a33ede90-56ed-4efc-bf40-ad115eac2f7c-0
00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:58.120
I do need to briefly review this
disclaimer.

00:02:16.289 --> 00:02:20.671
complicated factors that may be
involved in customs import

bd98c3d1-3a3c-4478-adca-efa8d2a44f48-0
00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:02.483
As I referenced a few slides
ago, I bring this up every

bd98c3d1-3a3c-4478-adca-efa8d2a44f48-1
00:03:02.483 --> 00:03:03.320
webinar I do.

16a2bef1-9cc5-4dff-838b-29b2b057019b-0
00:03:03.320 --> 00:03:04.320
It's very important.

8ad2c614-7c56-43e5-bdc6-6e350194d505-0
00:03:04.320 --> 00:03:07.944
But this is just a reminder that
members of the trade community

8ad2c614-7c56-43e5-bdc6-6e350194d505-1
00:03:07.944 --> 00:03:10.720
may want to consider obtaining a
binding ruling.

7ea4e4f7-c02f-425b-99a6-79b657465051-0
00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:15.365
Binding rulings are a free
service that Customs provides

7ea4e4f7-c02f-425b-99a6-79b657465051-1
00:03:15.365 --> 00:03:19.691
here in the NCSD and the Office
of Trade that offers the

7ea4e4f7-c02f-425b-99a6-79b657465051-2
00:03:19.691 --> 00:03:24.472
official positions of Customs
with respect to a particular set

7ea4e4f7-c02f-425b-99a6-79b657465051-3
00:03:24.472 --> 00:03:27.280
of facts for a transaction or
issue.

8071cd49-90c5-4b11-a6d9-241b49e8bc76-0
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:31.495
Our office in the NTSD offers
binding rollings for

00:03:34.596 --> 00:03:37.480
generally provide a response
within 30 days from the

8071cd49-90c5-4b11-a6d9-241b49e8bc76-3
00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:40.799
submission of each request,
while many of these requests are

8071cd49-90c5-4b11-a6d9-241b49e8bc76-4
00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:42.160
responded to much sooner.

68587a94-469e-41fa-aff1-45329a0afdfc-0
00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:46.814

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:54.926
At the end of this presentation,
I'm going to put up a slide on

7eb7deee-d796-4432-9e03-f6a66a5664d1-1
00:03:54.926 --> 00:03:58.478
some of the list of the common
questions that we ask to help

00:03:58.478 --> 00:03:59.759
expedite this process.

00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:05.872
Please take note of this link to
which this webinar will be

00:04:06.320 --> 00:04:10.034
It generally takes the
webmasters working very hard

a00fe9f6-1c50-4c83-a4f2-ed74ed00b426-1
00:04:10.034 --> 00:04:14.605
behind the scenes to a few weeks
to vet and receive approval to

a00fe9f6-1c50-4c83-a4f2-ed74ed00b426-2
00:04:14.605 --> 00:04:15.320
post this.

00:04:22.020 --> 00:04:26.494
Also, Please note as questions
come up, the Customs rolling

d5758176-53cb-470d-89e4-ea4c6d40fd7b-1
00:04:26.494 --> 00:04:28.060
online search system.

2825cfa2-fa0a-4fd9-a7fc-b167a7e3c77d-0
00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:31.420
CROSS is updated regularly and
it's a good resource for

2825cfa2-fa0a-4fd9-a7fc-b167a7e3c77d-1
00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:32.320
classification.

57af17bf-25cd-4680-a425-a1b0d32c0c1f-0
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.429
It represents the official
position of custom with respect

57af17bf-25cd-4680-a425-a1b0d32c0c1f-1
00:04:37.429 --> 00:04:41.000
to a particular set of facts for
a transaction.

9fca0ad3-bd8a-4f4e-b1a0-1b605dc29153-0
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.299
Once a ruling is issued, it is
binding until modified or

9fca0ad3-bd8a-4f4e-b1a0-1b605dc29153-1
00:04:46.299 --> 00:04:46.880

defc081a-d6e4-4af6-a283-8afaa6adadc6-0
00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:51.246
However, I always recommend
before you do this, apply the

defc081a-d6e4-4af6-a283-8afaa6adadc6-1
00:04:51.246 --> 00:04:55.165
general rules of interpretation
to the specific set of facts

defc081a-d6e4-4af6-a283-8afaa6adadc6-2
00:04:55.165 --> 00:04:59.405
that you are reviewing first and
use CROSS as a tool for research

defc081a-d6e4-4af6-a283-8afaa6adadc6-3
00:04:59.405 --> 00:05:02.040
to support your decision after
the fact.

dd71fef6-aebc-4016-91ab-3da3faf892d8-0
00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:10.087
So in this year's webinar series
we were challenged to try and do

dd71fef6-aebc-4016-91ab-3da3faf892d8-1
00:05:10.087 --> 00:05:14.206
something a little different and
focus on the Office of Trade's

dd71fef6-aebc-4016-91ab-3da3faf892d8-2
00:05:14.206 --> 00:05:15.880
mission for greener trade.

045f91ce-fa5d-49a9-8107-b2ce003fc9e3-0
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.423
Generally, green trade imports
refer to the importation of

045f91ce-fa5d-49a9-8107-b2ce003fc9e3-1
00:05:20.423 --> 00:05:24.040
products or commodities that
meet specific environmental

045f91ce-fa5d-49a9-8107-b2ce003fc9e3-2
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.340
criteria and adheres to
sustainable practices using

045f91ce-fa5d-49a9-8107-b2ce003fc9e3-3
00:05:27.340 --> 00:05:30.766
environmental and natural
resources, climate friendly

045f91ce-fa5d-49a9-8107-b2ce003fc9e3-4
00:05:30.766 --> 00:05:33.748
technologies, fabrics,
ingredients, machinery,

045f91ce-fa5d-49a9-8107-b2ce003fc9e3-5
00:05:33.748 --> 00:05:34.319
etcetera.

e4f23bb0-5263-4709-9761-4f913797a07d-0
00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:38.120
Based on this request, we have
teared the webinar towards the

e4f23bb0-5263-4709-9761-4f913797a07d-1
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.853
classification of eco friendly
food products that promote

e4f23bb0-5263-4709-9761-4f913797a07d-2
00:05:40.853 --> 00:05:41.560
sustainability.

a7aa3ffe-3321-437a-9124-c376054f23cd-0
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.372
Today's topics will first start
by doing a brief high level

a7aa3ffe-3321-437a-9124-c376054f23cd-1
00:05:46.372 --> 00:05:50.303
overview of the section chapters
of the agricultural areas of the

a7aa3ffe-3321-437a-9124-c376054f23cd-2

tariff.

b399b09f-11ab-4c69-87a0-6d3f9a6482bc-0
00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:54.803
Next, I'm going to delve into a
brief background of the CBP

b399b09f-11ab-4c69-87a0-6d3f9a6482bc-1
00:05:54.803 --> 00:05:58.326
Green Strategy, Green Trade

b399b09f-11ab-4c69-87a0-6d3f9a6482bc-2
00:05:58.326 --> 00:05:59.560
of this presentation.

472fecdf-1a78-44bf-a6b4-af239196514e-0
00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:03.351
It's just going to be followed
by delving straight into the

472fecdf-1a78-44bf-a6b4-af239196514e-1
00:06:03.351 --> 00:06:06.534
classification of the top green
sustainable foods that promote

472fecdf-1a78-44bf-a6b4-af239196514e-2
00:06:06.534 --> 00:06:09.162
sustainability that fall under
my tariff numbers of

00:06:09.162 --> 00:06:09.919

00:06:17.640 --> 00:06:21.080
So we may have a diverse
audience today.

b7d93bb2-7a5a-4b70-81de-3549dde15e4f-0
00:06:21.080 --> 00:06:23.914
So many are skilled with the
tariff and many of those who are

b7d93bb2-7a5a-4b70-81de-3549dde15e4f-1
00:06:23.914 --> 00:06:25.240
unfamiliar or very new to it.

9bf75eb8-bb0e-4b4a-9ab2-5bcd0135d292-0
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.400
So I want to cover some very
basics here.

cd7f189a-9533-457f-9118-e57b7b4e5471-0
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.520
Sections one through 4 of the
the tariff make up the

cd7f189a-9533-457f-9118-e57b7b4e5471-1
00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:35.263
agricultural and prepared
products area of first divided

00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:40.382
Chapters are first grouped into
sections based on similar

4dcb0fd8-fa13-4f1e-a632-5ec3688724b4-1
00:06:40.382 --> 00:06:43.520
material and organized according
to the level of processing.

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.394
They progress from primary or
basic articles to more

431e58ec-55b9-41c1-a8db-3b79072ec5c4-1
00:06:47.394 --> 00:06:48.880
technically complex articles.

b34009de-308f-4abe-9c16-39610ca8bf0d-0
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.467
So to kind of give you an
example of what I mean, they're

b34009de-308f-4abe-9c16-39610ca8bf0d-1
00:06:54.467 --> 00:06:58.188
the vegetables named in the
initial headings provide for

b34009de-308f-4abe-9c16-39610ca8bf0d-2
00:06:58.188 --> 00:07:02.106
within Section 2, Chapter 7
provide for those vegetables in

b34009de-308f-4abe-9c16-39610ca8bf0d-3
00:07:02.106 --> 00:07:04.000
a fresh or chilled condition.

de40338c-5906-4fd5-ac1f-ce88a39f64b9-0
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.096
For example, in heading O7O3, it
provides for onion, garlics, and

de40338c-5906-4fd5-ac1f-ce88a39f64b9-1
00:07:08.096 --> 00:07:10.720
other alaceous vegetables fresh
or chilled.

7b8f38b4-ea5e-4c85-8770-6a587528ea22-0
00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:15.237
As the headings in the chapter
progress, the evolution of the

7b8f38b4-ea5e-4c85-8770-6a587528ea22-1
00:07:15.237 --> 00:07:19.096
vegetable advances to a primary
article from a primary article

00:07:19.096 --> 00:07:22.220
to a more quote UN quote
slightly more technically

7b8f38b4-ea5e-4c85-8770-6a587528ea22-3
00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:23.200
complex article.

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.145
O 712, for example, provides for
dried importations of those

6cc7f0ac-da86-4e06-9bb7-67e8c7d4986d-1
00:07:28.145 --> 00:07:31.202
named vegetables in the
preceding headings that are

00:07:31.202 --> 00:07:34.670
either a whole cut slice, broken
in powder but not further

00:07:39.795 --> 00:07:43.912
two O 5, we generally provide
for those vegetables that have

fc8fcc89-070a-4399-98ff-166f04260833-2
00:07:43.912 --> 00:07:47.625

f29e7cca-bd88-432c-b491-70fe78930648-0
00:07:57.870 --> 00:08:01.913
With that little background out
of the way, let's dive straight

f29e7cca-bd88-432c-b491-70fe78930648-1
00:08:01.913 --> 00:08:03.430
into the topics at hand.

0b536b19-5ad2-47b0-9cd5-ff8ea0f17fb2-0
00:08:03.950 --> 00:08:07.881
So the Customs and Border
Protection Green Trade Strategy

0b536b19-5ad2-47b0-9cd5-ff8ea0f17fb2-1
00:08:07.881 --> 00:08:11.270
was launched very recently in
the summer of 2022.

96dfd706-53c1-4d50-80eb-58a392d0dc0d-0
00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:15.992
The policy governs the agency's
efforts to combat climate change

96dfd706-53c1-4d50-80eb-58a392d0dc0d-1
00:08:15.992 --> 00:08:19.890
in the context of our trade
mission and provides a framework

96dfd706-53c1-4d50-80eb-58a392d0dc0d-2
00:08:19.890 --> 00:08:22.956
to incentivize green trade,
strengthening CB PS

96dfd706-53c1-4d50-80eb-58a392d0dc0d-3
00:08:22.956 --> 00:08:26.279
environmental enforcement

00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.857
innovation, and improve climate
resilience and resource

96dfd706-53c1-4d50-80eb-58a392d0dc0d-5
00:08:29.857 --> 00:08:30.560
efficiency.

38060f4e-5726-41af-b670-abf164810ee9-0
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.077
The vision of the Green Trade
Division is to establish Customs

38060f4e-5726-41af-b670-abf164810ee9-1
00:08:35.077 --> 00:08:38.441
as a champion for the green
economy and a leader for the

38060f4e-5726-41af-b670-abf164810ee9-2
00:08:38.441 --> 00:08:42.099
fight against climate change and
environmental degradation by

38060f4e-5726-41af-b670-abf164810ee9-3
00:08:42.099 --> 00:08:45.286
facilitating the global
transition to green trade and

38060f4e-5726-41af-b670-abf164810ee9-4
00:08:45.286 --> 00:08:48.649
serving as a responsible Seward
on our own environmental

38060f4e-5726-41af-b670-abf164810ee9-5
00:08:48.649 --> 00:08:49.240
footprint.

ff2cebf1-0a7a-4c63-acea-dd8d57105306-0
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.463
Now, green trade could mean a
lot of different things, and

ff2cebf1-0a7a-4c63-acea-dd8d57105306-1
00:08:53.463 --> 00:08:54.720
it's a very vague term.

a47c221a-237b-4842-a911-d83632ba3e61-0
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.684
So when CBP is promoting green
trade through strategy, the

a47c221a-237b-4842-a911-d83632ba3e61-1
00:08:59.684 --> 00:09:03.421
agency is minimizing the
environmental harms while

a47c221a-237b-4842-a911-d83632ba3e61-2
00:09:03.421 --> 00:09:06.279
maximizing the environmental
benefits.

f0825933-f629-481b-840b-383084716b1d-0
00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:10.669
These benefits can come from the
type of goods that are traded,

f0825933-f629-481b-840b-383084716b1d-1
00:09:10.669 --> 00:09:14.400
the innovation that are brought
to the products that are made.

2610dd0c-9647-462c-9437-adf2c606690b-0
00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:18.920
For example, almost any product
can be made greener.

019cb1a7-4ceb-4af7-8e5e-43309447991e-0
00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:24.401
The strategy establishes a
proactive model to combat the

019cb1a7-4ceb-4af7-8e5e-43309447991e-1
00:09:24.401 --> 00:09:27.883
negative impacts of climate
change and the environmental

019cb1a7-4ceb-4af7-8e5e-43309447991e-2
00:09:27.883 --> 00:09:30.877
degradation on the Agency's
trade mission, while

019cb1a7-4ceb-4af7-8e5e-43309447991e-3
00:09:30.877 --> 00:09:34.175
strengthening existing
enforcement activities against

019cb1a7-4ceb-4af7-8e5e-43309447991e-4
00:09:34.175 --> 00:09:37.779
trade crime such as illegal
logging, wildlife trafficking,

019cb1a7-4ceb-4af7-8e5e-43309447991e-5
00:09:37.779 --> 00:09:41.505
trafficking, illegal unreported
and unregulated fishing, and

019cb1a7-4ceb-4af7-8e5e-43309447991e-6
00:09:41.505 --> 00:09:45.110
other violations of laws and
regulations also define goals

019cb1a7-4ceb-4af7-8e5e-43309447991e-7
00:09:45.110 --> 00:09:47.920
for environmental sustainable
trade policies.

86e1d157-8085-4e5a-8c33-c1e791925ab8-0
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:55.014
For more information on the CBP
Green Straight Strategy and in

86e1d157-8085-4e5a-8c33-c1e791925ab8-1
00:09:55.014 --> 00:09:59.635
deeper depth, please see the

86e1d157-8085-4e5a-8c33-c1e791925ab8-2
00:09:59.635 --> 00:10:01.200
For more information.

9d84120c-dace-4eba-86a4-4fc948a06489-0
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.018
So with that overview of the
cornerstone of the CVP Green

9d84120c-dace-4eba-86a4-4fc948a06489-1
00:10:08.018 --> 00:10:11.802
trade strategy out of the way,
let's take a look at the top

9d84120c-dace-4eba-86a4-4fc948a06489-2
00:10:11.802 --> 00:10:15.712
green food commodities I will be
overviewing today and how we

9d84120c-dace-4eba-86a4-4fc948a06489-3
00:10:15.712 --> 00:10:17.920
would classify them in the
tariff.

55e15a8d-67ab-4fed-b50a-5f22457763f5-0
00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:22.016
So the top green products that
fall under my area of

55e15a8d-67ab-4fed-b50a-5f22457763f5-1
00:10:22.016 --> 00:10:25.584
responsibility in the tariff
will include pulses, leafy

55e15a8d-67ab-4fed-b50a-5f22457763f5-2
00:10:25.584 --> 00:10:29.280
greens, mushrooms, seaweed and
alternative meat products.

8797d247-1fae-4500-8095-ee64c358e068-0
00:10:29.880 --> 00:10:33.472
However, there are a number of
other commodities that make the

8797d247-1fae-4500-8095-ee64c358e068-1
00:10:33.472 --> 00:10:35.640
list of the top 10 sustainable
foods.

c308b97e-0241-4a11-abf2-2d8312351990-0
00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:40.045
Some of these include mussels,
cereals, grains, grass fed beef

c308b97e-0241-4a11-abf2-2d8312351990-1
00:10:40.045 --> 00:10:40.600
and oats.

56a1b82a-c41d-42e5-8759-63d2e586e327-0
00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:45.972
The latter of these commodities
fall under the tariff areas of

56a1b82a-c41d-42e5-8759-63d2e586e327-1
00:10:45.972 --> 00:10:49.855
responsibility of my colleagues
and may be classified in

56a1b82a-c41d-42e5-8759-63d2e586e327-2
00:10:49.855 --> 00:10:53.943
Chapters 3:10, 11/16/19 all
throughout sections one through

56a1b82a-c41d-42e5-8759-63d2e586e327-3
00:10:53.943 --> 00:10:54.080
4.

21a5c63f-d253-4d77-a571-c7eacdb4ad21-0
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.801
On this slide you'll see my
colleagues contact information

21a5c63f-d253-4d77-a571-c7eacdb4ad21-1
00:10:58.801 --> 00:11:02.358
in addition to some information
on the top sustainable foods

21a5c63f-d253-4d77-a571-c7eacdb4ad21-2
00:11:02.358 --> 00:11:04.400
that could be found on this
slide.

f034eff6-0e64-4b9f-b456-d8a58119bea0-0
00:11:10.590 --> 00:11:14.270
So the number one ranked
sustainable food are considered

f034eff6-0e64-4b9f-b456-d8a58119bea0-1
00:11:14.270 --> 00:11:15.110
to be pulses.

45d54959-f04f-4f55-a1ef-47117d9ad4e8-0
00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:19.070
These pulses include lentils,
chickpeas, peas, beans.

536e808b-3c96-4eb5-abc1-ca08b53d2e54-0
00:11:19.910 --> 00:11:23.915
Pulses are tiny plants that are
said to be nutritional

536e808b-3c96-4eb5-abc1-ca08b53d2e54-1
00:11:23.915 --> 00:11:24.790
powerhouses.

7136a6a2-0dad-4f8a-96a9-3ef4b6145c69-0
00:11:24.790 --> 00:11:28.376
These pulses are packed with
protein, low in fat, rich and

7136a6a2-0dad-4f8a-96a9-3ef4b6145c69-1
00:11:28.376 --> 00:11:32.085
soluble fiber and have been
found to help reduce the risk of

7136a6a2-0dad-4f8a-96a9-3ef4b6145c69-2
00:11:32.085 --> 00:11:34.760
chronic diseases on the
environmental side.

2e0a7e82-cec4-476e-b5bb-adbbf18b6eec-0
00:11:34.760 --> 00:11:38.668
Pulses also have an incredible
ability to self fertilize the

2e0a7e82-cec4-476e-b5bb-adbbf18b6eec-1
00:11:38.668 --> 00:11:42.449
soil as their roots contain
bacteria that convert nitrogen

2e0a7e82-cec4-476e-b5bb-adbbf18b6eec-2
00:11:42.449 --> 00:11:46.486
in the air into a different form
that could be used by plants,

2e0a7e82-cec4-476e-b5bb-adbbf18b6eec-3
00:11:46.486 --> 00:11:50.011
thus reducing the need for
artificial fertilizers that

2e0a7e82-cec4-476e-b5bb-adbbf18b6eec-4
00:11:50.011 --> 00:11:53.920
could run off into our water
table and damage our ecosystem.

231c1190-8eb4-435b-9ff7-7253d74f374a-0
00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:58.080
Pulses also use less land to
produce more potent protein.

a1d0dd5e-7a5d-4d9b-ba83-4c9b6132c325-0
00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:59.920
Here's a fun fact I found.

457d345d-7371-4248-ac7d-bdbd203a56ed-0
00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:04.173
It takes nearly 100 times more
land to produce a gram of

457d345d-7371-4248-ac7d-bdbd203a56ed-1
00:12:04.173 --> 00:12:07.680
protein from lamb or beef versus
peas or tofu.

208f326d-2651-4d56-9e4a-7a395a311c04-0
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.406
Also, the World Wildlife
Federation praises beans and

208f326d-2651-4d56-9e4a-7a395a311c04-1
00:12:12.406 --> 00:12:16.099
other pulses, including lentils,
peas and chickpeas, for their

208f326d-2651-4d56-9e4a-7a395a311c04-2
00:12:16.099 --> 00:12:19.852
ability to convert nitrogen from
the air and fix it into a form

208f326d-2651-4d56-9e4a-7a395a311c04-3
00:12:19.852 --> 00:12:22.080
that could be readily used by
plants.

cc6d288a-5570-43ff-bca5-2f824200b937-0
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.426
Pulses also heavily rely on
green water, which is said to be

cc6d288a-5570-43ff-bca5-2f824200b937-1
00:12:26.426 --> 00:12:30.502
water from precipitation that's
stored in the root zone of the

cc6d288a-5570-43ff-bca5-2f824200b937-2
00:12:30.502 --> 00:12:34.320
soil and evaporated, transpired
or incorporated by plants.

aeb5aedc-e8d2-4f24-9f6b-c64761a1037a-0
00:12:39.160 --> 00:12:43.080
But how do we classify these
pulses in the tariff?

48742d4c-de5b-407e-aaaa-2257e34c79b5-0
00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:47.241
Now, referring back to just a
few slides ago when I provided a

48742d4c-de5b-407e-aaaa-2257e34c79b5-1
00:12:47.241 --> 00:12:50.915
brief overview of the Harmonized
Tariff schedule, slide chapters

48742d4c-de5b-407e-aaaa-2257e34c79b5-2
00:12:50.915 --> 00:12:54.420
are first grouped into sections
based on similar material and

48742d4c-de5b-407e-aaaa-2257e34c79b5-3
00:12:54.420 --> 00:12:57.360
are organized according to the
level of processing.

96be0f56-e940-4aee-8edd-3754497abf56-0
00:12:57.800 --> 00:13:00.566
They progress from primary or
basic articles to more

96be0f56-e940-4aee-8edd-3754497abf56-1
00:13:00.566 --> 00:13:02.080
technically complex articles.

aa9ed8e4-105b-4b18-8ddd-8c9a8311abb2-0
00:13:02.640 --> 00:13:05.880
Applying that little basic
information and guidance, the

aa9ed8e4-105b-4b18-8ddd-8c9a8311abb2-1
00:13:05.880 --> 00:13:09.517
first heading we consider is in
Section 2, specifically heading

aa9ed8e4-105b-4b18-8ddd-8c9a8311abb2-2
00:13:09.517 --> 00:13:10.200
O Seven O 8.

969af55b-45f8-42ad-bfe8-c1abd3423e60-0
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.390
This heading provides for
leguminous vegetables, shelled

969af55b-45f8-42ad-bfe8-c1abd3423e60-1
00:13:13.390 --> 00:13:15.920
or unshelled, important a
fresher, chilled condition.

03be6129-c0f6-4bbe-a42b-fa9e28b2fab6-0
00:13:17.160 --> 00:13:20.972
The explanatory notes to the
setting provide guidance that

03be6129-c0f6-4bbe-a42b-fa9e28b2fab6-1
00:13:20.972 --> 00:13:24.913
these vegetables include peas of
the species Pisum satavium,

03be6129-c0f6-4bbe-a42b-fa9e28b2fab6-2
00:13:24.913 --> 00:13:27.240
which include greener fodder
beans.

9e02bab1-37d5-497a-aafb-2b639b2640d5-0
00:13:27.880 --> 00:13:31.160
Second include beans of the
species Fasselusus.

8f413341-68ad-44db-b2e2-c53487ec06df-0
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.510
This includes lime or butter
beans, mung beans and beans, and

8f413341-68ad-44db-b2e2-c53487ec06df-1
00:13:34.510 --> 00:13:35.120
edible pods.

4864d2b3-0d68-43c8-a241-18817f40050c-0
00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:39.170
The setting also includes broad
beans, horse beans, isynth

4864d2b3-0d68-43c8-a241-18817f40050c-1
00:13:39.170 --> 00:13:42.720
beans, in addition to chickpeas,
lentils, and gour seeds.

413a49af-3972-46f8-b91d-a5b06247be00-0
00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:48.903
However, it's very important
that I take note of this and

413a49af-3972-46f8-b91d-a5b06247be00-1
00:13:48.903 --> 00:13:52.833
stress this that this heading
excludes soybeans and locust

413a49af-3972-46f8-b91d-a5b06247be00-2
00:13:52.833 --> 00:13:56.696
beans and refers us to Chapter
12, which provides for oil

413a49af-3972-46f8-b91d-a5b06247be00-3
00:13:56.696 --> 00:14:00.560
seeds, oleoganias, fruit,
miscellaneous grains, and other

413a49af-3972-46f8-b91d-a5b06247be00-4
00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:00.960
items.

aee9feaf-323f-4c60-a073-81bbe1d4c7dc-0
00:14:01.640 --> 00:14:05.018
It's also important to emphasize
that the tariff makes a clear

aee9feaf-323f-4c60-a073-81bbe1d4c7dc-1
00:14:05.018 --> 00:14:08.183
distinction between leguminous
vegetables and other edible

aee9feaf-323f-4c60-a073-81bbe1d4c7dc-2
00:14:08.183 --> 00:14:11.239
parts of plants for tariff
classification purposes only.

61af9dc1-7a6a-41d8-bedc-c68928c45eb3-0
00:14:12.640 --> 00:14:15.355
Now, when any of these pulses
are imported in a dried

61af9dc1-7a6a-41d8-bedc-c68928c45eb3-1
00:14:15.355 --> 00:14:18.021
condition, whether or not
scanned or split, they are

61af9dc1-7a6a-41d8-bedc-c68928c45eb3-2
00:14:18.021 --> 00:14:19.480
classified and heading O 713.

b6de8431-fc66-4865-b0b7-97c7ce852f8b-0
00:14:19.640 --> 00:14:22.670
This will cover leguminous
vegetables of heading O seven O

b6de8431-fc66-4865-b0b7-97c7ce852f8b-1
00:14:22.670 --> 00:14:24.520
8 which have been dried or
shelled.

bfa4371a-68ab-4690-bf3c-5ef7c0f49c93-0
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.564
If these pulses happen to be
processed beyond the scope of

bfa4371a-68ab-4690-bf3c-5ef7c0f49c93-1
00:14:28.564 --> 00:14:32.166
these headings, for example, a
pulse that has been processed

bfa4371a-68ab-4690-bf3c-5ef7c0f49c93-2
00:14:32.166 --> 00:14:35.769
into a flour meal or powder,
they're excluded from Chapter 7

bfa4371a-68ab-4690-bf3c-5ef7c0f49c93-3
00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:38.839
altogether and classified under
heading eleven O 6.

7b4e65bd-9cdb-4e5d-acbd-70fc1549e9b4-0
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.633
In addition to applying the GR
is and the natural progression

7b4e65bd-9cdb-4e5d-acbd-70fc1549e9b4-1
00:14:43.633 --> 00:14:47.010
of the chapters in the tariff
legal note 3D to Chapter 7, in

7b4e65bd-9cdb-4e5d-acbd-70fc1549e9b4-2
00:14:47.010 --> 00:14:50.111
addition to the article
description language to heading

7b4e65bd-9cdb-4e5d-acbd-70fc1549e9b4-3
00:14:50.111 --> 00:14:52.935
eleven O 6 is the legal
authority to support these

7b4e65bd-9cdb-4e5d-acbd-70fc1549e9b4-4
00:14:52.935 --> 00:14:54.319
classification decisions.

40b44e05-fa94-44c3-987a-9fce1d1a59b8-0
00:14:55.640 --> 00:14:59.743
Now in scenarios when pulses are
prepared to preserve beyond the

40b44e05-fa94-44c3-987a-9fce1d1a59b8-1
00:14:59.743 --> 00:15:03.594
scope of Section 2, for example,
roasted, toasted, flavored,

40b44e05-fa94-44c3-987a-9fce1d1a59b8-2
00:15:03.594 --> 00:15:07.066
incorporated into a prepared
meal, they're going to be

40b44e05-fa94-44c3-987a-9fce1d1a59b8-3
00:15:07.066 --> 00:15:10.727
classified in Section 4,
specifically Chapter 20 headings

40b44e05-fa94-44c3-987a-9fce1d1a59b8-4
00:15:10.727 --> 00:15:14.200
2O four and two O 5 as prepare
to preserve vegetables.

54d33e0d-b796-4dcd-af74-5dec01a5314b-0
00:15:15.800 --> 00:15:19.744
So to try and put all this into
context, I wanted to highlight a

54d33e0d-b796-4dcd-af74-5dec01a5314b-1
00:15:19.744 --> 00:15:23.689
recently issued ruling that you
see at the bottom of your screen

54d33e0d-b796-4dcd-af74-5dec01a5314b-2
00:15:23.689 --> 00:15:27.391
there, 318222, which involved
the classification of a flower

54d33e0d-b796-4dcd-af74-5dec01a5314b-3
00:15:27.391 --> 00:15:29.880
derived from the Hall sweet
white Lupin.

38a1e7d5-0314-49bf-852f-1f99e0e15fb2-0
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.704
It was said to be used as a
flower substitute in baked

38a1e7d5-0314-49bf-852f-1f99e0e15fb2-1
00:15:33.704 --> 00:15:34.000
goods.

38b30511-08d9-4c2d-a6a2-66fab06c20a1-0
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.203
And although Lupin is
commercially considered a

38b30511-08d9-4c2d-a6a2-66fab06c20a1-1
00:15:37.203 --> 00:15:40.151
Lugumi, you would 11 would
initially think it would fall

38b30511-08d9-4c2d-a6a2-66fab06c20a1-2
00:15:40.151 --> 00:15:41.600
under these headings, right?

96ea0c03-5420-459c-be1d-73e15a508f19-0
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.718
Well, despite being a legumi in
the common meeting is not

96ea0c03-5420-459c-be1d-73e15a508f19-1
00:15:44.718 --> 00:15:47.730
considered one for tariff
classification purposes under

96ea0c03-5420-459c-be1d-73e15a508f19-2
00:15:47.730 --> 00:15:49.720
the headings that I just
referenced.

9409f986-a900-4501-855b-4ce788a284a3-0
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:54.426
This is because Lupin appears EO
nominee in Chapter 12 heading

9409f986-a900-4501-855b-4ce788a284a3-1
00:15:54.426 --> 00:15:54.800
1214.

6deb5349-f219-4f13-97c7-c7c03d89a0ca-0
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:59.162
This is similar to the example
of soybeans being excluded from

6deb5349-f219-4f13-97c7-c7c03d89a0ca-1
00:15:59.162 --> 00:16:01.280
the classification in Chapter
12.

fbcb7697-e052-44c1-8dc5-c77f1c41b2b5-0
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.915
Since it's not listed EO nominee
in the headings or identified in

fbcb7697-e052-44c1-8dc5-c77f1c41b2b5-1
00:16:05.915 --> 00:16:09.129
the legal notes, it would not be
considered aluminum luguminous

fbcb7697-e052-44c1-8dc5-c77f1c41b2b5-2
00:16:09.129 --> 00:16:11.440
vegetable for tariff
classification purposes.

1aee4ce2-557a-4205-af54-d19aded219a0-0
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.642
Since Lupin is not considered a
luguminous vegetable when

1aee4ce2-557a-4205-af54-d19aded219a0-1
00:16:14.642 --> 00:16:18.230
prepared or preserved, it would
not be classified in the heading

1aee4ce2-557a-4205-af54-d19aded219a0-2
00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:21.267
for prepared luguminous
vegetable flowers such as such

1aee4ce2-557a-4205-af54-d19aded219a0-3
00:16:21.267 --> 00:16:24.690
as those flowers of luguminous
vegetables that are classified

1aee4ce2-557a-4205-af54-d19aded219a0-4
00:16:24.690 --> 00:16:25.960
and heading eleven O 6.

a5b5c476-4c1b-4515-b0d4-a122c8a6762e-0
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:32.595
So in the case of this Lupin
flower, it was ultimately

a5b5c476-4c1b-4515-b0d4-a122c8a6762e-1
00:16:32.595 --> 00:16:39.112
classified and heading 19 O1 as
a food preparation of flower

a5b5c476-4c1b-4515-b0d4-a122c8a6762e-2
00:16:39.112 --> 00:16:44.773
grows or meal coming in at the
second rank top green

a5b5c476-4c1b-4515-b0d4-a122c8a6762e-3
00:16:44.773 --> 00:16:46.590
sustainable food.

72f8e07f-76bb-403b-a2fd-f1513b750a56-0
00:16:46.590 --> 00:16:47.910
We have leafy greens.

2012faf3-5ab2-42ab-93b3-4e1e924c7cd9-0
00:16:48.070 --> 00:16:52.046
So the World Wildlife Federation
calls dark leaky leafy greens

2012faf3-5ab2-42ab-93b3-4e1e924c7cd9-1
00:16:52.046 --> 00:16:55.581
such as spinach, kale,
watercress, broccoli and lettuce

2012faf3-5ab2-42ab-93b3-4e1e924c7cd9-2
00:16:55.581 --> 00:16:59.495
has some of the most versatile
and nutritious of all types of

2012faf3-5ab2-42ab-93b3-4e1e924c7cd9-3
00:16:59.495 --> 00:17:00.190
vegetables.

b3163e80-f35f-4d96-a434-2f3647cdd665-0
00:17:00.870 --> 00:17:03.678
They've been shown to help lower
your risk of heart disease and

b3163e80-f35f-4d96-a434-2f3647cdd665-1
00:17:03.678 --> 00:17:05.390
diabetes and are rich in
antioxidants.

896ef9a4-263a-4c97-8c02-6ff24878e86d-0
00:17:06.510 --> 00:17:08.790
They're also very planet
friendly fruit.

f9e9e615-6004-44be-8c49-1b143b5e895f-0
00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:12.400
Leafy greens are fast growing
and have very low carbon

f9e9e615-6004-44be-8c49-1b143b5e895f-1
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.800
emissions during their growing
and harvesting processes.

eaee6989-e0c7-41ee-bae2-03591e7722e9-0
00:17:16.520 --> 00:17:20.013
But with all these benefits to
the environment, where are leafy

eaee6989-e0c7-41ee-bae2-03591e7722e9-1
00:17:20.013 --> 00:17:21.760
greens classified in the tariff?

221674e7-b4b7-4d2f-957c-b59125c1cedb-0
00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:26.680
So the general explanatory note
to Chapter 7 provides guidance

221674e7-b4b7-4d2f-957c-b59125c1cedb-1
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.473
that this chapter covers
vegetables, including those

221674e7-b4b7-4d2f-957c-b59125c1cedb-2
00:17:29.473 --> 00:17:31.160
listed in Note 2 to the chapter.

9e721c16-723d-4f7b-ad26-defd0fa36e58-0
00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:36.556
Vegetables not presented in a
state covered by any heading of

9e721c16-723d-4f7b-ad26-defd0fa36e58-1
00:17:36.556 --> 00:17:39.480
this chapter are classified in
Chapter 11 or Section 4.

f3610ed4-bf83-4527-8a8d-46e0c583c5e9-0
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.153
Legal Note 2 to Chapter 7 is
also referred to as a legal note

f3610ed4-bf83-4527-8a8d-46e0c583c5e9-1
00:17:44.153 --> 00:17:46.985
because these notes are legally
binding throughout the

f3610ed4-bf83-4527-8a8d-46e0c583c5e9-2
00:17:46.985 --> 00:17:49.200
Harmonized System participating
countries.

8cc72c64-8833-4296-b2ac-3864f99586fd-0
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.252
This legal note tells us that in
headings O seven O 9 through O

8cc72c64-8833-4296-b2ac-3864f99586fd-1

00:18:08.520 --> 00:18:11.548
With a careful attention to
detail of reviewing the legal

00:18:14.994 --> 00:18:18.127
picture, I want to get into the
specific classifications of

486ab50d-f258-4506-bb20-4b4fd04dd45c-3
00:18:18.127 --> 00:18:19.119
these leafy greens.

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.570
Kale and broccoli appear AO
nominee within the article

00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.565
In the case of these leafy
greens, there's no need to apply

5768d0ca-4dd4-4c75-848f-917c39089f86-1
00:18:40.565 --> 00:18:41.920
legal Note 2 to Chapter 7.

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.574
If these products are imported
in a fresh or chilled condition

c1cb96f0-2800-4794-8c42-646fd105b155-1
00:18:45.574 --> 00:18:49.017
in a manner described by the
note, they would be classified

c1cb96f0-2800-4794-8c42-646fd105b155-2
00:18:49.017 --> 00:18:52.287
in these headings directly by
the application of GRI one

00:18:52.287 --> 00:18:54.639
spinach and watercress,
different story.

00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.480
Well, no two to Chapter 7 with a
number of vegetables.

f1055014-3ed2-4ce0-b18f-669e41a233b1-0
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.040
It doesn't list all these,
however.

f0994d38-d7d1-4fa2-a531-700f2685ef00-0
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:05.147
Careful review of the
explanatory notes, specifically

f0994d38-d7d1-4fa2-a531-700f2685ef00-1
00:19:05.147 --> 00:19:08.979
6 and 13 respectively, each
identify these vegetables as a

f0994d38-d7d1-4fa2-a531-700f2685ef00-2
00:19:08.979 --> 00:19:12.812
product that would not fall
under the umbrella of an other

00:19:12.812 --> 00:19:15.800
vegetable for purposes of adding
O seven O 9.

15f47610-ce98-404b-bbc6-0bcea3b20c4c-0
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:18.886
What about when these leafy
greens are prepared or

15f47610-ce98-404b-bbc6-0bcea3b20c4c-1
00:19:18.886 --> 00:19:19.280
preserved?

0995977c-61dd-4951-b36f-104a333214ad-0
00:19:19.280 --> 00:19:21.240
What would where would they be
classified?

3bf80c42-b1a7-448c-9120-d5361b56acb8-0
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.153
What is even considered prepared
or preserved in a Terran in a

3bf80c42-b1a7-448c-9120-d5361b56acb8-1
00:19:25.153 --> 00:19:26.920
tariff sense for the first
place?

1dce7d2a-cd10-4bdb-9ea3-43f19dd8496f-0
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:32.647
So as I've listed on this slide,
the terms prepared and preserved

1dce7d2a-cd10-4bdb-9ea3-43f19dd8496f-1
00:19:32.647 --> 00:19:34.360
are not defined in the tariff.

d87fd0dd-5424-4e81-ae82-1aa95c19f3e2-0
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.253
But in several of our
headquarters ruling letters as

d87fd0dd-5424-4e81-ae82-1aa95c19f3e2-1
00:19:38.253 --> 00:19:42.738
identified here, CBP define the
term preserved by stating that

d87fd0dd-5424-4e81-ae82-1aa95c19f3e2-2
00:19:42.738 --> 00:19:47.081
has been held that preservation
in a tariff sense ordinarily

d87fd0dd-5424-4e81-ae82-1aa95c19f3e2-3
00:19:47.081 --> 00:19:51.495
involves some type of cooking,
salting, drying or application

d87fd0dd-5424-4e81-ae82-1aa95c19f3e2-4
00:19:51.495 --> 00:19:55.411
of some method or process
whereby the fresh or natural

d87fd0dd-5424-4e81-ae82-1aa95c19f3e2-5
00:19:55.411 --> 00:19:59.754
condition of an article is so
changed has to be bit a little

d87fd0dd-5424-4e81-ae82-1aa95c19f3e2-6
00:19:59.754 --> 00:20:03.599
bit more of a permanent
preservation within that same

d87fd0dd-5424-4e81-ae82-1aa95c19f3e2-7
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:04.240
issuance.

d6780a93-3502-4119-8d80-5f08a0b23468-0
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:09.321
The term prepared is defined in
that a commodity has been so

d6780a93-3502-4119-8d80-5f08a0b23468-1
00:20:09.321 --> 00:20:13.683
processed as to be invested,
advanced in value and made more

d6780a93-3502-4119-8d80-5f08a0b23468-2
00:20:13.683 --> 00:20:16.400
valuable in its for its intended
use.

0cdd242d-194a-4dd0-9155-4b62be89cd32-0
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:21.196
So kind of to relay an example
of a leafy green that was

0cdd242d-194a-4dd0-9155-4b62be89cd32-1
00:20:21.196 --> 00:20:25.251
considered prepared or preserved
and classified within Section 4

0cdd242d-194a-4dd0-9155-4b62be89cd32-2
00:20:25.251 --> 00:20:27.560
of the tariff I wanted to
highlight.

c493d638-efb4-4f49-a095-b0f064c31138-0
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:33.189
The last bullet point on your
screen ruling F 81272 ruling

c493d638-efb4-4f49-a095-b0f064c31138-1
00:20:33.189 --> 00:20:37.706
request involved a variety of
Meal Express salad kits, and I'm

c493d638-efb4-4f49-a095-b0f064c31138-2
00:20:37.706 --> 00:20:42.294
highlighting the chicken breast
Caesar salad variety kit, which

c493d638-efb4-4f49-a095-b0f064c31138-3
00:20:42.294 --> 00:20:46.523
was described as a mixture of
leafy greens such as romaine

c493d638-efb4-4f49-a095-b0f064c31138-4
00:20:46.523 --> 00:20:50.323
lettuce, in addition to
containing about 31% grilled

c493d638-efb4-4f49-a095-b0f064c31138-5
00:20:50.323 --> 00:20:54.194
chicken breast and individual
packets of dressing and

c493d638-efb4-4f49-a095-b0f064c31138-6
00:20:54.194 --> 00:20:54.840
croutons.

00:20:55.600 --> 00:20:59.410
In this case, the leafy green
salad kit satisfied a legal

bb495230-457a-4403-8ab2-88a072a833d1-1
00:20:59.410 --> 00:21:03.088
note, specifically No2 to

00:21:03.088 --> 00:21:06.964
these food preparations fall in
this chapter provided they

bb495230-457a-4403-8ab2-88a072a833d1-3
00:21:06.964 --> 00:21:10.840
contain at least 20% or more of
meat, fish or crustaceans.

00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.158
The cost of this tariff
classification was pursued

5940bb16-84ee-45cc-b565-e22913316165-1
00:21:15.158 --> 00:21:19.000

00:21:21.944 --> 00:21:24.320
product made more value for its
intended use.

7e3312a6-0f3d-4408-bba0-fce28223e11f-0
00:21:32.800 --> 00:21:37.231
So transitioning over to the
number 3 ranked top sustainable

7e3312a6-0f3d-4408-bba0-fce28223e11f-1
00:21:37.231 --> 00:21:39.120
food, the humble mushroom.

0fd4a639-f2d9-41fd-85a6-b95cdd43e77d-0
00:21:39.520 --> 00:21:42.023
These were actually considered
the food of the gods by the

0fd4a639-f2d9-41fd-85a6-b95cdd43e77d-1
00:21:42.023 --> 00:21:43.000
Romans back in the day.

69013b61-cf63-4a26-aa65-c2aed3cb4709-0
00:21:43.800 --> 00:21:47.505
Fungi are rich in a number of
nutrients such as vitamin D and

69013b61-cf63-4a26-aa65-c2aed3cb4709-1
00:21:47.505 --> 00:21:48.760
especially vitamin D.

a9f4fab9-191d-4dc7-9fab-c28f0daf93a2-0
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.120
Their taste and texture make
them ideal meat substitutes.

b163ff47-1c5c-4509-b30c-ac9f6e1c0c4a-0
00:21:52.320 --> 00:21:53.720
Something I'll get into more
shortly.

d34647de-bad0-4e9d-b617-2a5f9d2d18d0-0
00:21:55.560 --> 00:22:00.686
The American Mushroom Institute
tells us that one kilogram of

d34647de-bad0-4e9d-b617-2a5f9d2d18d0-1
00:22:00.686 --> 00:22:05.813
mushrooms produces less than 0.7
kilograms of carbon dioxide,

d34647de-bad0-4e9d-b617-2a5f9d2d18d0-2
00:22:05.813 --> 00:22:11.270
while other studies tell us that
they need less water and take up

d34647de-bad0-4e9d-b617-2a5f9d2d18d0-3
00:22:11.270 --> 00:22:15.240
less energy than most other
agricultural crops.

c5c37d4e-c376-40bd-83e4-a3c0cb8b168d-0
00:22:15.800 --> 00:22:18.206
So this leads to the question,
how would mushrooms be

c5c37d4e-c376-40bd-83e4-a3c0cb8b168d-1
00:22:18.206 --> 00:22:19.320
classified in the tariff?

ad2ec726-aa4d-4c12-ba18-eb827f362b7c-0
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:23.031
Before I go into that, I just
want to note that we have an

ad2ec726-aa4d-4c12-ba18-eb827f362b7c-1
00:22:23.031 --> 00:22:25.909
informed public informed
compliance publication that is

00:22:25.909 --> 00:22:27.039
listed on our website.

42959ddd-bbda-4360-9601-b748dc5cbefd-0
00:22:27.040 --> 00:22:30.590
This inform publication will go
into greater insight then I'll

42959ddd-bbda-4360-9601-b748dc5cbefd-1
00:22:30.590 --> 00:22:32.000
be able to go into today.

00:22:32.800 --> 00:22:35.480
So I definitely recommend
checking it out.

dce9840f-e766-43b3-8ed3-5c5a8fef08ac-0
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:39.040
That picture of the title page
is in your top left corner.

d8e51ab8-dece-4c53-b77a-072b4aa965eb-0
00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:42.945
So getting into the
classification mushrooms when

d8e51ab8-dece-4c53-b77a-072b4aa965eb-1
00:22:42.945 --> 00:22:46.858
they're imported in a fresher
chilled condition and not here's

d8e51ab8-dece-4c53-b77a-072b4aa965eb-2
00:22:46.858 --> 00:22:50.088
that term again, prepared or
preserved are not only

d8e51ab8-dece-4c53-b77a-072b4aa965eb-4
00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:57.107
explanatory note 5 to heading O
seven O 9 as a product that

d8e51ab8-dece-4c53-b77a-072b4aa965eb-5
00:22:57.107 --> 00:23:01.020
falls under the umbrella of an

00:23:01.020 --> 00:23:02.760
classification in Chapter 7.

75ce9687-af26-4322-a402-14a14edd7bb5-0
00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:07.445
So the mushrooms falling in
Section 4 Chapter 20 are usually

75ce9687-af26-4322-a402-14a14edd7bb5-1
00:23:07.445 --> 00:23:10.849
prepared and preserved by some
type of preparation or

75ce9687-af26-4322-a402-14a14edd7bb5-2
00:23:10.849 --> 00:23:14.884
preservation processes such as
blanching, canning, the addition

00:23:14.884 --> 00:23:18.099
of other ingredients such as

00:23:22.008 --> 00:23:25.349
one of the ingredients in
prepared mushrooms and the

00:23:25.349 --> 00:23:28.880

Let me repeat, solely by acetic

a800acf9-c8eb-4b63-b289-dd0912ca3795-0
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.551
The long standing rule requires

00:23:35.551 --> 00:23:39.223

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:49.280
Where did this rule come from?

f2ae5d4d-7e9a-46a1-b1d1-ea11847eabf5-0
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.040

00:24:27.540 --> 00:24:30.720
considered whether blanching
mushrooms at a specific

00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:56.576
Moving on to the next top
sustainable green food, we have

00:24:56.576 --> 00:24:57.960
seafood seaweed.

00:24:58.760 --> 00:25:02.497
Seaweed is becoming more popular
not just as an ingredient in

00:25:02.497 --> 00:25:05.993

00:25:08.080 --> 00:25:10.860
The health benefits vary
depending on the type of

00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:26.349
Algae, including seaweed,
produces around 50% of all the

00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.486
WWF refers to edible seaweed as
a game changer for its ability

But where is seaweed classified
in the tariff?

00:26:02.040 --> 00:26:04.160
Is seaweed considered a
vegetable?

00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:05.280
Is it a root and tuber?

00:26:05.280 --> 00:26:06.600
Is it something else?

a620f085-1e53-40ac-b84c-3bcd49679227-0
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.982
So, as alluded to a few slides
ago, headings O seven O 1 to O

a620f085-1e53-40ac-b84c-3bcd49679227-1
00:26:11.982 --> 00:26:15.804

58cd9f7e-bd3b-4ae6-9aa5-f98ee72da691-0
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:24.666
Not only is seaweed not included
anywhere in this chapter, it

58cd9f7e-bd3b-4ae6-9aa5-f98ee72da691-1
00:26:24.666 --> 00:26:28.888
appears AO nominee in the terms
of the heading for heading 1212,

00:26:28.888 --> 00:26:32.720
which provides for locust beans,
seaweeds and other algae.

00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:38.344
Thus, the seaweed of heading
1212 is limited to seaweed

96ea7832-a45c-4d76-b951-84f335824ac9-1
00:26:38.344 --> 00:26:43.287
primarily in its natural state,
non prepared state except for

00:27:08.520 --> 00:27:12.581
More importantly, no additional
ingredients or seasoning was

366c1dcd-839e-4b5f-8c66-02a8eb16af61-1
00:27:12.581 --> 00:27:16.309

00:27:37.840 --> 00:27:40.756
When further prepared, seaweed
would not be considered

00:27:58.120 --> 00:28:01.513
This heading is a residual
basket provision for products

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.490
Also, since it's the basket
provision, it is least specific

76c03f26-ad80-4058-9b4b-e863b8601a5c-1
00:28:10.490 --> 00:28:14.171
in comparison to the more

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:25.772
An example of this is ruling N

900c5d49-ac7b-4320-9d25-04fc079a5282-1
00:28:25.772 --> 00:28:30.990
described as frozen salted

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.809
They were considered prepared to

00:28:49.290 --> 00:28:52.406
So now we've reached the last of
the most popular green

77dff859-7adf-4b46-9b4f-0d6a03e944ff-1
00:28:52.406 --> 00:28:55.578
sustainable foods from an
environmental perspective that

00:28:58.970 --> 00:29:02.299
Also happens to be a fairly new

55f5df4a-49e4-4e6a-9388-de0598426060-1
00:29:02.299 --> 00:29:05.160
product, especially when
compared to seaweed which has

00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.673
So this new and emerging food
product is considered artificial

6cd35096-d257-4516-8d4e-6b3618b544da-1

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:20.586
So since the world is projected
to reach nearly ten billion

9bd181f1-9b06-4a13-aab7-982f23685ca2-1
00:29:20.586 --> 00:29:23.824
people in the next 30 years
sustainably feeding this

00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:34.508
So around 800 people face hunger
globally, and research shows

00:29:34.508 --> 00:29:38.609
that the world will have to

00:33:44.280 --> 00:33:47.288
Since the cultured meat industry
is only about 10 years old, in

9c970775-ec28-4f5b-bd90-851f45b7f2f0-1
00:35:20.310 --> 00:35:21.840
additions every five years.

d1636fb4-d535-424c-99b8-0beeae263f2e-0
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.200
Major changes happen within this
system.

9ce46190-c45e-4292-8a5b-f68a65e3560b-0
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:25.480
Why?

8b5a8a18-321f-474f-a357-b39a0c43a13f-0
00:35:25.600 --> 00:35:29.025
Because the tariff is a living
document that is periodic,

8b5a8a18-321f-474f-a357-b39a0c43a13f-1
00:35:29.025 --> 00:35:32.805
periodically updated to reflect
technological advancements, WCO

8b5a8a18-321f-474f-a357-b39a0c43a13f-2
00:35:32.805 --> 00:35:36.289
World Customs Organization
updates the harmonization codes

8b5a8a18-321f-474f-a357-b39a0c43a13f-3
00:35:36.289 --> 00:35:39.950
primarily for the advancement in
technologies, develop of new

8b5a8a18-321f-474f-a357-b39a0c43a13f-4
00:35:39.950 --> 00:35:43.494
products such as these not
adequately addressed in previous

8b5a8a18-321f-474f-a357-b39a0c43a13f-5
00:35:43.494 --> 00:35:47.215
lists, and the elimination of
products or categories that have

8b5a8a18-321f-474f-a357-b39a0c43a13f-6
00:35:47.215 --> 00:35:48.160
become obsolete.

df43dc34-6180-4b10-863e-f44013a5a834-0
00:35:49.040 --> 00:35:52.764
So this next five year update is
set to happen in the winter of

df43dc34-6180-4b10-863e-f44013a5a834-1
00:35:52.764 --> 00:35:55.966
2027, and with a little luck,
there might be a few new

df43dc34-6180-4b10-863e-f44013a5a834-2
00:35:55.966 --> 00:35:59.400
headings created for these type
of emerging food products.

a57d8cf7-f3cb-42b1-af53-e8582e603c29-0
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:00.440
Stay tuned.

fd8c8352-11d5-408f-8bb1-ae1a0060d301-0
00:36:06.200 --> 00:36:09.166
So, for legal purposes, again
referencing the GRI,

fd8c8352-11d5-408f-8bb1-ae1a0060d301-1
00:36:09.166 --> 00:36:12.249
classification of meat analogs,
as with all imported

fd8c8352-11d5-408f-8bb1-ae1a0060d301-2
00:36:12.249 --> 00:36:16.030
merchandise, is to be classified
under the terms of the headings

fd8c8352-11d5-408f-8bb1-ae1a0060d301-3
00:36:16.030 --> 00:36:19.288
of the Tariff, applying any
relevant section or chapter

fd8c8352-11d5-408f-8bb1-ae1a0060d301-4
00:36:19.288 --> 00:36:23.011
notes, provided such headings or
notes do not otherwise require

fd8c8352-11d5-408f-8bb1-ae1a0060d301-5
00:36:23.011 --> 00:36:25.920
according to the general rules
of interpretation.

afafae22-b0d5-4461-9a0c-7b78aa9626e4-0
00:36:26.640 --> 00:36:30.005
GRIGR I-1 provides that the
classification of good shall be

afafae22-b0d5-4461-9a0c-7b78aa9626e4-1
00:36:30.005 --> 00:36:33.090
determined according to the
terms of the headings, the

afafae22-b0d5-4461-9a0c-7b78aa9626e4-2
00:36:33.090 --> 00:36:36.400
tariff schedule and any relevant
section or chapter notes.

a5166583-fc13-47a5-8eb9-e3f5686ffdb0-0
00:36:37.040 --> 00:36:40.433
While many emerging food
products considered as quote UN

a5166583-fc13-47a5-8eb9-e3f5686ffdb0-1
00:36:40.433 --> 00:36:43.946
quote meat analogs have been
classified in Heading 21 O 6,

a5166583-fc13-47a5-8eb9-e3f5686ffdb0-2
00:36:43.946 --> 00:36:47.757
which is also known as a basket
provision for food preparations

a5166583-fc13-47a5-8eb9-e3f5686ffdb0-3
00:36:47.757 --> 00:36:49.960
not elsewhere specified or
included.

8203504c-7417-4372-b729-b70adb37e8ca-0
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:54.732
Not all meat analogs that have
come across our desk have only

8203504c-7417-4372-b729-b70adb37e8ca-1
00:36:54.732 --> 00:36:58.263
those prepared products or
ingredients used in the

8203504c-7417-4372-b729-b70adb37e8ca-2
00:36:58.263 --> 00:37:02.556
preparation of meat analogs that
have been precluded from all

8203504c-7417-4372-b729-b70adb37e8ca-3
00:37:02.556 --> 00:37:05.880
other and more specific headings
in the tariff.

95fb37cb-170c-4301-b612-3dd7a12f7cb2-0
00:37:06.520 --> 00:37:08.640
So I will stress this following
point.

a11d3856-28eb-4ae7-bc5d-002dc5a1a384-0
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:11.888
The classification of meat
analogs, vegan foods, plant

a11d3856-28eb-4ae7-bc5d-002dc5a1a384-1
00:37:11.888 --> 00:37:14.863
based products and imitation
meat products should be

a11d3856-28eb-4ae7-bc5d-002dc5a1a384-2
00:37:14.863 --> 00:37:18.176
determined on a case by case
basis applying the individual

a11d3856-28eb-4ae7-bc5d-002dc5a1a384-3
00:37:18.176 --> 00:37:21.657
facts presented in the product
you are attempting to classify

a11d3856-28eb-4ae7-bc5d-002dc5a1a384-4
00:37:21.657 --> 00:37:24.240
to all the relevant criteria in
front of you.

afb86c33-fd5e-4fc4-8481-3c8075e0c6f5-0
00:37:28.200 --> 00:37:31.589
So highlighting I wanted to
highlight this slide to

afb86c33-fd5e-4fc4-8481-3c8075e0c6f5-1
00:37:31.589 --> 00:37:35.043
highlight an example of
comparing and contrasting of

afb86c33-fd5e-4fc4-8481-3c8075e0c6f5-2
00:37:35.043 --> 00:37:37.520
what I just kind of went in
depth on.

7c85d15d-b61e-410c-ab9e-dae1fe30aa56-0
00:37:38.160 --> 00:37:41.389
These following two rulings
demonstrate how 2 products

7c85d15d-b61e-410c-ab9e-dae1fe30aa56-1
00:37:41.389 --> 00:37:45.089
containing meat analogs could be
classified entirely different

7c85d15d-b61e-410c-ab9e-dae1fe30aa56-2
00:37:45.089 --> 00:37:46.440
chapters of the tariff.

9bc7c4f7-6d0f-40e5-9963-7e978f498deb-0
00:37:48.720 --> 00:37:53.477
So on the rolling on your left
138675 product was described to

9bc7c4f7-6d0f-40e5-9963-7e978f498deb-1
00:37:53.477 --> 00:37:57.933
us as prepared meatless, single
serve and frozen meals for

9bc7c4f7-6d0f-40e5-9963-7e978f498deb-2
00:37:57.933 --> 00:37:58.840
retail sale.

4cb623cd-2fa8-46fb-a974-410d45bdb48c-0
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:02.774
Creole jambalaya was said to be
composed of white rice mixed

4cb623cd-2fa8-46fb-a974-410d45bdb48c-1
00:38:02.774 --> 00:38:03.680
with vegetables.

5599c157-c1f3-45a7-8253-40a5cbcf4f56-0
00:38:04.120 --> 00:38:09.720
TVP, textured soy protein, in
this case TSP and spices.

7b8954e4-d7e1-4a35-b090-15c0bd3177ba-0
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:13.875
The textured soy protein is
commonly used as a meat analog,

7b8954e4-d7e1-4a35-b090-15c0bd3177ba-1
00:38:13.875 --> 00:38:17.156
and Creole jambalaya in this
case, despite containing a

7b8954e4-d7e1-4a35-b090-15c0bd3177ba-2
00:38:17.156 --> 00:38:20.554
popular meat analog, was
classified in heading nineteen O

7b8954e4-d7e1-4a35-b090-15c0bd3177ba-3
00:38:20.554 --> 00:38:24.186
4, which provides for prepared
or serve foods obtained by the

7b8954e4-d7e1-4a35-b090-15c0bd3177ba-4
00:38:24.186 --> 00:38:27.233
swelling or roasting of cereal
products and not the

7b8954e4-d7e1-4a35-b090-15c0bd3177ba-5
00:38:27.233 --> 00:38:30.514
miscellaneous basket provision
of heading 21 O 6, which

7b8954e4-d7e1-4a35-b090-15c0bd3177ba-6
00:38:30.514 --> 00:38:33.912
provides for food preparations
not elsewhere specified or

7b8954e4-d7e1-4a35-b090-15c0bd3177ba-7
00:38:33.912 --> 00:38:34.440
included.

6aee65d5-191d-4a8d-8df9-707b8dd68bb6-0
00:38:35.520 --> 00:38:38.705
The contrast that the ruling on
your right involved the

6aee65d5-191d-4a8d-8df9-707b8dd68bb6-1
00:38:38.705 --> 00:38:41.946
classification of a meat
replacement product called Corn

6aee65d5-191d-4a8d-8df9-707b8dd68bb6-2
00:38:41.946 --> 00:38:42.800
Cheesy Nuggets.

7acc9e1b-a8ca-4c9d-b7b0-7afd3db6541c-0
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.567
These Nuggets had a strikingly
similar appearance to the

7acc9e1b-a8ca-4c9d-b7b0-7afd3db6541c-1
00:38:46.567 --> 00:38:49.957
standard chicken Nuggets we have
all seen over the years and

7acc9e1b-a8ca-4c9d-b7b0-7afd3db6541c-2
00:38:49.957 --> 00:38:52.680
grown to love and shape, texture
and appearance.

bc3c3f14-2d78-4b01-b2cf-bfcc59849573-0
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:56.640
However, in this specific case,
the Nuggets contain no chicken.

858ab527-e3f8-447c-9361-f8705f6bb45f-0
00:38:56.880 --> 00:39:00.133
They were said said to contain
mycoprotein paste, canola oil

858ab527-e3f8-447c-9361-f8705f6bb45f-1
00:39:00.133 --> 00:39:01.840
and a host of other ingredients.

05696028-549a-4850-9361-7d8ee2bd4da2-0
00:39:03.040 --> 00:39:06.213
These Corn Cheesy Nuggets were
classified in the basket

05696028-549a-4850-9361-7d8ee2bd4da2-1
00:39:06.213 --> 00:39:07.800
provision of heading 21 O 6.

6cba6770-86cf-46e8-9486-59025ee680cd-0
00:39:08.720 --> 00:39:11.942
Why was one classified in a more
specific heading such as

6cba6770-86cf-46e8-9486-59025ee680cd-1
00:39:11.942 --> 00:39:15.164
nineteen O 4 and another
classified in a basket provision

6cba6770-86cf-46e8-9486-59025ee680cd-2
00:39:15.164 --> 00:39:15.720
of 21 O 6?

b5dabeae-4b66-4bf8-9167-8216bd147343-0
00:39:17.120 --> 00:39:20.360
I'll leave that into the next
slide.

22e5c663-b24b-4be2-8d39-b6bfde021b24-0
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:25.760
So heading 21 O 6, this is the
ultimate basket provision of my

22e5c663-b24b-4be2-8d39-b6bfde021b24-1
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:29.720
area of responsibility and in
all agricultural sections of the

22e5c663-b24b-4be2-8d39-b6bfde021b24-2
00:39:29.720 --> 00:39:30.160
tariff.

dae30109-64f6-4fe7-ae1a-b4394a192b5b-0
00:39:30.240 --> 00:39:33.576
Heading 21 O 6 provides for food
preparations not elsewhere

dae30109-64f6-4fe7-ae1a-b4394a192b5b-1
00:39:33.576 --> 00:39:34.800
specified or included.

92729f26-51b9-48db-b730-e71e8abf6c78-0
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:40.320
I can't emphasize the following
point enough that heading 21 O 6

92729f26-51b9-48db-b730-e71e8abf6c78-1
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:44.381
is the last heading you should
consult prior to classifying

92729f26-51b9-48db-b730-e71e8abf6c78-2
00:39:44.381 --> 00:39:46.480
anything by application of GRI.

b45b6882-a866-412d-9763-0c70b8e6ccfe-0
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:49.922
One when applying the GR is you
will always need to rule out

b45b6882-a866-412d-9763-0c70b8e6ccfe-1
00:39:49.922 --> 00:39:52.914
every other heading in the in
the tariff that may be

b45b6882-a866-412d-9763-0c70b8e6ccfe-2
00:39:52.914 --> 00:39:55.680
applicable to the products you
are working with.

78311715-304c-48cd-bbbf-0e50e7c3394b-0
00:39:56.520 --> 00:39:59.674
As I alluded to earlier, each
product you are classifying

78311715-304c-48cd-bbbf-0e50e7c3394b-1
00:39:59.674 --> 00:40:02.882
should be determined on a case
by case basis, applying the

78311715-304c-48cd-bbbf-0e50e7c3394b-2
00:40:02.882 --> 00:40:06.200
individual facts to the relevant
criteria you're looking at.

bf2d4fa4-0a83-4175-84ce-9c24da61b09d-0
00:40:07.160 --> 00:40:10.092
While it may appear that
products may be similar in

bf2d4fa4-0a83-4175-84ce-9c24da61b09d-1
00:40:10.092 --> 00:40:13.532
nature in cross that tool I
referenced earlier, there may be

bf2d4fa4-0a83-4175-84ce-9c24da61b09d-2
00:40:13.532 --> 00:40:16.971
subtle reasons why one product
was classified in one heading

bf2d4fa4-0a83-4175-84ce-9c24da61b09d-3
00:40:16.971 --> 00:40:18.720
and another product in another.

d1ab2a8f-7a38-4175-b2b0-e4bf073a4046-0
00:40:19.200 --> 00:40:22.622
There could be information that
was deemed confidential that is

d1ab2a8f-7a38-4175-b2b0-e4bf073a4046-1
00:40:22.622 --> 00:40:24.440
omitted from the decision
across.

015fb514-82d6-4c0d-900c-2c4d20a91b98-0
00:40:24.560 --> 00:40:28.191
Also our New York rollings don't
necessarily go into detailed

015fb514-82d6-4c0d-900c-2c4d20a91b98-1
00:40:28.191 --> 00:40:31.940
legal analysis as those by our
colleagues in the Commercial and

015fb514-82d6-4c0d-900c-2c4d20a91b98-2
00:40:31.940 --> 00:40:35.280
Trade Facilitation Division of
Regulations and Rollings.

09a269c9-cff3-4645-817b-04584ff6e9c2-0
00:40:36.640 --> 00:40:39.841
Since there is no specific
heading in the tariff that

09a269c9-cff3-4645-817b-04584ff6e9c2-1
00:40:39.841 --> 00:40:43.754
provides for meat analogs, every
other heading in the tariff will

09a269c9-cff3-4645-817b-04584ff6e9c2-2
00:40:43.754 --> 00:40:45.000
have to be consulted.

2431faa8-8704-4ee0-908e-25c757615301-0
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:49.427
That's applicable of course,
first prior to consideration of

2431faa8-8704-4ee0-908e-25c757615301-1
00:40:49.427 --> 00:40:52.800
classification in the basket
provision of heading 21 O 6.

d8e15086-22c1-41fa-a21a-17476d61f05a-0
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:56.963
So going back to the Creole
jambalaya on the prior slide

d8e15086-22c1-41fa-a21a-17476d61f05a-1
00:40:56.963 --> 00:41:00.425

00:41:02.240 --> 00:41:05.657
Although the meat replacement in
this case was textured soy

8684cb66-0dd6-4ecf-b85e-024b2d83132a-1
00:41:05.657 --> 00:41:08.677

consultation with the

00:41:08.677 --> 00:41:11.981
application of the GRI led to
the determination that that

8684cb66-0dd6-4ecf-b85e-024b2d83132a-3
00:41:11.981 --> 00:41:14.943
merchandise was a food
preparation described by the

8684cb66-0dd6-4ecf-b85e-024b2d83132a-4
00:41:14.943 --> 00:41:16.880
terms of a more specific
heading.

00:41:18.720 --> 00:41:23.982
Despite containing textured soy
protein, popular imitation meat

86e79e18-28fb-4642-b723-bca3780fa475-1
00:41:23.982 --> 00:41:24.640
product.

00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:27.543
Because of this, it was
determined to be a food

91c52214-d4be-4250-abb4-2d0f6d43d74b-1
00:41:27.543 --> 00:41:30.719
preparation that fell under a
more specific heading in the

91c52214-d4be-4250-abb4-2d0f6d43d74b-2
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:32.280
aspect of the cheesy Nuggets.

00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:34.880
They were not composed of
ingredients manufactured or

9c6cc62d-3a9e-478c-a78c-f59e3c1b4039-1
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:37.866
marketed in a manner that led
them to fall under the scope of

9c6cc62d-3a9e-478c-a78c-f59e3c1b4039-2
00:41:37.866 --> 00:41:39.359
a more specific tariff heading.

ede83861-18f4-487e-809e-db40653cce89-0
00:41:40.040 --> 00:41:43.143
Because it was considered to be
a food preparation that did not

ede83861-18f4-487e-809e-db40653cce89-1
00:41:43.143 --> 00:41:45.520
reside in a heading more
specific in the tariff.

aafcaf22-664f-4d37-9b66-655546c4447a-0
00:41:46.240 --> 00:41:50.074
Ultimately 21 O 6 was considered
and it was finally classified

aafcaf22-664f-4d37-9b66-655546c4447a-1
00:41:50.074 --> 00:41:50.440
there.

1c4efe2b-b2c3-4bea-a649-6acc2977f773-0
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:59.705
So while the Internet has
revolutionized our life and

1c4efe2b-b2c3-4bea-a649-6acc2977f773-1
00:41:59.705 --> 00:42:02.971
everything we we do not
everything as we know you see

1c4efe2b-b2c3-4bea-a649-6acc2977f773-2
00:42:02.971 --> 00:42:04.120
online is accurate.

27b17331-bf5b-40d7-a76a-07181b0f7754-0
00:42:04.720 --> 00:42:07.804
If you just search for the
classification of meat

27b17331-bf5b-40d7-a76a-07181b0f7754-1
00:42:07.804 --> 00:42:11.690
substitutes, say on a popular
search engines, it will tell you

27b17331-bf5b-40d7-a76a-07181b0f7754-2
00:42:11.690 --> 00:42:14.960
that they're classified under
heading 21 O specific.

95799955-0cc9-40ab-b358-f872deeba9b1-0
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.080
Specifically the 10 digit
statistical breakout for frozen.

0df8b7c8-735c-4869-b6c8-b69b15192f3e-0
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:20.120
This answer is misleading.

251aaa6e-5cf8-40f3-a603-353481094e33-0
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:24.933
On the next slide, I'm going to
reference a few examples just to

251aaa6e-5cf8-40f3-a603-353481094e33-1
00:42:24.933 --> 00:42:28.745
demonstrate that a quick online
search is not always accurate,

251aaa6e-5cf8-40f3-a603-353481094e33-2
00:42:28.745 --> 00:42:32.315
especially in the case of the
classification of these meat

251aaa6e-5cf8-40f3-a603-353481094e33-3
00:42:32.315 --> 00:42:32.800
analogs.

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:37.244
So doing, due to the nature of
heading 21 O 6, again being a

3708a5aa-1a1c-47d2-b53b-210d1a75b016-1
00:42:37.244 --> 00:42:40.276
basket provision for products
not elsewhere specified or

3708a5aa-1a1c-47d2-b53b-210d1a75b016-2
00:42:40.276 --> 00:42:43.521
included, meat analogs have been
classified elsewhere in the

3708a5aa-1a1c-47d2-b53b-210d1a75b016-3
00:42:43.521 --> 00:42:46.553
tariff that is more specific for
each respective product

3708a5aa-1a1c-47d2-b53b-210d1a75b016-4
00:42:46.553 --> 00:42:49.159
regardless of what you may find
on the Internet.

d8a1dcb6-44da-4648-b44e-8c40686ea4c6-0
00:42:50.720 --> 00:42:53.972
On this slide, I just
highlighted a few rulings that

d8a1dcb6-44da-4648-b44e-8c40686ea4c6-1
00:42:53.972 --> 00:42:57.592
are examples of popular corn
brand products that have been

d8a1dcb6-44da-4648-b44e-8c40686ea4c6-2
00:42:57.592 --> 00:43:01.090
issued binding rulings that
appear in cross that contain

d8a1dcb6-44da-4648-b44e-8c40686ea4c6-3
00:43:01.090 --> 00:43:05.017
meat analogs and were classified
in more specific headings than

d8a1dcb6-44da-4648-b44e-8c40686ea4c6-4
00:43:05.017 --> 00:43:06.919
the basket provision of 21 O 6.

730d8f6d-d889-4323-91d2-215e565a145e-0
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:13.062
Take for instance the first
ruling, the corn brand lasagna

730d8f6d-d889-4323-91d2-215e565a145e-1
00:43:13.062 --> 00:43:17.040
contain an invitation meat
called corn mince.

269fa2ec-9896-442b-9ada-cacdd654f8aa-0
00:43:18.240 --> 00:43:22.016
And this this product was
classified in a specific heading

269fa2ec-9896-442b-9ada-cacdd654f8aa-1
00:43:22.016 --> 00:43:24.000
19 O2 which provides for pasta.

d469768b-2cbe-45ec-b26f-1bcbf5b9e643-0
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:28.607
In this specific scenario, the
product was described as a soft

d469768b-2cbe-45ec-b26f-1bcbf5b9e643-1
00:43:28.607 --> 00:43:32.577
pasta product topped with cheese
and the lasagna was composed of

d469768b-2cbe-45ec-b26f-1bcbf5b9e643-2
00:43:32.577 --> 00:43:34.960
a ragu or a quote UN quote meat
sauce.

e20a4940-1ee9-408d-9e2a-43d1fa0514ea-0
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:38.869
And this meat sauce consisted of
chopped tomatoes, corn mince,

e20a4940-1ee9-408d-9e2a-43d1fa0514ea-1
00:43:38.869 --> 00:43:41.600
the meat replacement and other
ingredients.

b0c89f91-3882-40d3-a310-b7f39c42c1f0-0
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.744
In this case, it fell under a
more specific heading as a pasta

b0c89f91-3882-40d3-a310-b7f39c42c1f0-1
00:43:47.744 --> 00:43:50.000
and not the basket provision of
21 O six.

33ceb53b-7cc3-4e2d-bbc6-573d5e7efe87-0
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:56.229
Another example you see on your
slide is the the corn bran

33ceb53b-7cc3-4e2d-bbc6-573d5e7efe87-1
00:43:56.229 --> 00:43:57.680
fishless sticks.

a1a5d4d1-defa-4897-a6ae-e293822f6911-0
00:43:57.720 --> 00:44:00.200
They were classified in a more
specific heading.

adceb35d-dd1e-45ca-acaa-ab87ccbb8b19-0
00:44:00.200 --> 00:44:03.957
Nineteen O 4 provides for
cereals and grain form in the

adceb35d-dd1e-45ca-acaa-ab87ccbb8b19-1
00:44:03.957 --> 00:44:06.440
form of flakes or other work
grains.

c700d14b-619e-4dea-b2e7-663ac064d000-0
00:44:07.160 --> 00:44:12.921
These fishless sticks in this
example consisted of of rice

c700d14b-619e-4dea-b2e7-663ac064d000-1
00:44:12.921 --> 00:44:18.878
flakes, mycoprotein water and
other ingredients, flavourings

c700d14b-619e-4dea-b2e7-663ac064d000-2
00:44:18.878 --> 00:44:24.639
and spices imported in a frozen
condition for retail sale.

ce716d8d-e8f6-478b-b947-38682d9e91a7-0
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:28.796
These fishless sticks were
marketed as a seafood

ce716d8d-e8f6-478b-b947-38682d9e91a7-1
00:44:28.796 --> 00:44:29.520
alternative.

00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:33.123
However, despite being a
prepared product of Section 4 of

0209885b-b0fe-457a-a31c-2fa8bc451543-1
00:44:33.123 --> 00:44:36.858
the tariff that they not fall in
the scope scope of a prepared or

0209885b-b0fe-457a-a31c-2fa8bc451543-2
00:44:36.858 --> 00:44:40.424
preserved heading for fish as
they did not contain any seafood

0209885b-b0fe-457a-a31c-2fa8bc451543-3
00:44:40.424 --> 00:44:43.764
for purposes of classification
in Chapter 16, nor were the

0209885b-b0fe-457a-a31c-2fa8bc451543-4
00:44:43.764 --> 00:44:47.443
fishless sticks classified under
the basket provision of heading

0209885b-b0fe-457a-a31c-2fa8bc451543-5
00:44:47.443 --> 00:44:47.840
21 O 6.

ea242bd8-6abc-4b35-8c97-aa37c5dfc938-0
00:44:48.600 --> 00:44:52.251
As I emphasized earlier, each
product should be determined on

ea242bd8-6abc-4b35-8c97-aa37c5dfc938-1
00:44:52.251 --> 00:44:55.666
a case by case basis applying
the individual facts you're

ea242bd8-6abc-4b35-8c97-aa37c5dfc938-2
00:44:55.666 --> 00:44:59.200
attempting to classify to all
the criteria in front of you.

9fccf5a2-16ae-458d-b6e7-089d1ddde9a6-0
00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:05.049
And these are some excellent
examples of of why just an

9fccf5a2-16ae-458d-b6e7-089d1ddde9a6-1
00:45:05.049 --> 00:45:10.320
Internet search can be
misleading at times at terms.

c6b29271-b98d-42b6-a181-6eec485d5d3b-0
00:45:16.680 --> 00:45:20.593
So as we draw here to the
conclusion, we covered a lot

c6b29271-b98d-42b6-a181-6eec485d5d3b-1
00:45:20.593 --> 00:45:24.861
today and I've been in the
weeds, so to speak, a few of the

c6b29271-b98d-42b6-a181-6eec485d5d3b-2
00:45:24.861 --> 00:45:25.360
slides.

dc575d9c-2383-4b45-890f-bc74cf88df14-0
00:45:26.040 --> 00:45:30.480
I wanted to do a quick knowledge
check of today's information.

61535185-f3ab-46e3-9926-f9467821ec64-0
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:37.295
So please enter true or false in
the chat box and I'll give you

61535185-f3ab-46e3-9926-f9467821ec64-1
00:45:37.295 --> 00:45:39.840
guys about 30 to 45 seconds.

31af2fd2-6f21-4a25-9993-02eca68cf06d-0
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:44.757
My question is all products that
are considered meat, artificial

31af2fd2-6f21-4a25-9993-02eca68cf06d-1
00:45:44.757 --> 00:45:48.951
meat, plant based meat, meat
analogs and marketed as such are

31af2fd2-6f21-4a25-9993-02eca68cf06d-2
00:45:48.951 --> 00:45:52.536
classified in the basket
provision of heading 21 O 6

31af2fd2-6f21-4a25-9993-02eca68cf06d-3
00:45:52.536 --> 00:45:56.392
which provides for miscellaneous
edible preparations not

00:45:56.392 --> 00:45:59.640
elsewhere specified or included,
true or false.

a75006e4-c82a-4939-ba26-19890845877c-0
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:16.200
I like what I'm seeing so far.

abbd784f-1dce-4714-91a0-ffe7ee898427-0
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:22.153
Not to give it away and nobody's
cheating by looking in the chat

00:46:22.153 --> 00:46:25.771
box, but everybody is doing a
I'm seeing 100% so far knocking

abbd784f-1dce-4714-91a0-ffe7ee898427-2
00:46:25.771 --> 00:46:26.880
it out of the park.

d66e4045-fa72-40f6-a884-151b69132d33-0
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:34.923
So for everyone that answered
false, you are correct when it

d66e4045-fa72-40f6-a884-151b69132d33-1
00:46:34.923 --> 00:46:37.040
comes to tariff classification.

a9cec056-f948-4a9e-a983-7b164ec16d78-0
00:46:37.040 --> 00:46:39.828
Meet analogs have been
classified elsewhere in the

00:46:39.828 --> 00:46:43.000
tariff that is more specific for
each respective product.

05cd9c21-ad49-4563-8515-27ba3a331c03-0
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.676
As I just shown in the examples
in the last few slides, while

05cd9c21-ad49-4563-8515-27ba3a331c03-1
00:46:47.676 --> 00:46:51.656
many plant based products have
been classified in 21 O 6, only

05cd9c21-ad49-4563-8515-27ba3a331c03-2
00:46:51.656 --> 00:46:55.510
those products which have been
eliminated from more specific

00:46:55.510 --> 00:46:59.680
heading in the tariff that could
be applicable can be classified.

00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.861
You're even considered in the
basket provision of heading 21 O

a4348d5f-65f5-4137-ac17-46f5706f3112-1
00:47:02.861 --> 00:47:02.960

00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:11.320
These are some helpful
questions.

ec16549e-d007-44c5-ae3c-627f3218401e-0
00:47:11.520 --> 00:47:15.375
As I promised earlier in this
presentation that we asked

ec16549e-d007-44c5-ae3c-627f3218401e-1
00:47:15.375 --> 00:47:18.960
before we issue any binding
ruling or determination.

00:47:20.240 --> 00:47:23.565
These can be used for many types
of food products you're you're

0c2b49f6-53d5-46cc-bf1d-c0aa26f9004f-1
00:47:23.565 --> 00:47:24.760
attempting to classify.

9d316c3d-deff-40ea-b395-3df34d4685c6-0
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:28.849
And having this information in
the beginning will help us avoid

9d316c3d-deff-40ea-b395-3df34d4685c6-1
00:47:28.849 --> 00:47:32.746
issuing any return letters or
delays as we are limited to 30

9d316c3d-deff-40ea-b395-3df34d4685c6-2
00:47:32.746 --> 00:47:36.899
days calendar from submission to
provide an official response to

9d316c3d-deff-40ea-b395-3df34d4685c6-3
00:47:36.899 --> 00:47:39.199
any ruling request that you
submit.

52532ded-fa17-44ee-8b99-336ac4a10b3d-0
00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:46.571
Again, as I alluded to, we
welcome you encourage you to

52532ded-fa17-44ee-8b99-336ac4a10b3d-1
00:47:46.571 --> 00:47:48.960
submit binding rulings again.

092b4871-e5bc-42ff-aa79-8476745b3fb9-0
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:51.120

this slide.

00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:56.284
You can also type in the CDPE
rulings on your preferred search

818df015-74a7-48d3-bd58-6eaa67033421-1
00:47:56.284 --> 00:47:58.360
engine, Google, or anywhere
else.

00:48:00.600 --> 00:48:04.912
We ask that you provide as much
information as possible which

47e6eb8d-3608-4a5f-b637-a95c99afa9c8-1
00:48:04.912 --> 00:48:08.320
will avoid delays, so we could
issue any ruling.

00:48:11.720 --> 00:48:15.160
Here's some useful links,
including Cross.

2d4441db-89fe-4183-abe7-6cf916a1ae8f-0
00:48:15.160 --> 00:48:19.055
I mentioned a few times the E
Rulings portal, the tariff

2d4441db-89fe-4183-abe7-6cf916a1ae8f-1
00:48:19.055 --> 00:48:23.156
schedule and the link which the
webinars will be eventually

2d4441db-89fe-4183-abe7-6cf916a1ae8f-2
00:48:23.156 --> 00:48:23.840
posted to.

00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:33.789
Please note the contact
information for myself, also the

a4b38365-2ba8-41e9-97ea-2935d88a179f-1
00:48:33.789 --> 00:48:36.480
link for the CCS credit.

00:48:41.970 --> 00:48:43.690
And thank you everybody.

9a698136-580f-4df4-9b38-4fa740fc74e9-0
00:48:43.730 --> 00:48:45.490
I'll open this up for questions.

b052c3b2-aade-4c9a-ad14-64e76ca36e3f-0
00:48:48.530 --> 00:48:48.770
OK.

618793ab-dc99-46cb-bfe0-67174ef79bcd-0
00:48:48.770 --> 00:48:51.918
So the one question that's come
in is if you can go back to that

618793ab-dc99-46cb-bfe0-67174ef79bcd-1
00:48:51.918 --> 00:48:54.727
list of the good questions to
ask for rulings when you're

618793ab-dc99-46cb-bfe0-67174ef79bcd-2
00:48:54.727 --> 00:48:54.970
done.

00:48:54.970 --> 00:48:56.730
And I think that's slide 26.

28165c99-44b9-4db1-9dd8-2f84b100850a-0
00:48:58.080 --> 00:48:58.440
Great.

c6620cab-feff-4b9b-8466-b9ec5d973954-0
00:48:58.640 --> 00:48:59.680
That's a question I like.

53a2c7fb-5cef-4ece-b9b7-4aa9dfbec47f-0
00:48:59.680 --> 00:49:00.080
Thank you.

00:49:06.070 --> 00:49:06.510
Leave it there.

00:49:06.510 --> 00:49:08.303
If anyone wants to take a
picture of that, you can do

6d808f1d-c2dc-4c1d-afa5-a4c5d9272745-1
00:49:08.303 --> 00:49:08.470
that.

00:49:08.470 --> 00:49:10.150
And it it'll also be in the
recording.

b9aca6da-1c40-4952-8ae0-1478973c7d14-0
00:49:16.790 --> 00:49:17.190
And that's it.

79d30dcf-12ab-4281-aa7a-7deb323118f2-0
00:49:17.190 --> 00:49:18.670
There's no more questions that
came in.

906dc5cd-92bd-4802-98cd-ff1f910276e3-0
00:49:18.670 --> 00:49:21.110
If you can just end on your
contact information.
