Dec. 17 CBP Bulletin Proposes to Modify Rulings on Preferential Treatment of Garments

In the Dec. 17 issue of the CBP Customs Bulletin (Vol. 48, No. 50), CBP published notices that propose to modify or revoke rulings and similar treatment for the preferential treatment of garments under the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA), Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA) and Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (CTPA) (here).

Comments on Proposals Due Jan. 16

CBP said consideration will be given to any written comments received by Jan. 16 before taking this action. In addition, any party who has received a ruling or decision on the merchandise that is subject to the proposed revocations, or any party involved with a substantially identical transaction, should advise CBP by the date that written comments on the proposed ruling are due. (An importer's failure to advise CBP of such rulings, decisions, or substantially identical transactions may raise issues of reasonable care on the part of the importer or its agents for importations subsequent to the effective date of the final decision in this notice.)

Proposals

CBP is proposing to revoke or modify the rulings below, and any rulings on these products that may exist but have not been specifically identified. CBP is also proposing to revoke or modify any treatment it has previously accorded to substantially identical transactions.
