Commerce Ends AD Duty Review After Finding Domestic Companies Hid Collusion With Chinese Exporters
June 15, 2017 |Top News

A group of Chinese garlic companies, a U.S. law firm and a group of small New Mexico farmers apparently worked in league to increase another Chinese exporter’s antidumping duty rate, the Commerce Department said in a memorandum issued in connection with its recently completed AD duty administrative review on garlic from China. Finding the law firm and the New Mexico farmers it represented made misstatements to hide their effort, Commerce in recent days ended its review of that exporter rather than assign it a high China-wide rate (see 1706140022).

Do No Harm and Support Trade Facilitation in Updated NAFTA, Commenters Say to USTR
June 13, 2017 by Brian Feito|Top News

NAFTA negotiators should embrace trade facilitation and “do no harm” to existing cross-border relationships as they rework the agreement, trade associations said in comments to the U.S. Trade Representative (here). USTR on June 13 extended the deadline for comment submission on the expected NAFTA renegotiation from June 12 until 11:59 p.m. on June 14, citing "high interest" and a need to ensure all interested participants have an opportunity to comment. USTR requested input on potential modifications to the agreement following the administration’s formal notification to Congress that it intends to start renegotiating the agreement as early as mid-August (see 1705220007 and 1705180043).

Interest on Past Due Duties Subject to Protest, CAFC Affirms
May 30, 2017 |Penalties and Courts

Interest on past due customs duties and fees are subject to the same protest and judicial challenge procedures as those for any other duty or fee, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said on May 26 (here). Affirming a Court of International Trade ruling from August 2015 (see 1508200013), the appeals court held that, because interest on past due bills is protestable, American Home Assurance Company (AHAC) waived its right to challenge CBP’s interest calculations because it did not file a court challenge on a denied protest of the interest by the applicable deadline.

CD and DVD Holders Classifiable as Albums, Not Containers, CBP Says
May 19, 2017 |Top News

A plastic-covered paperboard album set designed for holding CDs and DVDs is classifiable as an album for collectibles in heading 4820, not as a storage container or box file, CBP said in a recent tariff classification ruling (here). The album set is not similar to the containers described by tariff heading 4202, and the set of three albums gives the set its essential character over the slipcase, which on its own would have been classifiable in a different heading, CBP said in ruling HQ H244107.
