Importer, US Still Hoping to Settle Customs Cases on Apparel Via Stipulation

Parties in a customs suit filed by Alpinestars concerning its wearing apparel and accessories are still hoping to settle the matter via stipulation, according to a status report. Alpinestars' case bears the same valuation issue as 40 other cases all filed by the same company, the report said. The importer said that in June 2022, the U.S. requested "additional records on selected entries covering all pending cases." Alpinestar is in the process of obtaining these documents, the report said (Alpinestars v. United States, CIT # 11-00007).
