The invoice associated with the sale for export is not required for entries subsequent to a shipment’s first entry into the U.S., said CBP in a proposed ruling revocation published in the May 18 Customs Bulletin (here). Proposing to modify ruling HQ H109795, issued in 2012 in response to a request for advice from CBP Laredo, CBP in HQ H230176 would find that the invoice associated with a shipment from France to the Port of Miami is not required for that shipment’s subsequent warehouse entry in Laredo. Comments on the proposed ruling modification, as well as notice from any importers that have received similar rulings or treatment of their transactions, are due June 17.

CBP released the May 18 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 50, No. 18), which contains the following ruling actions (here):

The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that next month it will consider revoking the antidumping duty orders on cased pencils from China (A-570-827), paper clips from China (A-570-826) and granular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin (A-475-703) in an automatic five-year sunset review scheduled to begin in June (here). Advance notice is given because sunset reviews have short deadlines. An order will be revoked unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and the International Trade Commission finds that revocation would result in continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry. As a result, a negative determination by either Commerce or the ITC would result in the revocation of this order.

The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission began a five-year sunset review of the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from Russia (A-821-809).

U.S. exporters would be better served by the use of a “rational method” for verified gross mass (VGM) submissions under the Safety of the Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention, the Agriculture Transportation Coalition (AgTC) said in a statement ahead of a Congressional hearing on the issue. AgTC, the Coast Guard, the World Shipping Council (WSC), and the National Association of Waterfront Employers (NAWE) will each be represented during a hearing of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee hearing scheduled for April 14 (here), according to a committee staffer. The hearing will focus on maritime transportation safety and stewardship programs, and “getting some clarification on SOLAS is going to be a pretty big component,” the staffer said.

The Food and Drug Administration is issuing a final rule (here) setting new regulations on the sanitary transportation of food. The rule requires that “shippers, carriers by motor vehicle or rail vehicle, receivers, and other persons engaged in the transportation of food to use sanitary transportation practices to ensure that food is not transported under conditions that may render the food adulterated,” said the agency. Failure to comply results in the food being deemed adulterated by FDA.
