Foods, Inc.  There had been a previous decision on jurisdiction, which was followed by a trial at the Court of International Trade and then this appeal on the substance. The initial issue is whether Inn Foods' invoicing practice amounts to fraud.  Inn Foods had been receiving an invoice from growers in Mexico that had a relatively low sales prices on it.  Subsequent to entry, Inn Foods created a second invoice at something more similar to market value, retaining the original invoice number, and paid at that higher amount.   Superficially, this looks like a standard-issue double-invoicing scheme.  But, in the age of reconciliation, is it really more like a provisional pricing mechanism?  It might have been possible to make that argument had Inn Foods adjusted its entries accordingly.  It didn't and the loss of revenue was approximately $624,000.  Based on testimony and evidence indicating both knowl

Ninestar and UFLPA Exhaustion

Image
Exhaustion is a key doctrine in administrative law. When applicable, it requires that a party unhappy with an agency’s determination complete the administrative appeal process before turning to the courts for judicial review. Requiring exhaustion typically promotes judicial efficiency by ensuring that disputes are resolved at the agency and, if they are not, that there is a complete record of the agency process. Exhaustion also ensures that the judiciary respects the executive agencies and their expertise.  There are, on the other hand, times when the courts will find that exhaustion is not necessary or appropriate. Such is the case in  Ninestar Corporation et al. v. United States  et al., a decision of the U.S. Court of International Trade.  Ninestar is also interesting because it is one of the first cases in the CIT involving the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, known as UFLPA. In my hiatus from active blogging, I missed the rise of UFLPA as a major compliance topic. So, let's

Precious Tritium

Image
One thing I have learned as a customs lawyer who does a lot of classification work is that there are millions of odd items moving in international trade the existence of which I am completely ignorant. Such is the case of the gaseous tritium light sources used in, among other things, firearm sights. These things use tritium sealed in a glass that has been coated in phosphor. The radioactive tritium decays, releasing beta particles, which interact with the phosphor causing it to emit light. In other words, it creates light with no external power source. Pretty cool.  Tritium is, of course, a real thing. It is an isotope of hydrogen. We know this from the excellent documentary "Spider-Man." This comes up in relation to the Court of International Trade decision in Trijicon, Inc. v. United States  in which the importer challenged the tariff classification of several versions of the gaseous tritium light sources ("GTLS"). The plaintiff uses them to make gun sights. The
