636986da-ebdd-47ea-9aee-1388fe7a44b3-0

Thank you so much, Chrissi.

a8d7ba3a-2d3e-42d5-aedd-2c72f7997c22-0
00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:51.480
We are thrilled to be able to do
a webinar like this for the

a8d7ba3a-2d3e-42d5-aedd-2c72f7997c22-1
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:55.654
small businesses and it's really
a pleasure because we usually

a8d7ba3a-2d3e-42d5-aedd-2c72f7997c22-2
00:00:55.654 --> 00:00:59.297
focus on the bigger, you know,
partners and the bigger

a8d7ba3a-2d3e-42d5-aedd-2c72f7997c22-3
00:00:59.297 --> 00:01:02.080
businesses, especially with the
webinars.

e599c39c-1010-44e2-9e32-4b7ac5cdacca-0
00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:03.480
But I'll, I'll get to that
later.

877fefd4-1dda-49b2-b93c-60d5b10a64b5-0
00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:06.924
But you know, having a new
community to really train and

877fefd4-1dda-49b2-b93c-60d5b10a64b5-1
00:01:06.924 --> 00:01:09.680
provide information to is going
to be wonderful.

676478d2-5952-4822-afd7-968481f96bd7-0
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:12.200
My name again is Denise Faingar.

f7a5b436-52ba-4f0e-a223-670e76bcfb5f-0
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.840
I am a branch chief with the
Consumer Products and mass

f7a5b436-52ba-4f0e-a223-670e76bcfb5f-1
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.575
Merchandising branch of the
National Commodity Specialist

f7a5b436-52ba-4f0e-a223-670e76bcfb5f-2
00:01:17.575 --> 00:01:17.999
Division.

e494409b-d411-44e7-ac46-19fb306347f6-0
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:21.927
And with me today are my
colleagues, James Forcan, who's

e494409b-d411-44e7-ac46-19fb306347f6-1
00:01:21.927 --> 00:01:25.597
also a branch chief in the
division, and also Steve Mack,

e494409b-d411-44e7-ac46-19fb306347f6-2
00:01:25.597 --> 00:01:26.800
who is our director.

4878ed6e-9396-4b30-8c5a-93796e3057ed-0
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:31.347
And we pretty much are going to
go over what our division can

4878ed6e-9396-4b30-8c5a-93796e3057ed-1
00:01:31.347 --> 00:01:34.280
offer you in in your importing
day-to-day.

a6569395-74e4-480f-8953-8a31c1b754c1-0
00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:36.880
And also what are the benefits
of what we offer?

f351c486-8cb1-4fbf-a2c1-cb0baf919629-0
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.960
And then we're going to end with
a live demo of how to submit an

f351c486-8cb1-4fbf-a2c1-cb0baf919629-1
00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:44.640
E ruling, which is one of the
the many things that we offer.

fea90f97-a52b-44e2-af6b-d56b461d3c3c-0
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.600
So with that welcome, sit back
and I hope you enjoy.

c64d9d34-3a74-47d0-8484-edeb21d70ff1-0
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.458
You can hold the questions to
the end, but if there's

c64d9d34-3a74-47d0-8484-edeb21d70ff1-1
00:01:52.458 --> 00:01:54.547
something burning, you can
always put in the chat box so

c64d9d34-3a74-47d0-8484-edeb21d70ff1-2
00:01:54.547 --> 00:01:55.280
you don't forget it.

4f001c71-84b8-4244-ac68-d3b226458ccd-0
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.720
So we have basically the Office
of Trade.

6e07e771-f4cb-469f-9c21-c6aa31cb5348-0
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.334
And as you know, the Office of
Field OPS is who you deal with

6e07e771-f4cb-469f-9c21-c6aa31cb5348-1
00:02:02.334 --> 00:02:05.400
on a regular basis when you are
submitting your entries.

e511bb7f-566d-4233-9f37-7742545593c0-0
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.880
But not many of you know about
the Office of Trade.

94936f32-422c-4b17-9d73-4ea2d3be1c54-0
00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:11.057
Some of you may know Reg Audit,
but not many of you know all the

94936f32-422c-4b17-9d73-4ea2d3be1c54-1
00:02:11.057 --> 00:02:13.160
ins and outs of the Office
of Trade.

3ed5908f-ae31-494b-bff7-2b6cd108c5e1-0
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.000
So basically we provide a
different side of the house.

9844cb22-6ccf-4788-804b-fc46b4707225-0
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.718
We're dealing with international
trade, facilitating that process

9844cb22-6ccf-4788-804b-fc46b4707225-1
00:02:20.718 --> 00:02:23.647
to protect the borders and
ensure economic national

9844cb22-6ccf-4788-804b-fc46b4707225-2
00:02:23.647 --> 00:02:26.859
security under the executive
assistant commissioner Anne

9844cb22-6ccf-4788-804b-fc46b4707225-3
00:02:26.859 --> 00:02:29.000
Marie Highsmith, who is there on
top.

b505cbae-b30a-412b-948e-6a099b84a794-0
00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:32.440
She has seven directorates to
help her do this.

60ab2587-7917-4a21-ad1e-c3b98a8a9fd5-0
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:35.480
And Anne Marie reports to the
commissioner.

784e0928-5d40-4118-8b89-635808c40571-0
00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:38.403
Currently, the commissioner is
Troy A Miller, who's the senior

784e0928-5d40-4118-8b89-635808c40571-1
00:02:38.403 --> 00:02:41.123
official performing the duties
of the commissioner for the US

784e0928-5d40-4118-8b89-635808c40571-2
00:02:41.123 --> 00:02:42.440
Customs and Border Protection.

4eaf49c2-64be-4a36-82ba-4afd1ad2268d-0
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.840
And these offices collaborate to
facilitate the flow of

4eaf49c2-64be-4a36-82ba-4afd1ad2268d-1
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:46.800
legitimate trade.

4db7bb96-b010-4c21-88a2-888762f94bab-0
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:50.282
So we enforce trade laws, we
protect national economic

4db7bb96-b010-4c21-88a2-888762f94bab-1
00:02:50.282 --> 00:02:53.760
security, we make sure health
and safety is taken care of.

77f9e57f-9cad-4236-a642-3ad43d0e6210-0
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.405
And also we give you some cost
as far as what duties do you

77f9e57f-9cad-4236-a642-3ad43d0e6210-1
00:02:57.405 --> 00:02:59.960
have to pay in order to bring
your goods in.

2b8e282a-ce1e-474a-b5fe-e9d7fe53355f-0
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:03.030
So that will hopefully create a
more fair and competitive and

2b8e282a-ce1e-474a-b5fe-e9d7fe53355f-1
00:03:03.030 --> 00:03:04.080
safe trade environment.

b43ee321-fda0-46bf-9b4c-d3af103a4861-0
00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:08.393
Just to, you know, run down the
other people in this

b43ee321-fda0-46bf-9b4c-d3af103a4861-1
00:03:08.393 --> 00:03:09.840
organizational overview.

f8a96967-3549-4755-b01b-115b554be61e-0
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.480
Rose Brophy, she comes from the
Boston office.

bd0a36a4-0f0c-47fa-9b57-447c98586519-0
00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:14.720
She's the port director there.

7b0d2a1e-2688-4559-83ae-0f840a68d3da-0
00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:18.298
So she's now the acting deputy
executive assistant

7b0d2a1e-2688-4559-83ae-0f840a68d3da-1
00:03:18.298 --> 00:03:19.160
commissioner.

f6e92abb-6f59-4e9c-b372-659d06f1b6d9-0
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:24.342
She took over for John Leonard
when he left and then Honor

f6e92abb-6f59-4e9c-b372-659d06f1b6d9-1
00:03:24.342 --> 00:03:25.640
Garcia Tomczyk.

807f6748-5e41-4832-9f90-8c12f0acd870-0
00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:28.774
She basically handles a lot of
the mission support stuff, our

807f6748-5e41-4832-9f90-8c12f0acd870-1
00:03:28.774 --> 00:03:30.240
human resources, if you will.

9a5bb885-dfdb-4bed-8f86-92aa22bc605d-0
00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:33.711
Diane Rodriguez, she's in
operations that really

9a5bb885-dfdb-4bed-8f86-92aa22bc605d-1
00:03:33.711 --> 00:03:37.252
collaborates well with the
Office of Field Operations and

9a5bb885-dfdb-4bed-8f86-92aa22bc605d-2
00:03:37.252 --> 00:03:39.999
what's happening in the border
and so forth.

c16a8ff3-7521-4c5a-81cd-d8d6643cd7f8-0
00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:42.240
I'll get to Alice in a minute.

ea92af10-c172-4db0-b653-bf05c5802a12-0
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.440
That's our fearless leader,
Landon.

b7344fe0-ac4c-495a-b3f7-eb91090fe6f5-0
00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:48.044
Brandon Lord is the executive
director for trade policy and

b7344fe0-ac4c-495a-b3f7-eb91090fe6f5-1
00:03:48.044 --> 00:03:51.547
programs because so you have a
lot of interesting programs that

b7344fe0-ac4c-495a-b3f7-eb91090fe6f5-2
00:03:51.547 --> 00:03:53.080
come out of that e-commerce.

d31e29e3-2420-4a4f-9bb6-54b377768b19-0
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.740
For one, the Green Trade
initiative, Annabelle Marrero,

d31e29e3-2420-4a4f-9bb6-54b377768b19-1
00:03:57.740 --> 00:04:02.400
he's the executive director for
trade regulatory audit.

50d5d44c-5eae-419c-b0b0-f14d9862f589-0
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.760
So obviously he had those all
audit aspects and all the people

50d5d44c-5eae-419c-b0b0-f14d9862f589-1
00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:09.280
under him probably have seen you
at some point to do some audits.

0cbbf77c-d15c-46fe-9389-dcc329d66448-0
00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:13.320
Eric Choi, he's more enforcement
trade remedies.

eab22536-4710-403b-a702-1297122a3fd6-0
00:04:13.320 --> 00:04:16.240
You hear about forced labor that
comes out of that office.

96945608-f633-43f5-ba86-0eb0e1b69da0-0
00:04:16.520 --> 00:04:20.000
And James Byram, he does the
trade transformation office.

2d551919-8f6c-4339-97d2-c4590607954a-0
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.673
So I believe that handles like
the anti dumping things like

2d551919-8f6c-4339-97d2-c4590607954a-1
00:04:23.673 --> 00:04:23.960
that.

74611b8a-a8eb-4852-abab-27a5fc265500-0
00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:27.653
So there there's a lot of
different moving parts that make

74611b8a-a8eb-4852-abab-27a5fc265500-1
00:04:27.653 --> 00:04:31.283
this puzzle fit together to
protect you and help you with

74611b8a-a8eb-4852-abab-27a5fc265500-2
00:04:31.283 --> 00:04:32.160
your business.

9e90b540-8eb4-48b1-a396-74e2399e2a05-0
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.480
So regulations and rulings is
Alice.

628bac78-b35d-48ab-ae00-7bd4bfd4b694-0
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.080
So that's the one I said I'll
get to.

3171ae5f-a62e-49ef-9574-976ed7553313-0
00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:42.137
So Alice Kipple is overseeing
the entire regulations and

3171ae5f-a62e-49ef-9574-976ed7553313-1
00:04:42.137 --> 00:04:46.479
rulings and we provide essential
technical legal support and

3171ae5f-a62e-49ef-9574-976ed7553313-2
00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:47.119
guidance.

3dbe6f67-e79e-48b0-93f5-da8fd7289bb5-0
00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:51.616
First, the trade mission of
customs to make sure that all

3dbe6f67-e79e-48b0-93f5-da8fd7289bb5-1
00:04:51.616 --> 00:04:53.560
the laws are are out there.

b6d2f609-4b82-4f73-ba20-5c6a74514e40-0
00:04:53.760 --> 00:04:57.046
Regulations are updated and
they're illegally binding

b6d2f609-4b82-4f73-ba20-5c6a74514e40-1
00:04:57.046 --> 00:04:59.360
rulings that come out of our
offices.

b1a2f211-96bd-4a98-a84a-445082240126-0
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.116
We basically are also like the
third party review when people

b1a2f211-96bd-4a98-a84a-445082240126-1
00:05:03.116 --> 00:05:06.689
disagree with what's happening
in the and how your merchandise

b1a2f211-96bd-4a98-a84a-445082240126-2
00:05:06.689 --> 00:05:07.880
is to say classified.

2268686a-44f3-4ff3-80b9-d768507b0149-0
00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:11.069
You want to go for a protest,
but then you want a third party,

2268686a-44f3-4ff3-80b9-d768507b0149-1
00:05:11.069 --> 00:05:13.680
maybe because you disagree with
what the port's doing.

562e1af1-6e61-4bf1-913d-b62e7ea18070-0
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.020
So you can choke off the box
when you do your protest and for

562e1af1-6e61-4bf1-913d-b62e7ea18070-1
00:05:17.020 --> 00:05:18.320
protesting further review.

5ba172a4-5ae6-408a-a8e1-5b2bdaaf7839-0
00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:22.310
And that goes to regulations and
rulings and those are where all

5ba172a4-5ae6-408a-a8e1-5b2bdaaf7839-1
00:05:22.310 --> 00:05:24.520
the attorney advisors are
assigned.

3cfa85bb-7bd7-4b45-9cce-99249f7cf39e-0
00:05:24.760 --> 00:05:29.312
And they basically will make
these complex decisions based on

3cfa85bb-7bd7-4b45-9cce-99249f7cf39e-1
00:05:29.312 --> 00:05:34.084
technical legal interpretations
of not only the tariff, but also

3cfa85bb-7bd7-4b45-9cce-99249f7cf39e-2
00:05:34.084 --> 00:05:35.480
of the regulations.

8d6a3276-9d6e-4a6e-ad3e-b800241360eb-0
00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:39.841
And so we render objective
determinations on a variety of

8d6a3276-9d6e-4a6e-ad3e-b800241360eb-1
00:05:39.841 --> 00:05:40.320
issues.

2613b4f3-9871-4b8e-90c7-26e45cdf09cd-0
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.951
Also, the recourse that you have
when a ruling, which I'll get to

2613b4f3-9871-4b8e-90c7-26e45cdf09cd-1
00:05:44.951 --> 00:05:48.156
in a minute has been issued, if
you want a revocation or

2613b4f3-9871-4b8e-90c7-26e45cdf09cd-2
00:05:48.156 --> 00:05:50.800
modification, you you would go
to that office.

f92498ab-1fbb-460d-8e85-7d419d3584b9-0
00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:55.075
Under regular regulations,
rulings is not only Alice's shop

f92498ab-1fbb-460d-8e85-7d419d3584b9-1
00:05:55.075 --> 00:05:59.119
and headquarters in DC where all
the attorneys are, but it's also

f92498ab-1fbb-460d-8e85-7d419d3584b9-2
00:05:59.119 --> 00:06:02.734
where we are in the National
Commodity Specialist division

f92498ab-1fbb-460d-8e85-7d419d3584b9-3
00:06:02.734 --> 00:06:05.920
located at the World Trade
Center in New York City.

31bd2a92-1aaa-4a80-b300-30dad567b48f-0
00:06:06.280 --> 00:06:10.280
And under Alice, she has four
divisions.

ac07197a-7d78-4bad-9a66-002bb4d57694-0
00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:13.846
Robert Alt New really handles
the regulations of the

ac07197a-7d78-4bad-9a66-002bb4d57694-1
00:06:13.846 --> 00:06:14.720
disclosure law.

627440af-b09c-4a3c-b77d-d12d25f452b0-0
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.600
Basically any foyers will come
out of that office.

cdfa7a00-fa7d-488d-ad30-e25d0e4512fa-0
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.080
Any new regulations are coming
out of that office.

08faf3e5-0061-42f1-9450-40d83c9f53f3-0
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:24.005
And then Yulia Gulis, she
handles the commercial and trade

08faf3e5-0061-42f1-9450-40d83c9f53f3-1
00:06:24.005 --> 00:06:24.800
facilitation.

ff21f91b-f276-47b2-b142-939c4c5f0f17-0
00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:27.420
So that really mirrors what we
do in the national Commodity

ff21f91b-f276-47b2-b142-939c4c5f0f17-1
00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:28.240
specialist division.

efec9259-39e1-4e4f-8747-98d0bd4cd7e6-0
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.617
They're the ones who are
handling the more advanced

efec9259-39e1-4e4f-8747-98d0bd4cd7e6-1
00:06:30.617 --> 00:06:32.080
rulings that I just spoke about.

af45d4eb-218e-4ef2-8cb7-75a3165e6545-0
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.088
And they do more than just
classification marking origin,

af45d4eb-218e-4ef2-8cb7-75a3165e6545-1
00:06:36.088 --> 00:06:40.335
they're basically handling entry
valuation things that we don't

af45d4eb-218e-4ef2-8cb7-75a3165e6545-2
00:06:40.335 --> 00:06:43.520
really get involved in, in our
in our division.

cb85b54d-d1cb-4bd8-a554-edd2be4ac35c-0
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.356
Steve Mack, who you will be
hearing from is our division

cb85b54d-d1cb-4bd8-a554-edd2be4ac35c-1
00:06:47.356 --> 00:06:47.880
director.

ae03c598-47c6-4684-aaba-ecc7bb08cfa5-0
00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:50.160
We're very blessed to have him.

e5e99370-81c7-4a7e-800b-fc6d2c11c81a-0
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.282
He's not only easygoing, but he
has many, many years of audit

e5e99370-81c7-4a7e-800b-fc6d2c11c81a-1
00:06:54.282 --> 00:06:55.280
under his belt.

7cae86d6-afa3-468f-b474-b6a6239620b4-0
00:06:55.320 --> 00:06:57.640
And so that means that he's a
numbers guy.

1d5a1dd9-9590-4b86-86da-fdfd57e3c083-0
00:06:57.640 --> 00:07:01.472
He knows how to work the numbers
and try to provide as much

1d5a1dd9-9590-4b86-86da-fdfd57e3c083-1
00:07:01.472 --> 00:07:04.857
guidance and support to
budgeting and all that other

1d5a1dd9-9590-4b86-86da-fdfd57e3c083-2
00:07:04.857 --> 00:07:05.560
good stuff.

1de87731-3aef-445c-9fd9-255e84b6efa3-0
00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:09.560
So under him we, we have 5
branches now.

2f274590-fcb7-4a8a-8eed-1b67fc471a01-0
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.996
We used to have 4, but you know,
we have a very big employee to a

2f274590-fcb7-4a8a-8eed-1b67fc471a01-1
00:07:13.996 --> 00:07:17.560
supervisor ratio and compared to
other areas in CBP.

569969a4-cef7-45b3-8aa0-01c83f115086-0
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.737
So we now have five and four of
the branches are really going to

569969a4-cef7-45b3-8aa0-01c83f115086-1
00:07:21.737 --> 00:07:25.419
be marrying what Yulia's group
does as far as industry and

569969a4-cef7-45b3-8aa0-01c83f115086-2
00:07:25.419 --> 00:07:29.040
classification of specific
commodities across the tariff.

bd617cf4-1bd8-4019-a927-c0de3ef96e77-0
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.480
So we do that as well.

028f69c5-fcb5-4afa-8a3f-76807f499763-0
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.768
To just run through some names,
Evan Canseco, he he pretty much

028f69c5-fcb5-4afa-8a3f-76807f499763-1
00:07:35.768 --> 00:07:39.055
handles machinery and
manufacturing and he is about,

028f69c5-fcb5-4afa-8a3f-76807f499763-2
00:07:39.055 --> 00:07:42.961
you know, we all have about 20
national impact specialists and

028f69c5-fcb5-4afa-8a3f-76807f499763-3
00:07:42.961 --> 00:07:46.000
and misses maybe some have more,
some have less.

581436e4-1ddd-4e32-ba81-758f55d28947-0
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.660
My branch again handles the
consumer products, mass

581436e4-1ddd-4e32-ba81-758f55d28947-1
00:07:48.660 --> 00:07:51.267
merchandising and anything all
the other branches don't

581436e4-1ddd-4e32-ba81-758f55d28947-2
00:07:51.267 --> 00:07:51.640
handles.

2640adf2-7075-4d8d-9f3c-c1f959d4fecc-0
00:07:51.640 --> 00:07:52.920
We call that miscellaneous.

a3e4956b-70a1-48b6-ba6d-17b51ed0285c-0
00:07:53.320 --> 00:07:55.969
James Forkin, who you will be
hearing today, he'll be giving

a3e4956b-70a1-48b6-ba6d-17b51ed0285c-1
00:07:55.969 --> 00:07:56.360
the demo.

8acd920e-aba5-49db-8dad-8d3f8a7bc78b-0
00:07:56.640 --> 00:08:00.058
He's the branch chief for
electronics, automotive,

8acd920e-aba5-49db-8dad-8d3f8a7bc78b-1
00:08:00.058 --> 00:08:01.600
aerospace and footwear.

014da9fa-7904-47c6-884e-44713c599db1-0
00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:05.268
And Deborah Maranucci is another
branch chief that you may have

014da9fa-7904-47c6-884e-44713c599db1-1
00:08:05.268 --> 00:08:07.904
dealt with regarding textiles
and wearing apparel,

014da9fa-7904-47c6-884e-44713c599db1-2
00:08:07.904 --> 00:08:09.920
pharmaceuticals, health and
chemicals.

5c2138b8-3fab-462e-adfb-342e7abad275-0
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.107
And last, Mark Nachman handles
more the enforcement and trade

5c2138b8-3fab-462e-adfb-342e7abad275-1
00:08:14.107 --> 00:08:14.680
remedies.

81e989cf-7217-4dc9-bf11-85a3a677054b-0
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.154
You know, he has the groups that
handle the health and safety

81e989cf-7217-4dc9-bf11-85a3a677054b-1
00:08:18.154 --> 00:08:21.684
products, really the food stuff
and things like that, but they

81e989cf-7217-4dc9-bf11-85a3a677054b-2
00:08:21.684 --> 00:08:24.879
focus a lot on on trade remedies
and enforcement by that

81e989cf-7217-4dc9-bf11-85a3a677054b-3
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:25.999
supporting guidance.

582d8241-406e-4789-af40-ae25c961289d-0
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.670
And and last is Lena Van Horn
shop that basically handles more

582d8241-406e-4789-af40-ae25c961289d-1
00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:36.367
things like IPR, intellectual
property rights, exclusion

582d8241-406e-4789-af40-ae25c961289d-2
00:08:36.367 --> 00:08:41.063
orders, penalty seizures,
customs violations, commercial

582d8241-406e-4789-af40-ae25c961289d-3
00:08:41.063 --> 00:08:45.760
violations, and the carriers are
restricted merchandise.

562192a2-95ae-4de6-afec-b4aad1556992-0
00:08:45.760 --> 00:08:49.055
So that's all good stuff that
comes out of the entire

562192a2-95ae-4de6-afec-b4aad1556992-1
00:08:49.055 --> 00:08:50.520
regulations and rulings.

3a92f527-e3f8-4d1b-a426-f4bf9e5af31d-0
00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:54.996
I, I believe together I know we
have about 104 people at the

3a92f527-e3f8-4d1b-a426-f4bf9e5af31d-1
00:08:54.996 --> 00:08:59.382
national, my specialist division
and Alice must have over 100 as

3a92f527-e3f8-4d1b-a426-f4bf9e5af31d-2
00:08:59.382 --> 00:08:59.720
well.

1cb342ce-0a5f-4d0c-8ae3-acf43b1a5111-0
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.759
So we have like a nice sized
group, not as big as the office

1cb342ce-0a5f-4d0c-8ae3-acf43b1a5111-1
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:05.680
of Field OPS, but big enough.

2247d5ee-ae1b-4c36-98c2-f09404f0b8f6-0
00:09:06.280 --> 00:09:08.000
We do our job and we're always
expanding.

484cf0fb-d7c2-4e0d-8678-6529085f11b6-0
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.914
So again, the national commodity
specialist division, we call it

484cf0fb-d7c2-4e0d-8678-6529085f11b6-1
00:09:12.914 --> 00:09:17.118
NCSD focuses on classification,
marking, country of origin,

484cf0fb-d7c2-4e0d-8678-6529085f11b6-2
00:09:17.118 --> 00:09:19.080
trade agreement eligibility.

4f9b75b3-75fd-437b-894a-0bb7d7032f24-0
00:09:19.280 --> 00:09:22.438
You know are are goods going to
be eligible for specific

4f9b75b3-75fd-437b-894a-0bb7d7032f24-1
00:09:22.438 --> 00:09:25.873
preferential treatment under a
trade agreement Section 2O1232

4f9b75b3-75fd-437b-894a-0bb7d7032f24-2
00:09:25.873 --> 00:09:27.480
and three O 1 trade remedies.

4d5aeadb-eb11-4dbf-9fe4-683514d14fd1-0
00:09:27.640 --> 00:09:29.400
These are all additional duties.

139e5ef9-d94d-4934-ae5c-245c62d0f122-0
00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:33.991
As you know, the three O 1's
many of you know were across the

139e5ef9-d94d-4934-ae5c-245c62d0f122-1
00:09:33.991 --> 00:09:38.360
tariff additional 25% from China
and recently in June they

139e5ef9-d94d-4934-ae5c-245c62d0f122-2
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.360
reduced that significantly.

e9a6690f-73bf-460d-be2a-3b64d28b73a4-0
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.533
So that's good, but you never
know what the new administration

e9a6690f-73bf-460d-be2a-3b64d28b73a4-1
00:09:43.533 --> 00:09:46.505
what's going to happen with
these additional duty programs

e9a6690f-73bf-460d-be2a-3b64d28b73a4-2
00:09:46.505 --> 00:09:48.520
and then exclusions from all the
above.

a54ef3f6-ea74-4208-97ab-39f33c0780ee-0
00:09:48.520 --> 00:09:51.779
So, you know, we're making
determinations of what's

a54ef3f6-ea74-4208-97ab-39f33c0780ee-1
00:09:51.779 --> 00:09:55.791
eligible and what what basically
is the determination for a lot

a54ef3f6-ea74-4208-97ab-39f33c0780ee-2
00:09:55.791 --> 00:09:56.920
of your questions.

8e98ecf6-5db4-41d8-a04d-29f614e42aac-0
00:09:57.160 --> 00:10:00.556
So everyone in our division is
considered a subject matter and

8e98ecf6-5db4-41d8-a04d-29f614e42aac-1
00:10:00.556 --> 00:10:03.845
tariff expert and more so the
national import specialist who

8e98ecf6-5db4-41d8-a04d-29f614e42aac-2
00:10:03.845 --> 00:10:06.864
I'll explain what they do, but
their assistants too are

8e98ecf6-5db4-41d8-a04d-29f614e42aac-3
00:10:06.864 --> 00:10:08.320
developing their expertise.

c97c11fc-6bee-45ed-b1b7-7d70cb1cd01a-0
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.726
So we do a lot of training
internally to provide that to

c97c11fc-6bee-45ed-b1b7-7d70cb1cd01a-1
00:10:11.726 --> 00:10:13.400
them, seminars and so forth.

206f5272-3767-45fe-b0d3-1fe9e67dca4c-0
00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:17.760
And your, your questions help
train us as well.

6efd083e-1a7d-4d22-ab9d-b1c915b96a28-0
00:10:17.760 --> 00:10:20.706
Because every time I ask someone
something, all of a sudden

6efd083e-1a7d-4d22-ab9d-b1c915b96a28-1
00:10:20.706 --> 00:10:22.720
they're like, I never heard that
before.

d793b31b-ec72-44b4-af89-2f8dbf2fe5ec-0
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.721
You've been doing this 15 years,
but the merchandise changes, it

d793b31b-ec72-44b4-af89-2f8dbf2fe5ec-1
00:10:26.721 --> 00:10:29.800
evolves and there's always a new
and complex job.

77012785-0cfb-48f7-add8-9ea88e79ccca-0
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.160
Otherwise they wouldn't be
coming to you guys wouldn't be

77012785-0cfb-48f7-add8-9ea88e79ccca-1
00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:32.680
coming to us.

15d9595b-82d0-409f-b272-c5a6f8b64367-0
00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:36.705
So it is very challenging and
very interesting to and that's

15d9595b-82d0-409f-b272-c5a6f8b64367-1
00:10:36.705 --> 00:10:39.120
how we build our, our commodity
expertise.

2d66987e-2755-4769-8ef8-3177cc9d04df-0
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.834
We're where the resident experts
for not only CBP, the rest of

2d66987e-2755-4769-8ef8-3177cc9d04df-1
00:10:43.834 --> 00:10:47.557
CBP, meaning the import
specialist inspectors and what's

2d66987e-2755-4769-8ef8-3177cc9d04df-2
00:10:47.557 --> 00:10:51.345
happening in headquarters, but
also our public, including

2d66987e-2755-4769-8ef8-3177cc9d04df-3
00:10:51.345 --> 00:10:55.133
yourself, everyone in the trade
community and our partner

2d66987e-2755-4769-8ef8-3177cc9d04df-4
00:10:55.133 --> 00:10:56.440
government agencies.

af0e808c-0d3b-47ac-b49b-98ff79ba51c8-0
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.477
Many times we review the scope
rulings for the Department of

af0e808c-0d3b-47ac-b49b-98ff79ba51c8-1
00:10:59.477 --> 00:10:59.920
Commerce.

4be0be12-4292-4c63-a4c8-f320437f1931-0
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.751
So that's always interesting to
see like what is kind of

4be0be12-4292-4c63-a4c8-f320437f1931-1
00:11:02.751 --> 00:11:05.080
included or not in the scope,
what's administrable.

bd994e84-9487-4e71-8f84-1fed6a3dd7a2-0
00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:06.200
So we get involved in that.

a810a22a-3f06-4177-b9d0-a89b3ac26367-0
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.823
And then the court of
international trade, when things

a810a22a-3f06-4177-b9d0-a89b3ac26367-1
00:11:09.823 --> 00:11:13.908
go to court, we are our group is
usually the witnesses or the

a810a22a-3f06-4177-b9d0-a89b3ac26367-2
00:11:13.908 --> 00:11:17.400
people who are coming to provide
expert testimonies.

1c7dad33-5299-4264-b9a0-cfee12f8e3ab-0
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.301
Lastly, we do outreach and I'm
proud to say that I oversee the

1c7dad33-5299-4264-b9a0-cfee12f8e3ab-1
00:11:22.301 --> 00:11:24.640
webinar program since its
inception.

378c4af2-a0ec-440a-9c47-60dcd2cb4bfc-0
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.160
Many people help me with that
entire process.

cc99ea9f-d1b0-4bca-af38-9f112d70b8a0-0
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:30.360
It's not a one man show for
sure.

23ab760b-86a9-475f-bd5c-f484ffc9d4de-0
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.907
And we have all of our national
import specialist providing

23ab760b-86a9-475f-bd5c-f484ffc9d4de-1
00:11:33.907 --> 00:11:34.440
webinars.

e3dda20f-1b5a-45e3-986d-cb79f3230d5f-0
00:11:34.760 --> 00:11:37.555
I don't know if many of you
received recently the

e3dda20f-1b5a-45e3-986d-cb79f3230d5f-1
00:11:37.555 --> 00:11:41.076
invitations, the registrations
for these webinars, but they're

e3dda20f-1b5a-45e3-986d-cb79f3230d5f-2
00:11:41.076 --> 00:11:44.263
all educational commodity
specific webinars and they dig

e3dda20f-1b5a-45e3-986d-cb79f3230d5f-3
00:11:44.263 --> 00:11:47.617
deep into how things are made,
how they function, how their

e3dda20f-1b5a-45e3-986d-cb79f3230d5f-4
00:11:47.617 --> 00:11:51.027
class so that you have a better
understanding of how you can

e3dda20f-1b5a-45e3-986d-cb79f3230d5f-5
00:11:51.027 --> 00:11:52.760
classify when we're not around.

d1d82675-6b2b-4a99-b727-b20ee455e0c0-0
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:57.337
So I think they're really useful
and sometimes we do go outside

d1d82675-6b2b-4a99-b727-b20ee455e0c0-1
00:11:57.337 --> 00:12:01.041
of classification and and give
some webinars on country of

d1d82675-6b2b-4a99-b727-b20ee455e0c0-2
00:12:01.041 --> 00:12:04.682
origin and you know, forced
labor, whatever anti dumping,

d1d82675-6b2b-4a99-b727-b20ee455e0c0-3
00:12:04.682 --> 00:12:06.440
whatever is hot a hot topic.

9acd6059-9ed2-4107-9954-773d2150a33f-0
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.339
I want you to know that we do
consider what the trade needs

9acd6059-9ed2-4107-9954-773d2150a33f-1
00:12:10.339 --> 00:12:13.566
when we do these because we work
with the partners in the

9acd6059-9ed2-4107-9954-773d2150a33f-2
00:12:13.566 --> 00:12:17.240
partnership group in the centers
and they reach out to you folks.

668bd61e-e4f4-492c-aaed-1a2d964cffb7-0
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.482
But you know, we send out
surveys, so please look out for

668bd61e-e4f4-492c-aaed-1a2d964cffb7-1
00:12:20.482 --> 00:12:21.120
those surveys.

4ce3ba8b-72b2-4282-bfe8-05c961d752ef-0
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:25.395
They run from February through
September, the end of our fiscal

4ce3ba8b-72b2-4282-bfe8-05c961d752ef-1
00:12:25.395 --> 00:12:25.720
year.

10606bbf-1e7f-428f-801d-f2337422df04-0
00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:31.240
And last year alone we we
reached about 20,000 attendees.

8c18d8f7-ee95-474b-988a-a3ed189900fe-0
00:12:31.280 --> 00:12:34.039
So that means 20,000 people in
the trade community attended and

8c18d8f7-ee95-474b-988a-a3ed189900fe-1
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:34.600
were trained.

f5be1310-7f78-46b6-a0b3-baf3d2ac65ab-0
00:12:34.920 --> 00:12:38.678
And this year we're not only
we're like halfway through when

f5be1310-7f78-46b6-a0b3-baf3d2ac65ab-1
00:12:38.678 --> 00:12:40.280
we already reached 11,500.

24d6f086-c77f-40ba-90a2-2cc56c490c8e-0
00:12:40.280 --> 00:12:43.080
So a wonderful Chrissy, shout
out to Chrissy.

c3a3e848-5df9-465c-9a44-3e183e393f07-0
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.712
She actually helps us to host
these among other people in our

c3a3e848-5df9-465c-9a44-3e183e393f07-1
00:12:46.712 --> 00:12:47.240
division.

48e99ab1-3177-497e-a2bb-6013d0bccae0-0
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.760
So really, really proud of that
type of training.

fdea4cc8-72a8-4f07-9ea2-c6ea1db860b8-0
00:12:50.760 --> 00:12:54.758
And we also provide other types
of forums and training for

fdea4cc8-72a8-4f07-9ea2-c6ea1db860b8-1
00:12:54.758 --> 00:12:58.080
educating everyone on what's new
and what we do.

ae3106e3-5e0b-4f1a-a939-c526706a9997-0
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.440
So what is a national import
specialist?

9e9d20ab-92e6-4835-82fd-16270c35dbd1-0
00:13:00.640 --> 00:13:02.760
And I ask, that's how we, we
call them.

4a01d328-fe9e-443f-b00c-7f5570a5eb7b-0
00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:05.985
We have acronyms for everything,
but the national import

4a01d328-fe9e-443f-b00c-7f5570a5eb7b-1
00:13:05.985 --> 00:13:09.281
specialists are the ones who
actually are making all those

4a01d328-fe9e-443f-b00c-7f5570a5eb7b-2
00:13:09.281 --> 00:13:10.120
determinations.

51bbfc64-57e4-4707-ad63-e3e4f5ea49ec-0
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:11.560
They're the technical experts.

9484d359-4e94-425f-9846-42f7c252fa12-0
00:13:11.760 --> 00:13:14.261
They serve as the national
consultants on tariff

9484d359-4e94-425f-9846-42f7c252fa12-1
00:13:14.261 --> 00:13:17.018
classification and related
issues and administers the

9484d359-4e94-425f-9846-42f7c252fa12-2
00:13:17.018 --> 00:13:19.519
harmonized tariff schedule of
the United States.

b36a2585-1dd9-43cc-be5b-e554a9d1ff54-0
00:13:19.520 --> 00:13:23.320
So they're interpreting the law
of the regulations and also of

b36a2585-1dd9-43cc-be5b-e554a9d1ff54-1
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.181
the tariff schedule in order to
arrive at these determinations,

b36a2585-1dd9-43cc-be5b-e554a9d1ff54-2
00:13:27.181 --> 00:13:30.680
which are usually published when
we get a ruling request.

105d9572-eebb-4a71-8377-5254cd995c4e-0
00:13:30.920 --> 00:13:34.258
And, and when when they're
published, everyone could follow

105d9572-eebb-4a71-8377-5254cd995c4e-1
00:13:34.258 --> 00:13:37.819
them and they're legally binding
so that they're binding on CVP

105d9572-eebb-4a71-8377-5254cd995c4e-2
00:13:37.819 --> 00:13:39.599
and the person who requested it.

672d4680-3f5a-4a19-9cb1-282c22e23776-0
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.227
And then those out there who
have similar merchandise can

672d4680-3f5a-4a19-9cb1-282c22e23776-1
00:13:42.227 --> 00:13:42.680
follow it.

375dadf3-5296-454e-915f-e9a10e0733c3-0
00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:45.941
So that's in a nutshell what the
NIS does among all those other

375dadf3-5296-454e-915f-e9a10e0733c3-1
00:13:45.941 --> 00:13:47.760
things that I just explained
earlier.

076a2ee3-a2c1-43be-af6a-d43285578fa6-0
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:49.800
And then of course, they're
associates.

604bcf6f-c3cb-4ae1-95f3-f1824c4bbf77-0
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.755
We have about 51 national import
specialist, I believe and about

604bcf6f-c3cb-4ae1-95f3-f1824c4bbf77-1
00:13:54.755 --> 00:13:58.749
36 national import specialist
assistants supporting that

604bcf6f-c3cb-4ae1-95f3-f1824c4bbf77-2
00:13:58.749 --> 00:13:59.240
office.

8fa3e2ad-3ee8-4046-ac2d-166d8964bfb1-0
00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:03.142
So every day we just work
together to to facilitate that

8fa3e2ad-3ee8-4046-ac2d-166d8964bfb1-1
00:14:03.142 --> 00:14:04.160
our trade mission.

2a3662cd-5bb2-47be-8890-779576d7866b-0
00:14:06.560 --> 00:14:10.831
So what the the things that we
don't do not the NIS is very

2a3662cd-5bb2-47be-8890-779576d7866b-1
00:14:10.831 --> 00:14:14.320
different from the field import
specials, right?

af80a19a-9ab8-4e42-ae51-9229a3c1a65f-0
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:18.365
We're not processing any
entries, any liquor orders or

af80a19a-9ab8-4e42-ae51-9229a3c1a65f-1
00:14:18.365 --> 00:14:22.926
liquidations, no issuance of
notice of actions for rejections

af80a19a-9ab8-4e42-ae51-9229a3c1a65f-2
00:14:22.926 --> 00:14:25.280
for a DCBD or, or anything else.

422e640c-6055-40d4-b054-63065612252e-0
00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:29.538
We're not sending out 20 eights,
20 nines, no suspensions, no

422e640c-6055-40d4-b054-63065612252e-1
00:14:29.538 --> 00:14:32.560
entry filing monitoring, no
reconciliation.

8e13d32c-8038-4318-94af-f90aaf4d7765-0
00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:34.800
So we don't get involved in any
evaluation.

75fbe14a-7487-4eaa-af71-40ab407bc7e2-0
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.103
We're familiar with it, but we
usually tend to have

75fbe14a-7487-4eaa-af71-40ab407bc7e2-1
00:14:38.103 --> 00:14:39.480
headquarters handle that.

e7391908-0373-442a-b681-f6a2a5eb4002-0
00:14:39.640 --> 00:14:41.987
So we don't even really get
involved in the valuation

e7391908-0373-442a-b681-f6a2a5eb4002-1
00:14:41.987 --> 00:14:42.640
determinations.

6d75447a-d87e-42e6-b6a1-d9d5e94c62e4-0
00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:45.240
So just to be aware of the
differences.

aeb2c6c5-98c1-4f59-b067-5bc9fe7e023a-0
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.454
And again, what I was
referencing before is what is a

aeb2c6c5-98c1-4f59-b067-5bc9fe7e023a-1
00:14:48.454 --> 00:14:48.840
ruling.

78c92bd0-d63c-49c5-8c82-870af91504af-0
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.801
These are the products that we
basically issue out of our

78c92bd0-d63c-49c5-8c82-870af91504af-1
00:14:53.801 --> 00:14:54.400
office.

267ddf6b-d799-48f9-b61c-a8646615342d-0
00:14:54.560 --> 00:14:58.552
These are letters that have a
determination and it's of of

267ddf6b-d799-48f9-b61c-a8646615342d-1
00:14:58.552 --> 00:15:02.476
your specific scenario of
imported goods and it tells the

267ddf6b-d799-48f9-b61c-a8646615342d-2
00:15:02.476 --> 00:15:06.265
request or how CBP is going to
be treating that good or

267ddf6b-d799-48f9-b61c-a8646615342d-3
00:15:06.265 --> 00:15:09.040
conveyance when it's imported to
the US.

2d031761-dfba-4c43-ad4c-ea526134d6d6-0
00:15:09.040 --> 00:15:11.200
So it's for all perspective
shipments.

c50f73b3-dc91-4518-8694-0bf191163f68-0
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.265
There are rules to follow in
order to request the ruling

c50f73b3-dc91-4518-8694-0bf191163f68-1
00:15:15.265 --> 00:15:16.680
under 19 CFR Part 177.

4ce881f3-782a-4aa2-9136-3b77eed5544b-0
00:15:16.680 --> 00:15:17.680
So you could look that up.

0dce29b0-e0df-42e1-ac55-4af8c37a117b-0
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.200
But basically we don't just
handle the classification.

f4495215-a63b-46f9-8dee-d442b2f56c47-0
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.466
We do the country of origin, the
marketing, the tariff

f4495215-a63b-46f9-8dee-d442b2f56c47-1
00:15:23.466 --> 00:15:26.969
classification, eligibility
under the trade agreements and

f4495215-a63b-46f9-8dee-d442b2f56c47-2
00:15:26.969 --> 00:15:27.919
stuff like that.

5ba9be24-fbbd-4a25-ad78-0b7a2c356f28-0
00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:32.073
So like I mentioned before, we
are we represent the official

5ba9be24-fbbd-4a25-ad78-0b7a2c356f28-1
00:15:32.073 --> 00:15:36.158
position of customs with respect
to these set of facts that

5ba9be24-fbbd-4a25-ad78-0b7a2c356f28-2
00:15:36.158 --> 00:15:37.520
you're providing us.

e9b5d316-5086-4b88-8a66-1983f8f61e82-0
00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:41.784
So you can give us anything that
is, you know, a thought that you

e9b5d316-5086-4b88-8a66-1983f8f61e82-1
00:15:41.784 --> 00:15:43.400
might do it hypothetical.

e780d9ae-dfa3-491f-91cc-229118f54beb-0
00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:48.480
It has to be a real valid set of
facts of a prospective shipment.

06633616-69a4-4546-88a6-e4dbcfa6f0fe-0
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.400
And like I said, it's binding on
all those.

084e7a0c-e4cd-45cb-ae6f-b0c1b7703f03-0
00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:57.847
So also we all of those rulings
that we publish that are legally

084e7a0c-e4cd-45cb-ae6f-b0c1b7703f03-1
00:15:57.847 --> 00:16:00.360
binding are founding Cross.

108abe93-c74d-4988-92b5-37cd5cd4f6b1-0
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.200
So we do have a system.

4c3b73d2-e47f-4c77-8924-0fc3dd027e44-0
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.360
How many of you just you wanted
to chat in the box?

8c3c0ce0-db57-487b-972c-26ca3159b490-0
00:16:05.520 --> 00:16:08.120
How many of you use Cross on a
regular basis?

94302f33-7bf0-4437-a5df-56f9dfaf2f86-0
00:16:10.920 --> 00:16:16.253
Cross is really our tool for the
trade to use to search all of

94302f33-7bf0-4437-a5df-56f9dfaf2f86-1
00:16:16.253 --> 00:16:19.640
those rulings that have been
published.

333182b9-cb1f-4c65-b285-5850e1ce3560-0
00:16:20.160 --> 00:16:23.991
It has been updated over the
years, but you know, we have a

333182b9-cb1f-4c65-b285-5850e1ce3560-1
00:16:23.991 --> 00:16:27.760
lot of rulings out there that
are not up to date, I guess.

551b9906-188a-44b7-954f-54f1c6f761af-0
00:16:27.760 --> 00:16:30.660
So they kind of just fall by the
wayside and then we issue new

551b9906-188a-44b7-954f-54f1c6f761af-1
00:16:30.660 --> 00:16:31.720
rulings with the dates.

defb39ef-85f2-460f-98a8-759ea79069b3-0
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.360
But for the most part they're
pretty solid.

36ca614e-bed1-4d06-8dc2-68e93f96234c-0
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:39.002
I mean, I, when I look in there
and I see things from some NIS

36ca614e-bed1-4d06-8dc2-68e93f96234c-1
00:16:39.002 --> 00:16:42.355
is from way back when that I
know knew their job and what

36ca614e-bed1-4d06-8dc2-68e93f96234c-2
00:16:42.355 --> 00:16:43.280
they were doing.

559b5358-e094-4260-a88e-48fa5f14fb5c-0
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:46.703
I take that even though that's
like 10-15 years ago, I'm like,

559b5358-e094-4260-a88e-48fa5f14fb5c-1
00:16:46.703 --> 00:16:48.280
yeah, that's the classification.

e9a37129-7eab-4906-b82c-dc26e99758d9-0
00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:52.653
So it, there's a lot of value to
cross and rulings.cbp.gov is

e9a37129-7eab-4906-b82c-dc26e99758d9-1
00:16:52.653 --> 00:16:56.680
simple enough and that's how you
you search for your ruling.

eba68740-e382-41ed-83da-6437aa50e18a-0
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:01.062
Also, we issue informed
compliance publications, which

eba68740-e382-41ed-83da-6437aa50e18a-1
00:17:01.062 --> 00:17:04.120
again is out there for the trade
to follow.

fc90c866-fb1b-49b0-8a0b-dd0971971c5f-0
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:09.344
This is even a deeper dive into
the classification of specific

fc90c866-fb1b-49b0-8a0b-dd0971971c5f-1
00:17:09.344 --> 00:17:10.240
commodities.

48db37d0-af05-4589-858f-00a62fed81ca-0
00:17:11.280 --> 00:17:14.983
Each ICP discusses a general
theme or specific commodity in

48db37d0-af05-4589-858f-00a62fed81ca-1
00:17:14.983 --> 00:17:18.440
great detail, so they may have
passed rulings in there.

f30620d2-8780-4a5b-9941-238fe3fc0d5b-0
00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:23.165
There's about 39 in general
headings and then over 75 just

f30620d2-8780-4a5b-9941-238fe3fc0d5b-1
00:17:23.165 --> 00:17:27.080
on classification alone of
numerous products and tariff

f30620d2-8780-4a5b-9941-238fe3fc0d5b-2
00:17:27.080 --> 00:17:27.640
numbers.

65994a83-1e72-4637-9272-7aafaccbd3a3-0
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.714
So this is just a little list of
different types of inform

65994a83-1e72-4637-9272-7aafaccbd3a3-1
00:17:30.714 --> 00:17:33.892
compliance publications that are
out there, and we're always

65994a83-1e72-4637-9272-7aafaccbd3a3-2
00:17:33.892 --> 00:17:37.227
updating them, but sometimes the
merchandise doesn't change all

65994a83-1e72-4637-9272-7aafaccbd3a3-3
00:17:37.227 --> 00:17:39.520
that much, so there's no need to
update it.

99e8fd6d-6594-47d6-8667-54dd3a8fb736-0
00:17:40.280 --> 00:17:41.800
But yeah, this is the ruling.

208dfa59-93ce-434e-a63d-20c858eeabf3-0
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:49.215
I'm sorry, this is the website
cvp.gov TRADE, trade rulings,

208dfa59-93ce-434e-a63d-20c858eeabf3-1
00:17:49.215 --> 00:17:52.880
informed compliance
publications.

0138ff0a-0dc8-4828-9e9f-ac7d6dbf72b1-0
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.560
So easy enough to find.

c361b6a1-560a-4311-aa3c-5f3e41e7f8c8-0
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.755
You can always reach out to us
if you're having trouble with

c361b6a1-560a-4311-aa3c-5f3e41e7f8c8-1
00:17:57.755 --> 00:18:00.080
them, but I think you'll, you'll
benefit from it.

705a25cb-00e3-4e46-b237-5261b0d03acb-0
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:04.976
So Speaking of benefits, now I
would like to turn it over to my

705a25cb-00e3-4e46-b237-5261b0d03acb-1
00:18:04.976 --> 00:18:09.625
division director, Stephen Mack,
who has, like I said, wonderful

705a25cb-00e3-4e46-b237-5261b0d03acb-2
00:18:09.625 --> 00:18:14.202
career of 30 plus years where he
really knows all the insurance

705a25cb-00e3-4e46-b237-5261b0d03acb-3
00:18:14.202 --> 00:18:18.707
and outs of customs and all the
benefits of the binding ruling

705a25cb-00e3-4e46-b237-5261b0d03acb-4
00:18:18.707 --> 00:18:19.279
process.

7a0b8049-0097-49eb-9606-1e3485986979-0
00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:23.680
So Steve, thanks, Denise.

d6e58115-759c-49dd-912c-a44e4e1a17a8-0
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.987
I'd like to say that all of
that's true, but I'm not so

d6e58115-759c-49dd-912c-a44e4e1a17a8-1
00:18:26.987 --> 00:18:27.240
sure.

b66e50f0-9da3-4542-b62e-823c5aefc934-0
00:18:27.760 --> 00:18:31.120
34 years in the government, 26
plus with Reg audit.

2f83c769-4aec-438a-b4d5-cd9f47ae8f1c-0
00:18:31.800 --> 00:18:32.440
Good morning.

9b50f489-3ba5-4e80-a62c-943b5edb329d-0
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.120
I'm the director of the National
Commodity Specialist division.

2e655b38-f0fb-4289-a558-926c17b901d4-0
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:45.240
Since Denise asked if you were
familiar with Cross, what I'd

2e655b38-f0fb-4289-a558-926c17b901d4-1
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:54.360
like to ask is if anyone has
submitted a binding ruling,

2e655b38-f0fb-4289-a558-926c17b901d4-2
00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:55.320
Great.

1ccc6490-658b-4d40-b343-77f84d4efcf1-0
00:18:55.320 --> 00:18:58.151
There's a lot of lot of yeses
out there, a lot of people who

1ccc6490-658b-4d40-b343-77f84d4efcf1-1
00:18:58.151 --> 00:18:59.080
haven't done it yet.

1b8df9ef-c20e-431a-811c-ebe9adc94cd8-0
00:18:59.800 --> 00:19:03.529
So I will say, you know, coming
from Reg audit, which was more

1b8df9ef-c20e-431a-811c-ebe9adc94cd8-1
00:19:03.529 --> 00:19:06.902
enforcement minded to the NCSD,
which is much more trade

1b8df9ef-c20e-431a-811c-ebe9adc94cd8-2
00:19:06.902 --> 00:19:10.039
facilitation, it's been a very
exciting move for me.

4dd84b99-c9c0-45ff-9c30-3e8927fe49df-0
00:19:10.280 --> 00:19:14.730
And the value of what we do here
can't be understated, especially

4dd84b99-c9c0-45ff-9c30-3e8927fe49df-1
00:19:14.730 --> 00:19:18.843
for I think smaller companies
who don't have these staff and

4dd84b99-c9c0-45ff-9c30-3e8927fe49df-2
00:19:18.843 --> 00:19:22.080
experience necessarily to
classify merchandise.

c734a464-7859-4826-b9b5-9dc4ac37d996-0
00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:23.240
It's really complicated.

40d84721-64b4-4576-be26-b6fa9348aa54-0
00:19:23.560 --> 00:19:27.667
So utilizing costs as many of
you do, super important and

40d84721-64b4-4576-be26-b6fa9348aa54-1
00:19:27.667 --> 00:19:31.987
asking for rulings when you're
not sure is really the way to

40d84721-64b4-4576-be26-b6fa9348aa54-2
00:19:31.987 --> 00:19:32.200
go.

ef69a6b9-dfaf-41fe-9132-2e95ff57736d-0
00:19:32.760 --> 00:19:36.440
When I was with audit, I would
visit many smaller companies and

ef69a6b9-dfaf-41fe-9132-2e95ff57736d-1
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:39.431
many companies weren't even
aware that the National

ef69a6b9-dfaf-41fe-9132-2e95ff57736d-2
00:19:39.431 --> 00:19:42.939
commodity specialist division or
binding ruling program even

ef69a6b9-dfaf-41fe-9132-2e95ff57736d-3
00:19:42.939 --> 00:19:43.400
existed.

518d0573-8c0f-417a-8f4e-5e02245fbad3-0
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.250
So I really do wish that we
could reach out to the there

518d0573-8c0f-417a-8f4e-5e02245fbad3-1
00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:51.304
must be 500,000 or so small
importers out there and many of

518d0573-8c0f-417a-8f4e-5e02245fbad3-2
00:19:51.304 --> 00:19:52.520
them aren't aware.

29d3565f-ec0e-4429-af16-f898520c953d-0
00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:56.663
So we really do want to reach
out to all of those companies

29d3565f-ec0e-4429-af16-f898520c953d-1
00:19:56.663 --> 00:19:59.080
and get them aware of the
program.

d5a714ce-84d0-48f2-8aec-03ce60545776-0
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:03.030
So the NCS CS main mission is to
facilitate lawful trade, and the

d5a714ce-84d0-48f2-8aec-03ce60545776-1
00:20:03.030 --> 00:20:06.549
primary way we do that is by
issuing binding rulings to the

d5a714ce-84d0-48f2-8aec-03ce60545776-2
00:20:06.549 --> 00:20:06.960
public.

53fc47dc-e122-4b8f-bdbc-6379a4679c29-0
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.265
Many of the largest importers in
the US utilize the binding

53fc47dc-e122-4b8f-bdbc-6379a4679c29-1
00:20:11.265 --> 00:20:14.053
ruling programs to ensure
they're importing their

53fc47dc-e122-4b8f-bdbc-6379a4679c29-2
00:20:14.053 --> 00:20:15.280
merchandise correctly.

978da99b-0fde-4df8-861f-c31730ef11c6-0
00:20:15.600 --> 00:20:20.629
And I think any small business
probably knows the CBP does a

978da99b-0fde-4df8-861f-c31730ef11c6-1
00:20:20.629 --> 00:20:25.000
pretty good job being relating
to its big customers.

59b79341-418e-4491-b729-e3681cfbe3c2-0
00:20:25.560 --> 00:20:28.000
Do we do as well with our small
company customers?

6ae0fc29-3dbb-436e-9ea0-a383e3f79016-0
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:28.840
Maybe not.

ea38a3df-dfb1-42da-a9b0-1f88b490d1ea-0
00:20:28.840 --> 00:20:31.680
Part of what we're doing here is
trying to make sure we are.

b9a3b010-054a-4036-85f9-a4700cda11ff-0
00:20:31.800 --> 00:20:34.240
So did he mention this?

acdefced-fd0a-4949-8bb2-7977142eb996-0
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.600
But I think I'll, I want to go
over it again just quickly.

864e0fd7-6079-40a0-934c-11606671f66e-0
00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:40.430
Once a ruling is issued, it
becomes binding on both parties,

864e0fd7-6079-40a0-934c-11606671f66e-1
00:20:40.430 --> 00:20:42.880
both the CVP and the requesting
party.

eca9d230-50f8-450b-8898-54282ead6a20-0
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.752
And that means that the
requesting party must enter its

eca9d230-50f8-450b-8898-54282ead6a20-1
00:20:46.752 --> 00:20:50.106
merchandise using the
determinations made in the

eca9d230-50f8-450b-8898-54282ead6a20-2
00:20:50.106 --> 00:20:52.160
ruling, even if they disagree.

c09bcbe3-852c-4936-bc44-e5a4b7b1229b-0
00:20:52.840 --> 00:20:57.184
And if you do disagree, you can
ask for a reconsideration from

c09bcbe3-852c-4936-bc44-e5a4b7b1229b-1
00:20:57.184 --> 00:20:58.840
our headquarters office.

fff63dc9-a5eb-4b4d-978d-a73ac9a322c1-0
00:20:59.280 --> 00:21:03.622
And CVP must honor the
determinations in the ruling,

fff63dc9-a5eb-4b4d-978d-a73ac9a322c1-1
00:21:03.622 --> 00:21:07.720
even if they're later determined
to be incorrect.

79f89261-cff3-4e8f-9aeb-326610fe5b28-0
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.420
So even if somebody in the field
would account, if you get a

79f89261-cff3-4e8f-9aeb-326610fe5b28-1
00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:14.287
ruling, it says that you
merchandise is classified one

79f89261-cff3-4e8f-9aeb-326610fe5b28-2
00:21:14.287 --> 00:21:17.676
way and an import specialist in
the field contaction says no, it

79f89261-cff3-4e8f-9aeb-326610fe5b28-3
00:21:17.676 --> 00:21:19.240
should be classified this way.

d848ae78-fbc9-46e2-ac40-24ec8911cf6d-0
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:24.992
The ruling from us protects you
against their determination

d848ae78-fbc9-46e2-ac40-24ec8911cf6d-1
00:21:24.992 --> 00:21:28.800
unless that ruling is modified
or revoked.

98e45f2f-9eeb-4b06-80ce-237e8d62a571-0
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:35.039
So I'll jump into what we have
here and what the benefits of a

98e45f2f-9eeb-4b06-80ce-237e8d62a571-1
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:36.800
binding ruling are.

2c5aac27-170c-4035-ba10-994e07cef274-0
00:21:37.040 --> 00:21:38.360
So there are many.

c484e0ed-0f80-47db-b9f1-52264e263f03-0
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:43.012
So the really right for most
importers, the real benefit is

c484e0ed-0f80-47db-b9f1-52264e263f03-1
00:21:43.012 --> 00:21:46.626
providing certainty in the
amount of duty before the

c484e0ed-0f80-47db-b9f1-52264e263f03-2
00:21:46.626 --> 00:21:48.400
merchandise enters the US.

50a1f29d-6e57-4c2c-a174-54edd4d4b2e5-0
00:21:49.040 --> 00:21:50.480
That is really key.

6491852d-6e60-44b7-96db-022810c999f9-0
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:53.400
So you don't have to worry about
later on an adjustment.

419d10bd-1d3a-4fde-b4a4-3be0a1d05e2a-0
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:57.491
You can price your goods and you
can be sure that the duty amount

419d10bd-1d3a-4fde-b4a4-3be0a1d05e2a-1
00:21:57.491 --> 00:21:58.120
is correct.

f887bfe3-f777-4595-8132-1f26a0d97f86-0
00:21:58.760 --> 00:22:03.475
And then the other thing here I
have is rulings are free and

f887bfe3-f777-4595-8132-1f26a0d97f86-1
00:22:03.475 --> 00:22:04.480
they're fast.

bdb7fc48-6310-4005-ab3e-949fe29854c5-0
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:09.514
So we generally speaking, we
issue rulings within 30 days of

bdb7fc48-6310-4005-ab3e-949fe29854c5-1
00:22:09.514 --> 00:22:10.080
receipt.

6d9ad547-3c2b-482a-bed9-0ca4e2ce32e6-0
00:22:11.320 --> 00:22:12.400
Next slide please.

3b0a18fe-9514-4c19-824f-7b60b20c4a7e-0
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.732
So again, really what the point
of a binding ruling is and trade

3b0a18fe-9514-4c19-824f-7b60b20c4a7e-1
00:22:18.732 --> 00:22:22.560
facilitation is, is trying to
stop things before they happen.

49175247-a9d9-4339-b835-738548dcc5fd-0
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.088
So we get, you get a binding
ruling and now you're safe and

49175247-a9d9-4339-b835-738548dcc5fd-1
00:22:27.088 --> 00:22:29.840
have this, there's no issue
afterwards.

7e1e1239-1c8c-4dad-95e1-3d94c55b67cb-0
00:22:30.520 --> 00:22:32.560
So you're good there.

c878bd36-8f8e-4f80-b7ff-e8b649e1758f-0
00:22:32.560 --> 00:22:34.600
They contain the tariff number
in the duty rate.

cfbfd24a-428a-4cc7-b24d-36874b349f3a-0
00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:39.032
They'll tell you if the
merchandise is subject to

cfbfd24a-428a-4cc7-b24d-36874b349f3a-1
00:22:39.032 --> 00:22:43.142
Section 2O1232 or three O 1
duties, which can be an

cfbfd24a-428a-4cc7-b24d-36874b349f3a-2
00:22:43.142 --> 00:22:45.040
additional 7 1/2 to 25%.

8ff73a7a-54e6-4137-905d-9ac13cc151df-0
00:22:45.800 --> 00:22:49.476
They can tell you if the
merchandise is exempt from those

8ff73a7a-54e6-4137-905d-9ac13cc151df-1
00:22:49.476 --> 00:22:49.920
duties.

0227a53e-ca28-4f2c-a350-215b02bb025f-0
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:53.520
Now in that case, you'll have to
ask us there.

fc8d6c77-92ec-47b5-947a-3a8bd9bedb96-0
00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:55.440
You'll say, look, I have this
merchandise.

14f605c8-7429-4c95-9888-c77e68f28a05-0
00:22:55.800 --> 00:22:58.360
I looked at all these exemptions
from three O 1.

8d71d576-ab94-41ca-a3f7-2cfa01313ca4-0
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:01.720
I think my merchandise falls
under that exemption.

e4c5fa3a-cda4-4518-97bb-687e52d7a908-0
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:03.840
Can you tell me if it does?

ca8cbcf3-f514-4cae-a2a6-0c85e808c0e8-0
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.044
And we will in the ruling will
tell you if we think it does or

ca8cbcf3-f514-4cae-a2a6-0c85e808c0e8-1
00:23:07.044 --> 00:23:07.240
not.

3d05001e-55b9-43d3-8f06-c2ec632a7706-0
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:08.400
Yeah.

0d7c3af0-f146-43df-bf62-20d032a59f1f-0
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.004
They'll tell you if your
merchandise may be subject to

0d7c3af0-f146-43df-bf62-20d032a59f1f-1
00:23:12.004 --> 00:23:14.560
anti dumping or counter valley
duties.

19f0bd80-3464-46ba-a34f-1351dcd713ab-0
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.946
I say may there because only the
Department of Commerce can

19f0bd80-3464-46ba-a34f-1351dcd713ab-1
00:23:18.946 --> 00:23:21.840
actually make a scope ruling
determination.

86baaa15-7ef6-497a-85f1-7e5642057522-0
00:23:22.280 --> 00:23:26.060
But if we're telling you that
they are or they may be, they

86baaa15-7ef6-497a-85f1-7e5642057522-1
00:23:26.060 --> 00:23:26.880
probably are.

893fa3f5-b6c3-4980-a959-9677408d2962-0
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:29.957
As Denise mentioned, we do
review that scope language

893fa3f5-b6c3-4980-a959-9677408d2962-1
00:23:29.957 --> 00:23:31.040
before it's issued.

0a4c3dc3-3ff0-4f6b-8b2c-f3186f4e885d-0
00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:35.411
So we have a a big, we have a
lot of knowledge of what happens

0a4c3dc3-3ff0-4f6b-8b2c-f3186f4e885d-1
00:23:35.411 --> 00:23:36.840
in those those orders.

0cf64d98-7411-43ff-adc7-d901b47067b8-0
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:40.743
And you know, again, I'll hit
this again, I'm going to say it

0cf64d98-7411-43ff-adc7-d901b47067b8-1
00:23:40.743 --> 00:23:41.400
a million times.

a4c13d7f-09c5-4172-ad26-f0c68fcc2181-0
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.741
But since you know the tariff
number and duty rate before the

a4c13d7f-09c5-4172-ad26-f0c68fcc2181-1
00:23:44.741 --> 00:23:47.976
merchandise is imported, you can
build your resale costs to

a4c13d7f-09c5-4172-ad26-f0c68fcc2181-2
00:23:47.976 --> 00:23:50.239
ensure they're adequate to make
a profit.

1f5fd2ef-1be2-450b-a191-98d87b4b477b-0
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.996
And you also may decide not to
import merchandise depending on

1f5fd2ef-1be2-450b-a191-98d87b4b477b-1
00:23:55.996 --> 00:23:57.280
the duty, right, right.

279a3252-b054-44d4-84e0-59fe241793d8-0
00:23:57.280 --> 00:24:00.978
You maybe you thought it was
going to be 5%, you get a ruling

279a3252-b054-44d4-84e0-59fe241793d8-1
00:24:00.978 --> 00:24:04.558
and it says, no, it's going to
be subject, it's going to be

279a3252-b054-44d4-84e0-59fe241793d8-2
00:24:04.558 --> 00:24:07.720
25%, it's going to be subject to
Section 3O1 duties.

73f2938f-80d0-4519-bf08-ffb868c39bec-0
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:09.040
I just can't import it.

2a361eec-547a-4bea-b207-15c078300d53-0
00:24:09.040 --> 00:24:09.800
I can't afford.

4661ec37-20b5-491e-ad6e-7ee253b51875-0
00:24:09.800 --> 00:24:12.640
There's no way I can sell it for
enough to make a profit.

bd19a128-007e-476d-95bb-a7cdfbdf78e6-0
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:16.722
So it really is about trying to
make sure that you as the

bd19a128-007e-476d-95bb-a7cdfbdf78e6-1
00:24:16.722 --> 00:24:20.525
importer know everything or as
much as you can before you

bd19a128-007e-476d-95bb-a7cdfbdf78e6-2
00:24:20.525 --> 00:24:21.640
import the goods.

ac384853-e0b1-423b-b7df-cf9bb06b2f16-0
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:23.800
Next slide, please.

79097ab6-4116-43ee-a85d-0f195570d893-0
00:24:27.320 --> 00:24:30.803
So also we can tell you the
country of origin, the goods if

79097ab6-4116-43ee-a85d-0f195570d893-1
00:24:30.803 --> 00:24:34.460
you changed production May when
3 section 3O1 duties came into

79097ab6-4116-43ee-a85d-0f195570d893-2
00:24:34.460 --> 00:24:37.654
place in 232 and two O 1, many
companies changed their

79097ab6-4116-43ee-a85d-0f195570d893-3
00:24:37.654 --> 00:24:40.847
production to different
countries or at least parts of

79097ab6-4116-43ee-a85d-0f195570d893-4
00:24:40.847 --> 00:24:44.156
it to different countries in
order to obtain a different

79097ab6-4116-43ee-a85d-0f195570d893-5
00:24:44.156 --> 00:24:45.840
country of origin than China.

34c4ca45-ac7a-4cc6-9e7e-676e494f159c-0
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:49.293
So if you want to know the
country of origin of your goods,

34c4ca45-ac7a-4cc6-9e7e-676e494f159c-1
00:24:49.293 --> 00:24:52.592
you can submit a ruling request
and you'll tell us how you make

34c4ca45-ac7a-4cc6-9e7e-676e494f159c-2
00:24:52.592 --> 00:24:55.480
goods and we'll tell you what
the country of origin is.

9fcf31eb-f535-4974-861d-b55c51dda6b7-0
00:24:55.800 --> 00:24:59.520
And again, that's goes back to,
you know, you're sure when you

9fcf31eb-f535-4974-861d-b55c51dda6b7-1
00:24:59.520 --> 00:25:02.000
enter your goods that the
merchandise is.

027f0572-dc5a-44ee-b991-dffa0eb7fa95-0
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.746
If you don't want to be China,
it's not China or it is China or

027f0572-dc5a-44ee-b991-dffa0eb7fa95-1
00:25:06.746 --> 00:25:08.640
it's wherever you are proposing.

a4768e5f-e270-4aa7-a6f8-390e9fefb327-0
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:13.063
And a lot of times we may not
give you the answer you want,

a4768e5f-e270-4aa7-a6f8-390e9fefb327-1
00:25:13.063 --> 00:25:17.440
but again, that's important to
know before you enter the goods.

ac3e7d3c-86c3-4263-b79b-c423b50e64f8-0
00:25:18.040 --> 00:25:22.406
Then afterwards when somebody
comes knocking on your door and

ac3e7d3c-86c3-4263-b79b-c423b50e64f8-1
00:25:22.406 --> 00:25:26.913
says, hey, all that merchandise
you entered, it's still subject

ac3e7d3c-86c3-4263-b79b-c423b50e64f8-2
00:25:26.913 --> 00:25:28.040
to these duties.

83950223-7443-4e01-82ca-7000232fd915-0
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:34.507
You know, before you go, I can
tell you if the merchandise

83950223-7443-4e01-82ca-7000232fd915-1
00:25:34.507 --> 00:25:39.335
qualifies for a free trade
program, we may, it may protect

83950223-7443-4e01-82ca-7000232fd915-2
00:25:39.335 --> 00:25:44.000
you from CBP enforcement actions
such as penalties here.

572736e9-80cb-429f-abe1-23f33079f62a-0
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:47.880
I'm going to tell you that it's
really, really important.

046d6da2-ef4a-4c00-baf5-9260ce0092f7-0
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:51.040
Then when you submit a ruling
request, it's accurate.

7d2a887c-bfd7-40ff-bfd3-569c3a388c13-0
00:25:51.600 --> 00:25:54.880
The ruling is based on the fact
set that you provide.

62474203-7d5f-4d4f-8f86-0b792451b030-0
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:58.664
So if that facts I said is not
correct, that means the

62474203-7d5f-4d4f-8f86-0b792451b030-1
00:25:58.664 --> 00:26:02.759
determination we made was based
on a different fact set than its

62474203-7d5f-4d4f-8f86-0b792451b030-2
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:03.200
actual.

a61bb1a0-1de1-4548-b917-80febf9553cc-0
00:26:03.560 --> 00:26:07.786
And so the ruling won't apply if
you didn't give us the right

a61bb1a0-1de1-4548-b917-80febf9553cc-1
00:26:07.786 --> 00:26:08.400
fact set.

254e91cf-7f5d-443d-a6eb-c469f61b6c34-0
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.036
So that's very important to
know, very, very, very

254e91cf-7f5d-443d-a6eb-c469f61b6c34-1
00:26:12.036 --> 00:26:12.640
important.

182e1b1f-5127-4706-824c-b37e367e3311-0
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:16.179
And a lot of times when we get a
ruling request, we do send it

182e1b1f-5127-4706-824c-b37e367e3311-1
00:26:16.179 --> 00:26:19.550
back to the company and ask For
more information because we

182e1b1f-5127-4706-824c-b37e367e3311-2
00:26:19.550 --> 00:26:22.360
don't feel it's complete to make
a determination.

90608e32-819a-4dfe-ac99-e657d1fe30dc-0
00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:26.502
And then you see here, I said
again, it will help you build

90608e32-819a-4dfe-ac99-e657d1fe30dc-1
00:26:26.502 --> 00:26:30.231
your resale cost to ensure
they're adequate to make a

90608e32-819a-4dfe-ac99-e657d1fe30dc-2
00:26:30.231 --> 00:26:33.959
profit because they're obtained
prior to importation.

c05eee13-aa3b-4bae-8a79-0e767f44310d-0
00:26:34.560 --> 00:26:35.560
Next slide, please.

ce9b34dd-d587-4b5e-a42f-736ccd182890-0
00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:40.943
And here are some pitfalls,
potential pitfalls of not

ce9b34dd-d587-4b5e-a42f-736ccd182890-1
00:26:40.943 --> 00:26:42.120
obtaining a ruling.

4b21d85e-3c69-4249-b459-9f59a39fc41c-0
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:46.920
You may owe additional duty if
the incorrect tariff numbers

4b21d85e-3c69-4249-b459-9f59a39fc41c-1
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:51.540
used I mentioned before, as much
as 25% of your merchant can duty

4b21d85e-3c69-4249-b459-9f59a39fc41c-2
00:26:51.540 --> 00:26:55.530
can be added to the merchandise
if it's subject to trade

4b21d85e-3c69-4249-b459-9f59a39fc41c-3
00:26:55.530 --> 00:26:56.160
remedies.

bbc9b951-0489-43bd-b741-3a695b2e5f64-0
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.264
So if you already have
merchandise that's 20 or 30%

bbc9b951-0489-43bd-b741-3a695b2e5f64-1
00:26:59.264 --> 00:27:02.965
duty rate, you may have to add
another 25% if it's subject to

bbc9b951-0489-43bd-b741-3a695b2e5f64-2
00:27:02.965 --> 00:27:04.160
trade remedy duties.

c0c47006-6890-463d-809d-1076dda804f9-0
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:10.890
Again, it may be subject to anti
dumping and CVD and those rates

c0c47006-6890-463d-809d-1076dda804f9-1
00:27:10.890 --> 00:27:12.640
can be well over 100%.

37486784-98f3-472a-95c2-128062faf239-0
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.480
So you need to know before you
enter the guts.

71d12560-c671-44eb-9efb-9dd327193dd1-0
00:27:18.280 --> 00:27:22.683
There can be penalties depending
on if who finds the violation

71d12560-c671-44eb-9efb-9dd327193dd1-1
00:27:22.683 --> 00:27:25.200
and how extensive the violation
is.

5b4b8f0b-12d2-4f36-8002-50ec92cc4abf-0
00:27:25.560 --> 00:27:30.001
And of course, the last thing is
if you are, you know, if you get

5b4b8f0b-12d2-4f36-8002-50ec92cc4abf-1
00:27:30.001 --> 00:27:34.375
notifications from CBP, you may
decide you want to hire a lawyer

5b4b8f0b-12d2-4f36-8002-50ec92cc4abf-2
00:27:34.375 --> 00:27:37.000
and there will be legal fees
incurred.

671e49c7-b2dc-4308-8327-a5f64a37ee0e-0
00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:41.499
And anybody who's been involved
in any CBP action or audit

671e49c7-b2dc-4308-8327-a5f64a37ee0e-1
00:27:41.499 --> 00:27:45.920
certainly knows that legal fees
can add up very, very quickly.

b0b7b81e-d253-42c6-aefd-2ab1441da780-0
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:53.040
So again, know before you enter
the goods and next slide.

a6b1675b-87ee-4153-b3bb-d7eed3434ebe-0
00:27:54.120 --> 00:27:58.733
So the classification of goods
is complicated, especially when

a6b1675b-87ee-4153-b3bb-d7eed3434ebe-1
00:27:58.733 --> 00:28:02.981
Section 2O1232 or three O 1
trade remedy and ATCVD duties

a6b1675b-87ee-4153-b3bb-d7eed3434ebe-2
00:28:02.981 --> 00:28:04.080
are considered.

59173022-335a-4426-a2c8-b989440eaa0f-0
00:28:04.760 --> 00:28:08.832
Obtaining a binding ruling is
one way to alleviate the stress

59173022-335a-4426-a2c8-b989440eaa0f-1
00:28:08.832 --> 00:28:10.080
of importing goods.

1508177a-3232-4241-a3ab-0919822b5131-0
00:28:10.520 --> 00:28:13.638
It shows reasonable care and
provides cost certainty for

1508177a-3232-4241-a3ab-0919822b5131-1
00:28:13.638 --> 00:28:15.280
those who utilize the program.

61c399ee-3862-42a5-b832-36015357dc85-0
00:28:16.120 --> 00:28:19.663
So now I'm going to turn the
program over to Branch Chief

61c399ee-3862-42a5-b832-36015357dc85-1
00:28:19.663 --> 00:28:23.146
James Forkin, who's going to
demonstrate how to submit a

61c399ee-3862-42a5-b832-36015357dc85-2
00:28:23.146 --> 00:28:25.040
ruling request using E rulings.

a36a6e3e-f002-41fc-bab6-c0bc7b4139c2-0
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:31.560
Good morning, everybody, and
thank you for joining us today.

e22c4e00-aa23-4e5f-a1ec-92404604e5c8-0
00:28:31.560 --> 00:28:34.680
I want to thank you, Steve for
and Denise.

ea852635-a7a3-4857-bdad-d1e958755565-0
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:38.641
You guys gave a really good
summary of what our division

ea852635-a7a3-4857-bdad-d1e958755565-1
00:28:38.641 --> 00:28:41.160
does and the benefits of
requesting a binding room.

b9519a4f-1b0a-48d3-ba2f-6cde6502bf06-0
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:43.280
So I'm Jim Forcan.

d28d3c4b-78da-4051-af37-c647d1986420-0
00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:46.310
I am a branch chief, as Denise
mentioned earlier of the

d28d3c4b-78da-4051-af37-c647d1986420-1
00:28:46.310 --> 00:28:49.449
electronics, automotive,
aerospace, textiles and footwear

d28d3c4b-78da-4051-af37-c647d1986420-2
00:28:49.449 --> 00:28:49.719
NISS.

b24c2023-8e64-484d-9dcc-2de9792b3165-0
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:54.987
So pretty busy branch and we get
a lot of the issues that both

b24c2023-8e64-484d-9dcc-2de9792b3165-1
00:28:54.987 --> 00:28:57.480
Steve and Denise were just
mentioning.

bf5283a4-be2f-482c-8561-e19ea6d5d9fb-0
00:28:58.520 --> 00:29:01.403
So today I'm going to provide a
live demonstration of submitting

bf5283a4-be2f-482c-8561-e19ea6d5d9fb-1
00:29:01.403 --> 00:29:03.400
a binding ruling through our E
Ruins portal.

a44565f9-0fa6-49a4-8a95-5222dc032bf0-0
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.069
And while the E Ruins portal has
been around for a number of

a44565f9-0fa6-49a4-8a95-5222dc032bf0-1
00:29:07.069 --> 00:29:10.189
years to bring a significant
number of updates to it recently

a44565f9-0fa6-49a4-8a95-5222dc032bf0-2
00:29:10.189 --> 00:29:11.800
to enhance our users experience.

db82fe86-68ac-4e51-af15-db93bf7db09c-0
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.870
I hope to show you how simple it
is to navigate the site and how

db82fe86-68ac-4e51-af15-db93bf7db09c-1
00:29:15.870 --> 00:29:18.816
in a few short minutes, you can
then submit a ruling to our

db82fe86-68ac-4e51-af15-db93bf7db09c-2
00:29:18.816 --> 00:29:19.160
office.

71db648a-84aa-4422-8931-b8ce32059e29-0
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.965
But before I jump into the demo,
I wanted to point out that our

71db648a-84aa-4422-8931-b8ce32059e29-1
00:29:22.965 --> 00:29:25.520
trade stakeholders have embraced
the E Ruins Portal.

6c258ff7-623f-4c0b-858b-1ed1874677b9-0
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:26.680
Can you use next slide?

3c135a4d-291a-407f-94fe-f9fae09a8266-0
00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:32.216
As you can see from the chart,
the percentage of requests that

3c135a4d-291a-407f-94fe-f9fae09a8266-1
00:29:32.216 --> 00:29:35.379
we've received electronically
versus paper submissions has

3c135a4d-291a-407f-94fe-f9fae09a8266-2
00:29:35.379 --> 00:29:38.863
risen dramatically since fiscal
year 19 and that's October 2019,

3c135a4d-291a-407f-94fe-f9fae09a8266-3
00:29:38.863 --> 00:29:39.560
pre pandemic.

b6eceb9a-519e-4261-b4fd-61aaeb031a21-0
00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:43.680
By March 2020, the pandemic was
in full swing and luckily our

b6eceb9a-519e-4261-b4fd-61aaeb031a21-1
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.108
foresight in modernizing our E
ruling system let's us let us to

b6eceb9a-519e-4261-b4fd-61aaeb031a21-2
00:29:47.108 --> 00:29:49.680
be well positioned for the
pandemic and beyond.

03ff04b1-2d38-4b04-ada0-6c7b46ebcee0-0
00:29:50.760 --> 00:29:55.056
We've seen an increase reliance
on the E Ruins portal going from

03ff04b1-2d38-4b04-ada0-6c7b46ebcee0-1
00:29:55.056 --> 00:29:59.088
70% back in 29th fiscal year
2019 to approximately 91% these

03ff04b1-2d38-4b04-ada0-6c7b46ebcee0-2
00:29:59.088 --> 00:30:00.080
last two years.

1a772c1a-9ef5-4807-94af-1a228a1bc266-0
00:30:00.560 --> 00:30:02.679
And with the hope of these
outreaches that we're doing

1a772c1a-9ef5-4807-94af-1a228a1bc266-1
00:30:02.679 --> 00:30:04.760
today, we hope to increase that
percentage even more.

f77a6e14-cfb0-4375-b3b0-10e09d25f233-0
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:05.960
Next slide.

d43f1511-16c4-42df-a560-2dd2e9dbff09-0
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:11.234
So what good is getting to the E
Ruins if you don't know where it

d43f1511-16c4-42df-a560-2dd2e9dbff09-1
00:30:11.234 --> 00:30:11.360
is?

ba974441-9029-4933-8dd6-9d55265c85d5-0
00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:17.011
So this slide here tells you the
location, our web address

ba974441-9029-4933-8dd6-9d55265c85d5-1
00:30:17.011 --> 00:30:18.640
eruins.cvp.gov/S.

aa095d59-ba1c-43e2-bf67-2c9d1d2125eb-0
00:30:20.280 --> 00:30:24.171
So that is the location and
we're going to have that copied

aa095d59-ba1c-43e2-bf67-2c9d1d2125eb-1
00:30:24.171 --> 00:30:25.080
into the chat.

9509cb51-093d-47aa-9d1a-742bf8b77fde-0
00:30:25.080 --> 00:30:28.328
So that way you'll be able to
copy and paste it from there

9509cb51-093d-47aa-9d1a-742bf8b77fde-1
00:30:28.328 --> 00:30:29.320
into your browser.

36051cc5-b7e0-4cd0-bb80-5c93fd4b622d-0
00:30:30.280 --> 00:30:30.920
Next slide.

d073252e-5ef6-4dfd-8656-44e6d0ed3c9c-0
00:30:32.080 --> 00:30:34.260
But obviously there's always a
couple other ways with

d073252e-5ef6-4dfd-8656-44e6d0ed3c9c-1
00:30:34.260 --> 00:30:36.240
computers, right, to get around
on the Internet.

d042c9eb-b764-4157-aedc-20f524b52ac5-0
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:42.102
So the first way that you could
locate the E1's portal is go to

d042c9eb-b764-4157-aedc-20f524b52ac5-1
00:30:42.102 --> 00:30:44.560
our our own website, cbp.gov.

e4ff6df6-445b-4c50-9027-5904d4b25036-0
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:50.621
At the top of the screen up here
at the top right, you'll see the

e4ff6df6-445b-4c50-9027-5904d4b25036-1
00:30:50.621 --> 00:30:51.400
E rulings.

faad48c3-8a0a-4579-975c-2fd5757e254f-0
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.034
You see the search bar where you
could just type in E rulings,

faad48c3-8a0a-4579-975c-2fd5757e254f-1
00:30:56.034 --> 00:30:59.335
the search and the 1st result
would be our E rulings template

faad48c3-8a0a-4579-975c-2fd5757e254f-2
00:30:59.335 --> 00:31:00.720
right there at the bottom.

eed0e873-d83d-4465-aa48-206cd25b8638-0
00:31:01.560 --> 00:31:02.160
Next slide.

25ab52d7-c3a3-4d10-a452-e3f3045b98c2-0
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:06.690
And obviously probably most
common way people search for

25ab52d7-c3a3-4d10-a452-e3f3045b98c2-1
00:31:06.690 --> 00:31:08.320
things on the Internet is
Google.

4d23167b-6d2e-49ef-94d1-eb768835b233-0
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:12.831
So you can use Google or any
other search engine type in CVP

4d23167b-6d2e-49ef-94d1-eb768835b233-1
00:31:12.831 --> 00:31:16.852
E rulings and you should get the
E rulings template, our portal

4d23167b-6d2e-49ef-94d1-eb768835b233-2
00:31:16.852 --> 00:31:17.920
right at the top.

42cc7ee9-18b7-4741-bbcc-03bf68ab00bf-0
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:23.124
So now that you know how to get
to the to the website, I'm going

42cc7ee9-18b7-4741-bbcc-03bf68ab00bf-1
00:31:23.124 --> 00:31:25.880
to now start and jump right into
the demo.

471d4a43-5bdb-47cf-8871-b4c70c5a20da-0
00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:27.760
Just give me a second.

7f427803-b245-4388-9a0d-7cf7899c6df3-0
00:31:33.560 --> 00:31:37.320
OK, OK.

89604ee1-3de8-4ca1-980e-fc26a3578274-0
00:31:37.320 --> 00:31:41.840
Hopefully everyone is give it a
second or two to to load.

1c3f1ab1-ff9f-4776-aee3-c058069145e3-0
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:47.080
You should be seeing right now
our E rulings template.

839b47af-ac3a-4dc9-96e8-b634dd7da6c5-0
00:31:47.080 --> 00:31:50.391
This is our portal landing page,
our home screen for our E

839b47af-ac3a-4dc9-96e8-b634dd7da6c5-1
00:31:50.391 --> 00:31:50.840
rulings.

5179beb4-dba3-445c-9e88-200823aa40e8-0
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.720
So this gives you a little bit
of information.

f3c66d61-4dc2-4831-85f9-340697808cf0-0
00:31:55.760 --> 00:31:57.600
You might please feel free to
read it.

7af21196-e06d-45c3-8e8a-00da61647eb7-0
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.029
There is a hyperlink on here
that states the requirements for

7af21196-e06d-45c3-8e8a-00da61647eb7-1
00:32:01.029 --> 00:32:02.960
submitting electronic ruling
request.

e7d209fc-846b-4627-bd3f-f13ed4edd83c-0
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:06.320
So that gives you a lot of
information there as well.

b5933266-c4d8-4cd2-bb65-3ed90c235cec-0
00:32:06.840 --> 00:32:11.838
And we also encourage you to
review the, the E rulings, I'm

b5933266-c4d8-4cd2-bb65-3ed90c235cec-1
00:32:11.838 --> 00:32:16.420
sorry, to review the customs
regulations pertaining to

b5933266-c4d8-4cd2-bb65-3ed90c235cec-2
00:32:16.420 --> 00:32:19.920
binding rulings, specifically 19
CFR 177.

2439a2f7-34e9-4bd5-a698-95defc3a0b46-0
00:32:20.560 --> 00:32:23.995
So hopefully you can know
anything you wanted to know

2439a2f7-34e9-4bd5-a698-95defc3a0b46-1
00:32:23.995 --> 00:32:27.240
about requirements when
submitting a binding rule.

c23d0831-f94a-4c12-9370-f4d9b6ccef04-0
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:32.843
So right here to get started,
you would click on the Begin

c23d0831-f94a-4c12-9370-f4d9b6ccef04-1
00:32:32.843 --> 00:32:37.545
application and that brings you
to the first screen as you can

c23d0831-f94a-4c12-9370-f4d9b6ccef04-2
00:32:37.545 --> 00:32:42.247
take a look at the top of the
the top of the screen, there are

c23d0831-f94a-4c12-9370-f4d9b6ccef04-3
00:32:42.247 --> 00:32:46.799
6 circles representing 6 steps
to complete a binding ruling.

323b2abc-e4ef-4d7b-b719-d35235e34f00-0
00:32:46.800 --> 00:32:50.950
But before I get started, I
wanted to just give you a little

323b2abc-e4ef-4d7b-b719-d35235e34f00-1
00:32:50.950 --> 00:32:54.760
tip over here before before you
we get started with it.

4068faa3-52d4-4f72-9669-fa842ae0e64d-0
00:32:54.760 --> 00:32:59.107
So once you start typing into
the, you know, into this form,

4068faa3-52d4-4f72-9669-fa842ae0e64d-1
00:32:59.107 --> 00:33:02.600
there's a there's really two
ways to get around.

564eea32-645f-4465-a0a0-f3f692cce4b5-0
00:33:02.600 --> 00:33:07.230
You can click on any of the
bubbles at the top there to get

564eea32-645f-4465-a0a0-f3f692cce4b5-1
00:33:07.230 --> 00:33:09.160
to that specific section.

ca90a8cb-d541-4955-9a19-638221a28906-0
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:15.074
Or you click on the on the
bottom right, you'll go next or

ca90a8cb-d541-4955-9a19-638221a28906-1
00:33:15.074 --> 00:33:20.102
previous and you'll see, you
know as as you'll get a a

ca90a8cb-d541-4955-9a19-638221a28906-2
00:33:20.102 --> 00:33:23.760
warning if you are missing
information.

d2af4795-169a-41f6-b08d-60d64139d48b-0
00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:28.979
But what I wanted to point out
is that if you use the browser

d2af4795-169a-41f6-b08d-60d64139d48b-1
00:33:28.979 --> 00:33:33.368
back button, you lose all
progress with filling out the

d2af4795-169a-41f6-b08d-60d64139d48b-2
00:33:33.368 --> 00:33:33.760
site.

07d67214-4440-4639-b3fd-54dff816c2fc-0
00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:35.320
As you can see, it brings you
back to the start.

7a1a53e9-2f22-41b1-a47c-99dd8ea4c4d8-0
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.464
So I just wanted to show you
that so that way you don't make

7a1a53e9-2f22-41b1-a47c-99dd8ea4c4d8-1
00:33:39.464 --> 00:33:42.280
that mistake once you're
actually in the system.

7f397bd4-0038-4769-a17e-cb0884672eb3-0
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:45.000
Excuse me.

36085209-6c05-4201-b59c-0d4218169894-0
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:54.920
So now you can see here I have
this is our first step.

442fa14e-6e68-4be2-9574-1302b9c72f2a-0
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.440
I'm going to go through each of
the steps and individually here.

4c3e9998-e180-4d70-9761-fb47b7b0594f-0
00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:59.800
So we hit begin application
brings us here.

9e71d242-c7c3-49da-b933-092a7749de3a-0
00:33:59.800 --> 00:34:02.823
So the first screen is requested
information, which is very

9e71d242-c7c3-49da-b933-092a7749de3a-1
00:34:02.823 --> 00:34:03.680
self-explanatory.

161d9d1e-fb26-498f-892b-3041081a62fc-0
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.849
You put in your information your
company's address, mailing

161d9d1e-fb26-498f-892b-3041081a62fc-1
00:34:07.849 --> 00:34:11.880
address, phone number, and
probably most importantly here

161d9d1e-fb26-498f-892b-3041081a62fc-2
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:15.910
is your e-mail address, because
the e-mail address is the

161d9d1e-fb26-498f-892b-3041081a62fc-3
00:34:15.910 --> 00:34:18.760
primary means of communicating
with you.

652b2ade-a580-4efe-9645-9c1001331971-0
00:34:19.240 --> 00:34:21.660
Whether it's once you submit
this request, you're going to

652b2ade-a580-4efe-9645-9c1001331971-1
00:34:21.660 --> 00:34:22.440
get a confirmation.

cdbb51e1-b13b-4d38-add2-8233e867c1d2-0
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:26.584
If there's any questions that
arise during the process, our

cdbb51e1-b13b-4d38-add2-8233e867c1d2-1
00:34:26.584 --> 00:34:29.080
CIE group may reach out to you
as well.

5369b579-dc9b-494c-96ab-367a9f94a15b-0
00:34:30.040 --> 00:34:32.934
And what's more likely than not,
if there's additional

5369b579-dc9b-494c-96ab-367a9f94a15b-1
00:34:32.934 --> 00:34:36.040
information that is needed, the
NIS will reach out to you.

e5701606-725c-4585-801b-413e426f36e9-0
00:34:36.120 --> 00:34:39.539
And again, this is the primary
means of communication,

e5701606-725c-4585-801b-413e426f36e9-1
00:34:39.539 --> 00:34:42.400
particularly in the beginning of
the process.

c550247b-1d77-4910-ba48-f03acb73d5a6-0
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:49.226
As you can see here, if you did
type your e-mail address twice

c550247b-1d77-4910-ba48-f03acb73d5a6-1
00:34:49.226 --> 00:34:52.520
and maybe you left out a digit,
you'll do.

77b73e73-de27-43a2-94bc-0d8e89e21c0e-0
00:34:52.560 --> 00:34:57.206
You'll get a warning that the
e-mail does not match, so that

77b73e73-de27-43a2-94bc-0d8e89e21c0e-1
00:34:57.206 --> 00:35:01.853
at least there's some fail safes
within the system, which is

77b73e73-de27-43a2-94bc-0d8e89e21c0e-2
00:35:01.853 --> 00:35:02.920
quite helpful.

120a5797-5416-47c7-a0fb-49681278676b-0
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.534
However, it doesn't account for
if you type your e-mail address

120a5797-5416-47c7-a0fb-49681278676b-1
00:35:06.534 --> 00:35:07.040
wrong twice.

051dba8e-b7a0-449d-9ca7-4d28a5c24395-0
00:35:07.040 --> 00:35:10.831
So that is another issue and
I'll address that a little bit

051dba8e-b7a0-449d-9ca7-4d28a5c24395-1
00:35:10.831 --> 00:35:11.400
later on.

eb912eed-be71-405a-8091-4c3a20742b2f-0
00:35:14.040 --> 00:35:15.840
So we're going to go to the next
screen here.

d9465225-a2cd-4435-b4c5-90ea1d00d75f-0
00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:19.430
And as you can see, the first
one, if everything was entered

d9465225-a2cd-4435-b4c5-90ea1d00d75f-1
00:35:19.430 --> 00:35:22.516
in, entered correctly on it,
you're going to get the green

d9465225-a2cd-4435-b4c5-90ea1d00d75f-2
00:35:22.516 --> 00:35:23.039
check box.

8f301699-673d-48f2-bcd1-c3ff17cf41c3-0
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:26.560
So now we're on Step 2 for the
type.

5d4ce6b4-a4a1-4c0c-aca2-11d78a56fd1a-0
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.556
And as you can see here, and
it's pretty straightforward,

5d4ce6b4-a4a1-4c0c-aca2-11d78a56fd1a-1
00:35:29.556 --> 00:35:30.720
select the type of ruling.

906508d9-1211-43a1-90c4-dce31441076a-0
00:35:30.720 --> 00:35:34.200
So you have what choices,
classification, marking country

906508d9-1211-43a1-90c4-dce31441076a-1
00:35:34.200 --> 00:35:37.320
of origin or application of
trade programs or trade

906508d9-1211-43a1-90c4-dce31441076a-2
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:37.920
agreement.

fc8d92ea-b112-4e80-8e90-5dc977627b81-0
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.184
Please disregard the drawback
classification as that is no

fc8d92ea-b112-4e80-8e90-5dc977627b81-1
00:35:42.184 --> 00:35:43.200
longer relevant.

a050a087-604a-4db8-a9f9-beb1ace62dd4-0
00:35:43.200 --> 00:35:45.280
It will be removed in an
upcoming update.

48a508ec-4406-43ad-a1c5-cda31f61dad0-0
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.832
So we're going to click on
classification, and we're going

48a508ec-4406-43ad-a1c5-cda31f61dad0-1
00:35:48.832 --> 00:35:50.320
to go Click to the next screen.

95be879e-6184-440d-b3b0-907d7ed5c4d5-0
00:35:51.560 --> 00:35:53.000
That brings us to Step 3.

781876b7-4b20-4dc7-9767-a19e9d5475fc-0
00:35:53.680 --> 00:35:57.259
And on step three, there are 6
questions within this section,

781876b7-4b20-4dc7-9767-a19e9d5475fc-1
00:35:57.259 --> 00:35:59.280
and I'll go over each one of
them.

41143ddc-9a52-48ca-87fb-97cd579d1b08-0
00:35:59.680 --> 00:36:02.928
So the first one here is the
request being filed on behalf of

41143ddc-9a52-48ca-87fb-97cd579d1b08-1
00:36:02.928 --> 00:36:03.400
a client.

5d47974e-3baa-4fc5-a834-212a6161055a-0
00:36:04.200 --> 00:36:07.860
So if you are the company and
you're submitting your request,

5d47974e-3baa-4fc5-a834-212a6161055a-1
00:36:07.860 --> 00:36:09.160
obviously we click no.

1f5a914a-7e45-4969-998b-3dc161f1a015-0
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:14.798
However, if if the request is
being initiated by a broker or

1f5a914a-7e45-4969-998b-3dc161f1a015-1
00:36:14.798 --> 00:36:20.284
or an attorney, they would click
yes and they would type your

1f5a914a-7e45-4969-998b-3dc161f1a015-2
00:36:20.284 --> 00:36:22.320
company's name in here.

fe0fdeb9-b4ae-44e4-9171-98fb3314a70a-0
00:36:23.560 --> 00:36:27.080
For the sake of this demo, we're
just going to click no.

da84d74c-f319-4e6a-a043-7795dcb6d5c8-0
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:29.600
Which brings us to our second
question.

a68f037a-131d-4898-b850-67093cd800a7-0
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:32.840
Is your company a trade
compliance partner?

97cf0706-5df7-427c-83a9-b16c6018c8c2-0
00:36:33.720 --> 00:36:37.321
So one of the benefits of being
the trade compliance partner

97cf0706-5df7-427c-83a9-b16c6018c8c2-1
00:36:37.321 --> 00:36:41.040
with reference to our binding
rolling program is that there is

97cf0706-5df7-427c-83a9-b16c6018c8c2-2
00:36:41.040 --> 00:36:44.760
a 20 day turn around instead of
our normal 30 day turn around.

2be7ca6a-5797-4f23-975d-d295bf662ab1-0
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:49.191
However, in order to qualify for
this benefit, you must be CT PET

00:36:52.638 --> 00:36:55.970
Program with an approved
memorandum of understanding with

2be7ca6a-5797-4f23-975d-d295bf662ab1-3
00:36:55.970 --> 00:36:56.200
CBP.

09c67769-2dd8-4796-a57b-1561d03db193-0
00:36:57.040 --> 00:37:00.016
Now, this program is normally
reserved for the largest

09c67769-2dd8-4796-a57b-1561d03db193-1
00:37:00.016 --> 00:37:00.720
corporations.

45258b08-07cf-44ce-993a-a31e78b2b0c6-0
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:07.575
It's very document and document
intensive as CBP has to examine

45258b08-07cf-44ce-993a-a31e78b2b0c6-1
00:37:07.575 --> 00:37:10.120
aspects of your supply chain.

e78666f2-c1f3-411f-a6f1-1aa68f3331d4-0
00:37:10.560 --> 00:37:12.817
So generally for small
businesses, it may not be worth

e78666f2-c1f3-411f-a6f1-1aa68f3331d4-1
00:37:12.817 --> 00:37:13.720
it to become a member.

0e826567-8af2-4f17-9c26-e5b7b463c0bf-0
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:20.089
However, Sandra, you can please
paste a link that we have to the

0e826567-8af2-4f17-9c26-e5b7b463c0bf-1
00:37:20.089 --> 00:37:20.440
CBP.

4281ae35-8f05-4c9f-a07b-4004b5ee0d52-0
00:37:21.080 --> 00:37:23.000
It's ACT PAD Trade Compliance
program.

787bdf54-9a5a-4e96-9997-e1ba8cf11a4e-0
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:25.674
So if you want to read up on it
and it's something that

787bdf54-9a5a-4e96-9997-e1ba8cf11a4e-1
00:37:25.674 --> 00:37:28.778
interests you, you can have the
information there for you if you

787bdf54-9a5a-4e96-9997-e1ba8cf11a4e-2
00:37:28.778 --> 00:37:30.879
do happen to be a trade
compliance partner.

49d24cd6-06e0-4aec-a061-5475c2036ee7-0
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:35.336
If you click yes, you are asked
to input your importer a record

49d24cd6-06e0-4aec-a061-5475c2036ee7-1
00:37:35.336 --> 00:37:39.171
number, which is our, which is
your unique identifier assigned

49d24cd6-06e0-4aec-a061-5475c2036ee7-2
00:37:39.171 --> 00:37:42.763
by CBP and it links you as the
responsible party with your

49d24cd6-06e0-4aec-a061-5475c2036ee7-3
00:37:42.763 --> 00:37:43.920
shipment for goods.

ab32eb70-ff42-4f54-96b7-69bae0542dbc-0
00:37:44.720 --> 00:37:47.598
So for this particular one,
we're just going to click no and

ab32eb70-ff42-4f54-96b7-69bae0542dbc-1
00:37:47.598 --> 00:37:48.920
go down to the number three.

aa53b378-7b10-48be-9620-2e2fb7ba4818-0
00:37:49.560 --> 00:37:52.614
To your knowledge, are there any
issues or requests for advice

aa53b378-7b10-48be-9620-2e2fb7ba4818-1
00:37:52.614 --> 00:37:55.475
concerning this commodity
pending before any CBP office or

aa53b378-7b10-48be-9620-2e2fb7ba4818-2
00:37:55.475 --> 00:37:55.960
any court?

72ec58b0-3c8b-49ae-894f-67766d52d86f-0
00:37:57.080 --> 00:38:00.036
So this provides you the
opportunity to tell us if you're

72ec58b0-3c8b-49ae-894f-67766d52d86f-1
00:38:00.036 --> 00:38:02.789
if you've discussed this issue
or product that you're

72ec58b0-3c8b-49ae-894f-67766d52d86f-2
00:38:02.789 --> 00:38:05.440
requesting a binding ruling on
with any CBP office.

07a17dfb-2623-499e-a604-662244e7ca43-0
00:38:05.520 --> 00:38:08.285
And that includes the see the
Centers of excellence of of

07a17dfb-2623-499e-a604-662244e7ca43-1
00:38:08.285 --> 00:38:10.240
expertise for your particular
commodity.

a7e8bd54-4984-4357-85c2-b2b487eeb320-0
00:38:11.560 --> 00:38:15.522
If you've received the CFCBP
Form 28 or 29 on the issue as

a7e8bd54-4984-4357-85c2-b2b487eeb320-1
00:38:15.522 --> 00:38:19.417
well, whether there is protest
pending on this particular

a7e8bd54-4984-4357-85c2-b2b487eeb320-2
00:38:19.417 --> 00:38:22.439
product or if the issue is
before the court.

48dfbb78-6ee5-4e3b-9f1f-f1d0dfa69055-0
00:38:22.600 --> 00:38:27.840
So if you did select, yes, we
would want an explanation here.

1dfd9098-08e3-4f30-90df-4c0a69ab80a8-0
00:38:30.040 --> 00:38:33.773
And in some cases, you know that
you as a member of the trade,

1dfd9098-08e3-4f30-90df-4c0a69ab80a8-1
00:38:33.773 --> 00:38:37.625
reach out to the the sea import
specialist and ask them for some

1dfd9098-08e3-4f30-90df-4c0a69ab80a8-2
00:38:37.625 --> 00:38:38.040
advice.

71ef6f4d-decc-4127-9ca3-b643c6bcf777-0
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:43.452
In some cases they'll give you
what is I guess considered to be

71ef6f4d-decc-4127-9ca3-b643c6bcf777-1
00:38:43.452 --> 00:38:47.480
just a preliminary and they they
will tell you to submit for a

71ef6f4d-decc-4127-9ca3-b643c6bcf777-2
00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:48.440
binding ruling.

a8a4ec11-b025-48db-b5bf-c5fc768e2d68-0
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:51.829
So that would be something in
here that you would be able to

a8a4ec11-b025-48db-b5bf-c5fc768e2d68-1
00:38:51.829 --> 00:38:54.886
write and that would not
preclude you from receiving a

a8a4ec11-b025-48db-b5bf-c5fc768e2d68-2
00:38:54.886 --> 00:38:55.720
ruling from us.

dcd2754e-213f-45a5-afe8-d4f09f897cb1-0
00:38:55.720 --> 00:38:59.463
However, any of these other
issues here, if you did have a

dcd2754e-213f-45a5-afe8-d4f09f897cb1-1
00:38:59.463 --> 00:39:03.206
28 or 29, our protests or the
issues before the court, our

dcd2754e-213f-45a5-afe8-d4f09f897cb1-2
00:39:03.206 --> 00:39:04.920
office cannot answer those.

d30fcfef-f060-418a-b6da-817657019afe-0
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:08.560
So just know that going into the
whole process here.

a92eeda0-23cb-4e4e-95f3-d5fa094bb7c5-0
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:13.496
Now, question 4, is this a
resubmission of the previous

a92eeda0-23cb-4e4e-95f3-d5fa094bb7c5-1
00:39:13.496 --> 00:39:16.520
ruling request which required
additional information?

bfcf0aae-ec9c-4cb6-96ae-a34f38176557-0
00:39:17.120 --> 00:39:20.934
So as Steve and Denise had
mentioned, there are instances

bfcf0aae-ec9c-4cb6-96ae-a34f38176557-1
00:39:20.934 --> 00:39:23.960
where we need to bounce back a
ruling to you.

8a25d27e-a1fd-4f01-944a-c917399a2e8a-0
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:25.400
I shouldn't say bounce back.

2a9fd38f-5b63-4fae-b506-0ab2e536bc45-0
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.280
It's not so, so glib, right?

69c4236a-919c-48cb-9fc2-6326cd4c159c-0
00:39:28.520 --> 00:39:32.339
So we would say we would have to
reject the ruling back to you

69c4236a-919c-48cb-9fc2-6326cd4c159c-1
00:39:32.339 --> 00:39:34.280
for more additional information.

13033664-e3d1-4e1e-aa5d-dba24572c081-0
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.512
So, but so if that was the case,
you would click yes and you

13033664-e3d1-4e1e-aa5d-dba24572c081-1
00:39:37.512 --> 00:39:38.960
would put the ruling number.

130d31a9-64a4-485d-92d9-32cb050ed1e8-0
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:42.616
So you would find the the ruling
on the letter that you received

130d31a9-64a4-485d-92d9-32cb050ed1e8-1
00:39:42.616 --> 00:39:46.048
from us on the top left hand
corner starts with the N and it

130d31a9-64a4-485d-92d9-32cb050ed1e8-2
00:39:46.048 --> 00:39:49.480
has I think 6 digits after and
you would type that in there.

49e96809-2642-4e29-b8b5-bba77377f1f6-0
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:51.890
That allows us to cross
reference your previous

49e96809-2642-4e29-b8b5-bba77377f1f6-1
00:39:51.890 --> 00:39:53.000
submission with this one.

5a50d043-4850-41fc-b0aa-9c6c02246506-0
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:57.109
So that way it gives us access
to what you have previously

5a50d043-4850-41fc-b0aa-9c6c02246506-1
00:39:57.109 --> 00:39:57.960
submitted as well.

01e066c1-7380-4cb6-88de-3017896fc7cc-0
00:39:59.520 --> 00:40:01.040
Bring this up to the next one
here.

63bc79cc-34c2-4281-a611-08de6ea7d566-0
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:03.960
Question 5 is the sample.

6e9ba895-0329-4fec-a17e-027b5adc006c-0
00:40:04.120 --> 00:40:05.600
Is there a sample being
submitted?

6ea766dc-48de-474d-a8d6-14bee59300ce-0
00:40:06.080 --> 00:40:09.769
If you click click yes, we do
have a field that you can enter

6ea766dc-48de-474d-a8d6-14bee59300ce-1
00:40:09.769 --> 00:40:10.960
the tracking number.

ee732445-d794-4c11-8f9c-b83a329fc286-0
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:15.548
If you would like the sample to
be returned to you was the next

ee732445-d794-4c11-8f9c-b83a329fc286-1
00:40:15.548 --> 00:40:16.640
question, you do yes or no?

dc62c01b-bd5f-46f9-aa06-5e45aac75d2d-0
00:40:16.640 --> 00:40:18.200
If you do yes it does.

902ed1ec-3bde-4856-94a5-8b1323bf24bb-0
00:40:18.200 --> 00:40:21.916
It opens up whether you can
enter another tracking number

902ed1ec-3bde-4856-94a5-8b1323bf24bb-1
00:40:21.916 --> 00:40:24.160
here as well for the return
label.

08962b1d-c252-4928-bc52-ec810aba1796-0
00:40:25.120 --> 00:40:29.238
We have heard that sometimes at
as you initially submit a

08962b1d-c252-4928-bc52-ec810aba1796-1
00:40:29.238 --> 00:40:33.782
binding ruling, you may not have
that information at that exact

08962b1d-c252-4928-bc52-ec810aba1796-2
00:40:33.782 --> 00:40:34.280
moment.

b406e163-a2e3-4ce7-ae57-bf82b665276c-0
00:40:35.120 --> 00:40:38.856
If that is the case, we do ask
you after, after the at the

b406e163-a2e3-4ce7-ae57-bf82b665276c-1
00:40:38.856 --> 00:40:40.440
completion of the ruling.

c5fe82bc-60ee-48bb-9871-2256b9686c23-0
00:40:41.680 --> 00:40:44.536
And when you do have the
tracking number, you can reach

c5fe82bc-60ee-48bb-9871-2256b9686c23-1
00:40:44.536 --> 00:40:47.597
out to our CIE, our customs
information exchange group that

c5fe82bc-60ee-48bb-9871-2256b9686c23-2
00:40:47.597 --> 00:40:50.300
handles the processing and
assignment of our binding

c5fe82bc-60ee-48bb-9871-2256b9686c23-3
00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:50.760
rollings.

4fa0597a-a5e3-438e-8a55-254f8aeca9ce-0
00:40:51.680 --> 00:40:56.768
And Sandra, can you please paste
the CIE e-mail address into the

4fa0597a-a5e3-438e-8a55-254f8aeca9ce-1
00:40:56.768 --> 00:40:57.160
chat?

1eabc659-67ca-40fe-ad0d-70579b693896-0
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:01.520
I'm sure you'll find that
helpful so that if you do need

1eabc659-67ca-40fe-ad0d-70579b693896-1
00:41:01.520 --> 00:41:04.826
to reach out and provide that
information to us, they will be

1eabc659-67ca-40fe-ad0d-70579b693896-2
00:41:04.826 --> 00:41:07.760
able to link it with the case
that you just submitted.

48567ea4-8996-42c7-9490-f27ea9a0978b-0
00:41:10.240 --> 00:41:15.802
Now, if you did want the sample
returned back to you, we do send

48567ea4-8996-42c7-9490-f27ea9a0978b-1
00:41:15.802 --> 00:41:17.600
it back through USPS.

ba93d532-22f1-44e2-9ed7-b26b69ddea2a-0
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:22.426
However, we do prefer or we do
prefer ask that ask that you

ba93d532-22f1-44e2-9ed7-b26b69ddea2a-1
00:41:22.426 --> 00:41:26.221
provide us with your shipping
label because that way we

ba93d532-22f1-44e2-9ed7-b26b69ddea2a-2
00:41:26.221 --> 00:41:28.999
guaranteed to get it back a lot
quicker.

0ee1c7cd-2a19-4439-b123-1030bacbab98-0
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:33.018
We do have some staffing issues
with our group in terms of

0ee1c7cd-2a19-4439-b123-1030bacbab98-1
00:41:33.018 --> 00:41:36.760
sending samples back, so it may
not be the highest priority.

e299ce36-0441-4dcb-8a00-709cefb387df-0
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:40.374
So we do I ask that if you do
want your sample back that you

e299ce36-0441-4dcb-8a00-709cefb387df-1
00:41:40.374 --> 00:41:43.160
submit a return label to get
your merchandise.

ca5e8c64-3478-45a1-9fc3-7640235c4c55-0
00:41:44.160 --> 00:41:48.383
And also if your particular
product is quite large, that's

ca5e8c64-3478-45a1-9fc3-7640235c4c55-1
00:41:48.383 --> 00:41:52.750
another reason that we would ask
you to do that because, you

ca5e8c64-3478-45a1-9fc3-7640235c4c55-2
00:41:52.750 --> 00:41:56.973
know, so obviously we get a
product request for all sorts,

ca5e8c64-3478-45a1-9fc3-7640235c4c55-3
00:41:56.973 --> 00:42:01.125
all sorts of merchandise,
something as small as a shoe to

ca5e8c64-3478-45a1-9fc3-7640235c4c55-4
00:42:01.125 --> 00:42:04.920
something as large as, you know,
axles or something.

0ecfd04f-b694-4db8-a9c7-50d1deb91a6a-0
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:08.542
So obviously if we get the axle,
that is a little bit of a

0ecfd04f-b694-4db8-a9c7-50d1deb91a6a-1
00:42:08.542 --> 00:42:10.200
special circumstance there.

fd981388-205c-4194-a3d0-f75bcf1d613c-0
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:14.000
So we're just going to click no,
just that way we can get to the

fd981388-205c-4194-a3d0-f75bcf1d613c-1
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.024
next one here and ask you for
what is the country of origin of

fd981388-205c-4194-a3d0-f75bcf1d613c-2
00:42:17.024 --> 00:42:18.080
your imported product?

d78cc767-51c8-4ee5-8497-e6ed6f98f758-0
00:42:18.080 --> 00:42:21.513
You would select from the drop
down menu all the countries that

d78cc767-51c8-4ee5-8497-e6ed6f98f758-1
00:42:21.513 --> 00:42:22.640
are available to you.

78460469-da32-4d35-b484-e0f2454428af-0
00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:25.200
And once you do that, we're
going to click next.

51570476-0071-4578-9bd7-c5dffea7e163-0
00:42:26.120 --> 00:42:28.852
And as you can see now we've
completed 3 sections here and

51570476-0071-4578-9bd7-c5dffea7e163-1
00:42:28.852 --> 00:42:30.520
now we're in the description
field.

53a974e4-caf9-48e6-9b20-bf295be518e2-0
00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:34.600
This field is broken up.

4fa6df5d-acf8-4b00-9a47-8e2b3a1b3f63-0
00:42:34.640 --> 00:42:37.040
This page is broken up into two
different parts.

c9a40d09-caaa-4062-9d9f-72c47d6b6ff5-0
00:42:37.040 --> 00:42:39.857
The top one is an overview of
the issue in general

c9a40d09-caaa-4062-9d9f-72c47d6b6ff5-1
00:42:39.857 --> 00:42:40.520
description.

8a78989d-c4ee-4765-9c42-71c7cff0ae4f-0
00:42:40.520 --> 00:42:46.520
And then down below we have the
actual individual description.

11ac0b0c-703c-41bd-b687-0750fbc3ee12-0
00:42:47.200 --> 00:42:52.040
So I had some pre printed text
to show you just as an example.

a1c0fcc6-cd78-4fb7-b3ee-9cdaace7e014-0
00:42:52.640 --> 00:42:54.840
I'm just just copy and paste it
in here for you.

a44a7730-f141-4cdd-a144-93adee0903e6-0
00:42:57.240 --> 00:43:00.487
And as you can see here, you do
have the ability to stretch out

a44a7730-f141-4cdd-a144-93adee0903e6-1
00:43:00.487 --> 00:43:03.532
the box if what you need to type
in there is longer than or

a44a7730-f141-4cdd-a144-93adee0903e6-2
00:43:03.532 --> 00:43:06.628
larger than what could fit in
the visible screen when you're

a44a7730-f141-4cdd-a144-93adee0903e6-3
00:43:06.628 --> 00:43:07.440
initially login.

858c1d60-fef4-4362-87a0-ad192380e5d8-0
00:43:08.720 --> 00:43:11.920
So in this particular one we put
here, we are we are seeking the

858c1d60-fef4-4362-87a0-ad192380e5d8-1
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:14.480
classification rule in on a
circular widget device.

8b2c60ab-3b71-4b62-a00b-a15c8258707e-0
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.249
This product is used to place
phone calls and is widely used

8b2c60ab-3b71-4b62-a00b-a15c8258707e-1
00:43:17.249 --> 00:43:17.840
by consumers.

0764223d-6483-4e22-bfaf-b611a487a6b9-0
00:43:18.560 --> 00:43:21.386
And then there's a second
product that they requested

0764223d-6483-4e22-bfaf-b611a487a6b9-1
00:43:21.386 --> 00:43:24.527
classification and RJ45 telecom
plug that is used in audio,

0764223d-6483-4e22-bfaf-b611a487a6b9-2
00:43:24.527 --> 00:43:26.360
video and other telecom
equipment.

0adaa655-f346-4853-9743-ee6c4df9cf2a-0
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:30.408
So basically you want to put the
overall issue, the general

0adaa655-f346-4853-9743-ee6c4df9cf2a-1
00:43:30.408 --> 00:43:32.760
description of what you're
looking for.

140ab59d-52cb-4787-abf5-a446805ef6f4-0
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:36.045
And then as you get down here,
you would put individual

140ab59d-52cb-4787-abf5-a446805ef6f4-1
00:43:36.045 --> 00:43:39.389
products, information that's
pertains to your individual

140ab59d-52cb-4787-abf5-a446805ef6f4-2
00:43:39.389 --> 00:43:40.680
products for each one.

7078ef61-2d86-4e6f-83fa-4989fe68b696-0
00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:48.762
So when you click on the ad
first one here again I'm going

7078ef61-2d86-4e6f-83fa-4989fe68b696-1
00:43:48.762 --> 00:43:56.040
to have some pre pre typed
comments here and paste it in.

999573e3-9c03-444c-a2c7-653f01560f47-0
00:43:56.040 --> 00:43:58.280
And this is the item 1.

2b13a918-81e7-4cf9-b6ba-a744910f0a26-0
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:02.541
The circular widget provided the
item number and some of the

2b13a918-81e7-4cf9-b6ba-a744910f0a26-1
00:44:02.541 --> 00:44:06.732
features and features of the
device that would help the NIS

2b13a918-81e7-4cf9-b6ba-a744910f0a26-2
00:44:06.732 --> 00:44:08.200
make a determination.

80662c0a-42dc-43b9-b106-8266f5e20ea0-0
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:13.498
You're not required to, but in
this particular case, the

80662c0a-42dc-43b9-b106-8266f5e20ea0-1
00:44:13.498 --> 00:44:17.199
importer was asking for a
particular subheading a

80662c0a-42dc-43b9-b106-8266f5e20ea0-2
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:21.640
particular subheading tariff
number to to request it under.

1bbe4532-685f-4a4e-b637-30c1dbfa3685-0
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:27.099
And what I wanted to show you
here is that for each right

1bbe4532-685f-4a4e-b637-30c1dbfa3685-1
00:44:27.099 --> 00:44:29.878
here, if there's a view
Industries button, which is

1bbe4532-685f-4a4e-b637-30c1dbfa3685-2
00:44:29.878 --> 00:44:30.360
optional.

6d0633af-9add-4211-8af3-8a08b964388c-0
00:44:30.560 --> 00:44:36.640
However, we find that this is a,
a pretty important step on here.

05f7e7ba-772a-485e-9edd-2a5a836d56d8-0
00:44:36.640 --> 00:44:42.455
So if you click on the industry
type, we have the 10 CS that are

05f7e7ba-772a-485e-9edd-2a5a836d56d8-1
00:44:42.455 --> 00:44:44.960
that are broken out in here.

142fe95b-57d5-4046-8594-ca4f1f2d7508-0
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:48.996
So we have each one of the 10 CS
and depending on the the C that

142fe95b-57d5-4046-8594-ca4f1f2d7508-1
00:44:48.996 --> 00:44:49.680
you choose.

fc96a192-eb06-44c7-b716-c301e5a9afc7-0
00:44:49.680 --> 00:44:52.789
So we'll just click the
automotive and aerospace on the

fc96a192-eb06-44c7-b716-c301e5a9afc7-1
00:44:52.789 --> 00:44:53.400
right here.

db45e4f8-e291-4135-a160-f6e63fd603e0-0
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:57.291
You'll see questions that are
are frequently asked by our NI S

db45e4f8-e291-4135-a160-f6e63fd603e0-1
00:44:57.291 --> 00:45:00.715
s and these are pretty
indicative of what you should be

db45e4f8-e291-4135-a160-f6e63fd603e0-2
00:45:00.715 --> 00:45:03.710
including if you had an
automotive and aerospace

db45e4f8-e291-4135-a160-f6e63fd603e0-3
00:45:03.710 --> 00:45:04.200
product.

b2edd342-b0a7-4886-8065-b72a3ef5333a-0
00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:08.760
Now, just for instance, we're
doing electronics.

14ad40f3-ec9a-416c-bfc9-ed74e2720507-0
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:12.184
If you click electronics and in
some cases some of these

14ad40f3-ec9a-416c-bfc9-ed74e2720507-1
00:45:12.184 --> 00:45:14.480
industries have sub industries
to select from.

e9c7b7fc-0de6-4a3d-b650-0fac040dc0cc-0
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.360
So here we have a sub industry
type.

42346d13-03f2-44b8-b905-3505bd967644-0
00:45:17.640 --> 00:45:19.760
We have lighting, optical and
electronics.

432742bd-d611-447c-9187-93c9529054ae-0
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:25.063
If we click the electronics,
these are the five bullets of

432742bd-d611-447c-9187-93c9529054ae-1
00:45:25.063 --> 00:45:29.672
information that is recommended
to be submitted with your ruling

432742bd-d611-447c-9187-93c9529054ae-2
00:45:29.672 --> 00:45:30.240
request.

e3aa4571-4a59-4ecf-b503-4770ddf1b7ab-0
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:34.968
Without it, there's a chance
that you may get your ruling

e3aa4571-4a59-4ecf-b503-4770ddf1b7ab-1
00:45:34.968 --> 00:45:37.680
rejected back to you for
additional information.

7e2f9b9f-ffd4-40b7-9ffd-316475ef1b00-0
00:45:37.680 --> 00:45:42.400
So we try to provide the the
information upfront to you what

7e2f9b9f-ffd4-40b7-9ffd-316475ef1b00-1
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:47.120
you need to provide us in order
to receive a binding ruling.

8419cd0e-bc29-4a6b-9710-b34687adfc59-0
00:45:47.120 --> 00:45:50.760
So I'm going to just go down
here for the second item as

8419cd0e-bc29-4a6b-9710-b34687adfc59-1
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:51.080
well.

6b7a5a71-398c-48e0-921a-62bbcbed5c09-0
00:45:51.640 --> 00:45:56.772
And again I have some pre
printed text, I will paste that

6b7a5a71-398c-48e0-921a-62bbcbed5c09-1
00:45:56.772 --> 00:45:57.480
in here.

bece69b6-32ab-420e-90fa-941ea118ca71-0
00:45:58.160 --> 00:46:00.920
And again you could choose the
industry type.

6d992bc0-11b0-4937-8499-fb9e45fe8d03-0
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:04.362
And just to show you some of
these other industries out

6d992bc0-11b0-4937-8499-fb9e45fe8d03-1
00:46:04.362 --> 00:46:07.775
there, Denise is the consumer
products and mass merchandising

6d992bc0-11b0-4937-8499-fb9e45fe8d03-2
00:46:07.775 --> 00:46:11.188
branch chief and so she overseas
the NIS's that handled those

6d992bc0-11b0-4937-8499-fb9e45fe8d03-3
00:46:11.188 --> 00:46:12.840
lines which are quite diverse.

b52ea6bd-34c5-4dac-bf93-7eaa4e9f484f-0
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:17.098
And as you can see with the sub
industries, there have many

b52ea6bd-34c5-4dac-bf93-7eaa4e9f484f-1
00:46:17.098 --> 00:46:20.476
different, we have a lot of
different sub industries to

b52ea6bd-34c5-4dac-bf93-7eaa4e9f484f-2
00:46:20.476 --> 00:46:21.200
select from.

02a4bd6c-9964-444c-aa95-62a024c609d8-0
00:46:21.200 --> 00:46:25.404
So if you ever happen to submit
a, a book or journal, these are

02a4bd6c-9964-444c-aa95-62a024c609d8-1
00:46:25.404 --> 00:46:28.360
the things that would be
necessary for that.

776ef9f3-666b-4beb-8c72-bf628833e141-0
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:34.179
If you did toys, here are some
questions or, or information

776ef9f3-666b-4beb-8c72-bf628833e141-1
00:46:34.179 --> 00:46:39.240
that should be submitted when
when filing your ruling request.

b31cbc03-921e-495a-a3db-e80c67900e62-0
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.800
And let's see what other ones
here.

261f0e4b-3cc3-4bf3-898f-5956f5918eb4-0
00:46:42.120 --> 00:46:43.200
There's a furniture.

aa839dff-9899-42c2-8786-df532953a79c-0
00:46:43.240 --> 00:46:45.440
And again, there's a lot of
questions here as well.

69b749ae-a8ac-4d5e-b9a4-86cd1d16b864-0
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:49.883
So you know, we always, we,
we're trying to make it easy for

69b749ae-a8ac-4d5e-b9a4-86cd1d16b864-1
00:46:49.883 --> 00:46:50.120
you.

0c99a6b6-e1e1-4be1-b840-3082f04f0246-0
00:46:50.120 --> 00:46:52.649
So that way you know the
information right up front,

0c99a6b6-e1e1-4be1-b840-3082f04f0246-1
00:46:52.649 --> 00:46:55.657
which you need to submit with
your ruling in order to get that

0c99a6b6-e1e1-4be1-b840-3082f04f0246-2
00:46:55.657 --> 00:46:57.280
binding ruling request
completed.

0980f306-d7f7-42e2-976b-0c6a6d04eadc-0
00:46:59.200 --> 00:47:02.266
Providing this information
upfront will expedite the

0980f306-d7f7-42e2-976b-0c6a6d04eadc-1
00:47:02.266 --> 00:47:05.853
process and reduces the chances
of having your ruling request

0980f306-d7f7-42e2-976b-0c6a6d04eadc-2
00:47:05.853 --> 00:47:09.440
return to you, which then does
restart the 30 day time frame.

8448155a-92d7-4e56-88ad-e6d0de1aa54a-0
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:12.160
So we, we don't like to do that.

05c9066c-f359-4ef0-a43a-5f1b4e47c039-0
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:13.720
We don't like to have it.

2dfcad4c-3218-4d1b-8208-8bd71d2aec4b-0
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:16.616
You know, obviously you're
asking for us for this

2dfcad4c-3218-4d1b-8208-8bd71d2aec4b-1
00:47:16.616 --> 00:47:19.320
information to get provided in a
timely manner.

c3999e1c-68fe-4b77-a21c-737804dd1788-0
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:23.640
So we would not, you know, we
don't want to hurt you by

c3999e1c-68fe-4b77-a21c-737804dd1788-1
00:47:23.640 --> 00:47:27.080
sending it back, but in some
cases we absolutely have to.

138a790e-3fda-4b32-8e56-ed2c890a9c13-0
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:31.239
So once we've completed that
step, we go to the next one,

138a790e-3fda-4b32-8e56-ed2c890a9c13-1
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:32.480
which is our attachments.

9e756fdd-eab3-4c51-a498-f11f4dcbe8b4-0
00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:38.559
Our site was recently updated so
it accepts pretty much all

9e756fdd-eab3-4c51-a498-f11f4dcbe8b4-1
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:43.430
mainstream file formats and we
can accept a combination of all

9e756fdd-eab3-4c51-a498-f11f4dcbe8b4-2
00:47:43.430 --> 00:47:46.600
the files of 25 megabytes in
some cases.

05cda850-aaae-44a3-8643-ee3965884ba7-0
00:47:46.600 --> 00:47:50.702
If you have files that are over
that amount, once the ruling is

05cda850-aaae-44a3-8643-ee3965884ba7-1
00:47:50.702 --> 00:47:54.227
assigned, you can work it out
with the national import

05cda850-aaae-44a3-8643-ee3965884ba7-2
00:47:54.227 --> 00:47:58.009
specialist that's assigned to
your product to maybe e-mail

05cda850-aaae-44a3-8643-ee3965884ba7-3
00:47:58.009 --> 00:48:02.240
them the the the file that would
not fit on this particular site.

ca56877d-a87e-4ad8-ad92-dce2026c49ca-0
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:06.547
And again, this is pretty easy
to do for the sake of the demo,

ca56877d-a87e-4ad8-ad92-dce2026c49ca-1
00:48:06.547 --> 00:48:09.695
I can't show you the drop files,
but that just means you could

ca56877d-a87e-4ad8-ad92-dce2026c49ca-2
00:48:09.695 --> 00:48:12.642
just, you know, if you have
something on your desktop, you

ca56877d-a87e-4ad8-ad92-dce2026c49ca-3
00:48:12.642 --> 00:48:15.690
would just drag it into this
spot here and it would start to

ca56877d-a87e-4ad8-ad92-dce2026c49ca-4
00:48:15.690 --> 00:48:16.040
upload.

f59d2a9f-ce43-4cd3-8b21-3ce5fa9ccdcb-0
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:23.081
For this, for the demo purposes,
I will just click upload files

f59d2a9f-ce43-4cd3-8b21-3ce5fa9ccdcb-1
00:48:23.081 --> 00:48:28.857
and you find the folder that you
saved that's you saved the files

f59d2a9f-ce43-4cd3-8b21-3ce5fa9ccdcb-2
00:48:28.857 --> 00:48:29.120
on.

5636f8b1-d7e3-4292-b9fc-7e904920006a-0
00:48:29.120 --> 00:48:33.512
You select the ones that you
want, you click OK or open, and

5636f8b1-d7e3-4292-b9fc-7e904920006a-1
00:48:33.512 --> 00:48:38.192
as you can see, the system then
is processing them and gives you

5636f8b1-d7e3-4292-b9fc-7e904920006a-2
00:48:38.192 --> 00:48:39.560
a green check mark.

7f90a6ba-18ee-4bba-982c-3b979e9111f4-0
00:48:39.560 --> 00:48:42.120
Once it has been uploaded, you
click done.

acede667-bb9d-4dcd-822c-4d98088513c9-0
00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:45.520
As you can see here now, they're
all here.

8deec7a7-65d9-4389-ad62-a1acda0f8093-0
00:48:45.520 --> 00:48:48.071
If you made a mistake and you
didn't want to include one of

8deec7a7-65d9-4389-ad62-a1acda0f8093-1
00:48:48.071 --> 00:48:50.240
them, you could X them out and
it would remove it.

43b613f2-0336-4042-8153-5aebbe8ba80c-0
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:56.691
So we're going to click next,
and this brings us to the submit

43b613f2-0336-4042-8153-5aebbe8ba80c-1
00:48:56.691 --> 00:49:01.040
screen, which is basically the
summary of what has been

43b613f2-0336-4042-8153-5aebbe8ba80c-2
00:49:01.040 --> 00:49:02.360
submitted so far.

9375632c-d8c7-4335-be73-ffbb27b21092-0
00:49:03.080 --> 00:49:07.213
And if you had something that
you needed to go back and edit,

9375632c-d8c7-4335-be73-ffbb27b21092-1
00:49:07.213 --> 00:49:09.680
you would be able to click that
one.

1651cc16-0521-4f77-bd17-f8e791697d78-0
00:49:10.640 --> 00:49:12.440
Let's say you put in the wrong
phone number.

81098522-9ba6-49de-9e1e-425a6f37214d-0
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:21.197
You could go back to submit, see
the number was updated there and

81098522-9ba6-49de-9e1e-425a6f37214d-1
00:49:21.197 --> 00:49:24.120
you were going to click at the
end.

8ab2eb8b-100e-4dbd-81c6-93e009e8d0ab-0
00:49:24.120 --> 00:49:26.760
Here we go.

eff5c452-91c4-479b-bbf4-2e686f0b16a9-0
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:31.431
Scroll all the way down, click
submit and that brings you to

eff5c452-91c4-479b-bbf4-2e686f0b16a9-1
00:49:31.431 --> 00:49:35.000
this screen here this is it
tells you success.

8a05516f-9093-46fa-864b-8b89c14aee4c-0
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:39.038
We've received your ruling
request and this one, it showed

8a05516f-9093-46fa-864b-8b89c14aee4c-1
00:49:39.038 --> 00:49:43.283
up the survey, but let me skip
this for a minute because I'll

8a05516f-9093-46fa-864b-8b89c14aee4c-2
00:49:43.283 --> 00:49:45.200
talk about that in a second.

2e9924fb-5e02-4bb1-bf46-549f9f70bf64-0
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:49.462
So it brings you to the
confirmation screen and it

2e9924fb-5e02-4bb1-bf46-549f9f70bf64-1
00:49:49.462 --> 00:49:51.760
provides you your ruling number.

d33ff1c6-da21-415b-a6fe-7ee37f693b68-0
00:49:54.200 --> 00:49:57.273
If you did click next
submission, it would then and

d33ff1c6-da21-415b-a6fe-7ee37f693b68-1
00:49:57.273 --> 00:50:00.997
I'll show you that at the end it
would reach it keeps all your

d33ff1c6-da21-415b-a6fe-7ee37f693b68-2
00:50:00.997 --> 00:50:04.838
information that was on the 1st
bubble screen of number one that

d33ff1c6-da21-415b-a6fe-7ee37f693b68-3
00:50:04.838 --> 00:50:06.079
requests information.

a8073116-c153-44ef-9a28-786442e68f73-0
00:50:06.080 --> 00:50:09.954
So now within minutes, once you
click that and you get this

a8073116-c153-44ef-9a28-786442e68f73-1
00:50:09.954 --> 00:50:13.635
screen, within minutes, you're
going to receive a system

a8073116-c153-44ef-9a28-786442e68f73-2
00:50:13.635 --> 00:50:17.315
generated e-mail which which
contains a copy of all your

a8073116-c153-44ef-9a28-786442e68f73-3
00:50:17.315 --> 00:50:20.480
responses in in the in a
particular e-mail file.

a3572aaf-ac6f-4cd8-bcb1-5316a1aad6f2-0
00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:23.725
Now, within one business day,
you're going to receive a second

a3572aaf-ac6f-4cd8-bcb1-5316a1aad6f2-1
00:50:23.725 --> 00:50:25.640
e-mail from our group, from our
CIE group.

4889c950-352e-4817-94d1-7bc1dd90bd47-0
00:50:26.240 --> 00:50:30.427
You're either going to receive a
general message that basically

4889c950-352e-4817-94d1-7bc1dd90bd47-1
00:50:30.427 --> 00:50:34.680
says that your ruling submission
is in good order and it will be

4889c950-352e-4817-94d1-7bc1dd90bd47-2
00:50:34.680 --> 00:50:37.560
assigned to the national import
specialist.

e0516f9d-c554-4e74-bafd-dd5162ee25c2-0
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:41.720
The other option is that if you
had a sample and you needed to

e0516f9d-c554-4e74-bafd-dd5162ee25c2-1
00:50:41.720 --> 00:50:45.041
submit it to us, you're going to
get the second version of the

e0516f9d-c554-4e74-bafd-dd5162ee25c2-2
00:50:45.041 --> 00:50:48.520
letter, which basically is going
to give you the address of where

e0516f9d-c554-4e74-bafd-dd5162ee25c2-3
00:50:48.520 --> 00:50:49.680
to submit your sample.

2ef6df5c-586f-48cb-adbe-191ec285ad0c-0
00:50:50.720 --> 00:50:54.498
So if you haven't received a
system generated the first

2ef6df5c-586f-48cb-adbe-191ec285ad0c-1
00:50:54.498 --> 00:50:58.682
system generated e-mail or the
second e-mail, check your spam

2ef6df5c-586f-48cb-adbe-191ec285ad0c-2
00:50:58.682 --> 00:50:59.560
folder first.

60319578-ba60-4a79-bec8-042979e6cf8b-0
00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:02.960
There's a good chance that it
may have gone in there.

889f5a10-6630-4f34-a760-7b9c3b0c8f06-0
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:08.814
If it if your spam folder did
not contain this message, we

889f5a10-6630-4f34-a760-7b9c3b0c8f06-1
00:51:08.814 --> 00:51:10.120
would reach out.

3600cc88-482b-4361-8a2f-1d86747456d2-0
00:51:10.120 --> 00:51:12.360
I would suggest you reach out to
the CIE group again.

da0327e7-d886-447c-88d3-6a5fd41233e7-0
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:15.235
That e-mail address that we
pasted into the chat box here a

da0327e7-d886-447c-88d3-6a5fd41233e7-1
00:51:15.235 --> 00:51:17.200
little earlier is a good
starting point.

cd017421-93e9-4c05-a029-371d12ced92c-0
00:51:17.200 --> 00:51:20.702
And if you receive neither of
them, again, there's a good

cd017421-93e9-4c05-a029-371d12ced92c-1
00:51:20.702 --> 00:51:23.360
chance you typed your e-mail
address wrong.

ffc2fb44-df02-422d-8b57-7ab594fe523d-0
00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:27.632
So our CIE group, we'll be able
to investigate the issue for you

ffc2fb44-df02-422d-8b57-7ab594fe523d-1
00:51:27.632 --> 00:51:31.502
and correct any issue with if
there was a problem with your

ffc2fb44-df02-422d-8b57-7ab594fe523d-2
00:51:31.502 --> 00:51:33.760
e-mail address and get that
fixed.

c312910f-0d02-4af9-a90c-0ce2d6bea3e5-0
00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:36.640
So that way you'll start
receiving the e-mail.

a5fe9e0b-d1c1-4313-b40b-c7cb719b87d5-0
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:43.820
So the one last item to show you
is our survey that I just

a5fe9e0b-d1c1-4313-b40b-c7cb719b87d5-1
00:51:43.820 --> 00:51:49.520
skipped over before and right
here as you saw it before.

b88aec36-03a5-4ecd-bafe-277fc1499a6b-0
00:51:49.560 --> 00:51:52.560
So this is something that we
recently implemented.

95fbc48f-6e6c-49dd-939f-4dbc23338dfb-0
00:51:52.560 --> 00:51:56.782
It's a survey for our customers
for you to provide feedback on

95fbc48f-6e6c-49dd-939f-4dbc23338dfb-1
00:51:56.782 --> 00:52:00.200
your experience with utilizing
our E Ruins Portal.

082e80ab-8417-4394-9041-2c566caa01ea-0
00:52:02.040 --> 00:52:06.057
We've, I think it was introduced
on May 20th and we've gotten a

082e80ab-8417-4394-9041-2c566caa01ea-1
00:52:06.057 --> 00:52:09.948
bunch of responses so far and
very, very excellent reviews so

082e80ab-8417-4394-9041-2c566caa01ea-2
00:52:09.948 --> 00:52:10.200
far.

5df0a7d4-e54c-4f62-93e1-3e72cf350f30-0
00:52:10.720 --> 00:52:12.200
So there's only three questions.

cfae79b2-c74b-448b-acbd-d20d7cb7e441-0
00:52:12.560 --> 00:52:16.836
One is whether you know, is the
E Ruins Portal easy to use from

cfae79b2-c74b-448b-acbd-d20d7cb7e441-1
00:52:16.836 --> 00:52:18.440
a scale of zero to five?

555bd05b-af62-4b04-a080-47c4b2caa02a-0
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.628
What features of the E Ruins
Portal do you find helpful and

555bd05b-af62-4b04-a080-47c4b2caa02a-1
00:52:22.628 --> 00:52:26.256
what features or improvements do
you would you like to have seen

555bd05b-af62-4b04-a080-47c4b2caa02a-2
00:52:26.256 --> 00:52:28.600
included on future releases of E
rolling?

496739d3-9e1d-4350-88e7-539b4f202f64-0
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:34.107
You click submit and you know,
we review the the findings

496739d3-9e1d-4350-88e7-539b4f202f64-1
00:52:34.107 --> 00:52:34.640
there.

01b8d6ce-a4d6-48d0-83e4-d2055cb025c0-0
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:39.280
So you will not get bombarded
with this screen.

b144835c-d827-4363-a193-7c165b1ec334-0
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:44.236
It takes it asks if so, if you
either submit or skip it, it'll

b144835c-d827-4363-a193-7c165b1ec334-1
00:52:44.236 --> 00:52:46.360
you'll see it every seven days.

dd9a0a6e-d80a-4729-ac6b-6aa14f40c53d-0
00:52:47.040 --> 00:52:50.444
So, you know, to give you some
time to marinate if you have any

dd9a0a6e-d80a-4729-ac6b-6aa14f40c53d-1
00:52:50.444 --> 00:52:53.796
other ideas or suggestions that
you may want to that you think

dd9a0a6e-d80a-4729-ac6b-6aa14f40c53d-2
00:52:53.796 --> 00:52:56.456
about at a later date, yet
you'll always have the

dd9a0a6e-d80a-4729-ac6b-6aa14f40c53d-3
00:52:56.456 --> 00:52:57.680
opportunity to do that.

f203e7f9-8a31-4b9e-bb0f-58a566803b6b-0
00:52:58.920 --> 00:53:03.135
And you know, both both us, you
know, Denise, myself and Steve

f203e7f9-8a31-4b9e-bb0f-58a566803b6b-1
00:53:03.135 --> 00:53:07.483
as well as NI s s that we, that
we have in our group here, we're

f203e7f9-8a31-4b9e-bb0f-58a566803b6b-2
00:53:07.483 --> 00:53:11.431
here to make the process as
simple and as easy as possible

f203e7f9-8a31-4b9e-bb0f-58a566803b6b-3
00:53:11.431 --> 00:53:13.840
and as straightforward as
possible.

661fc1e8-0331-49c4-8fd1-464b68001750-0
00:53:13.840 --> 00:53:19.096
So hopefully this demo did show
that that it is an easy to use

661fc1e8-0331-49c4-8fd1-464b68001750-1
00:53:19.096 --> 00:53:19.680
system.

f0d703dd-72f3-45db-8231-7a9d9a88f415-0
00:53:21.120 --> 00:53:23.920
So we're going to turn it over
for the any questions.

bc0cae84-e2ea-4640-8b0c-927eef8a7590-0
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:27.809
But in the meantime, this is our
contact information for myself,

bc0cae84-e2ea-4640-8b0c-927eef8a7590-1
00:53:27.809 --> 00:53:31.221
Denise and Steve, our mailing
address at the World Trade

bc0cae84-e2ea-4640-8b0c-927eef8a7590-2
00:53:31.221 --> 00:53:31.640
Center.

37974227-f168-4856-9269-fbc4f8cd19e0-0
00:53:32.120 --> 00:53:35.700
And at the bottom of the screen
there are the credits for

37974227-f168-4856-9269-fbc4f8cd19e0-1
00:53:35.700 --> 00:53:37.120
attending this webinar.

37d52c8a-a832-4bee-ad35-788f12681cdc-0
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:40.723
So again, I would like to thank
everyone for their attendance

37d52c8a-a832-4bee-ad35-788f12681cdc-1
00:53:40.723 --> 00:53:42.240
today and your participation.

218c32d0-8e6a-4cc3-b3d2-5d42b9aa9fc1-0
00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:45.985
And I'm going to turn it over to
Chrissy Guff to address any

218c32d0-8e6a-4cc3-b3d2-5d42b9aa9fc1-1
00:53:45.985 --> 00:53:48.800
questions that may have come in
while we were speaking.

44ee4ecc-a5c1-4354-a15c-d30c7ece7a1f-0
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:49.360
Thank you.

bd4b58f6-0fa8-4663-9ed8-57a816187514-0
00:53:49.360 --> 00:53:55.280
Thank you, Jim.

ca5312a2-659e-48c7-855e-1bf41ad52b40-0
00:53:56.800 --> 00:54:01.120
We did have some questions come
in during the presentation.

eec58ede-9424-478a-9821-eb35627ab9f6-0
00:54:02.240 --> 00:54:08.376
The first one is can a binding
ruling result in an audit or ACF

eec58ede-9424-478a-9821-eb35627ab9f6-1
00:54:08.376 --> 00:54:09.240
28 or 29?

72e1bec6-3b84-4963-b391-5bdf69093e2e-0
00:54:10.720 --> 00:54:15.656
I'll take that, Chrissy and I
will say no, you know, we, we do

72e1bec6-3b84-4963-b391-5bdf69093e2e-1
00:54:15.656 --> 00:54:20.279
not if we get a question, we
don't wait for anything to to

72e1bec6-3b84-4963-b391-5bdf69093e2e-2
00:54:20.279 --> 00:54:22.160
audit or, or the center.

5cb808a6-cf0d-42a2-ab0a-00c3e6a081ec-0
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:25.682
Now, if you're saying your
ruling that you want to, you

5cb808a6-cf0d-42a2-ab0a-00c3e6a081ec-1
00:54:25.682 --> 00:54:29.491
know, evade CBP, Judy and commit
fraud, then maybe we would send

5cb808a6-cf0d-42a2-ab0a-00c3e6a081ec-2
00:54:29.491 --> 00:54:30.840
it forward to somebody.

1a14c1c4-bf69-408d-b6ea-0092c2e90edb-0
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:34.383
But that's not the purpose of
rulings and the people who are

1a14c1c4-bf69-408d-b6ea-0092c2e90edb-1
00:54:34.383 --> 00:54:37.984
asking for rulings, generally
speaking, or people who want to

1a14c1c4-bf69-408d-b6ea-0092c2e90edb-2
00:54:37.984 --> 00:54:39.960
be compliant and do things
right.

d6978007-a4e1-414d-bdc5-5a1781bc6e15-0
00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:42.440
So the answer to that is no, it
will not.

0bd61386-610b-44bd-a134-7f52c11094d9-0
00:54:46.720 --> 00:54:47.640
Thank you for that.

ef2938b2-9de6-483e-ab27-f97d3f59737e-0
00:54:48.160 --> 00:54:49.080
Next question.

1c904ade-9f68-4ba3-a4b2-92d257abdd4c-0
00:54:49.080 --> 00:54:54.710
Are binding rulings only for
contemplated or pending imports,

1c904ade-9f68-4ba3-a4b2-92d257abdd4c-1
00:54:54.710 --> 00:54:59.887
for example, for goods not
having been imported into the

1c904ade-9f68-4ba3-a4b2-92d257abdd4c-2
00:54:59.887 --> 00:55:00.160
US?

a1f47a93-7f55-4d63-a59a-f9b2375bfd52-0
00:55:02.600 --> 00:55:06.056
I think that one again too, and
I didn't, Denise and Jim can

a1f47a93-7f55-4d63-a59a-f9b2375bfd52-1
00:55:06.056 --> 00:55:08.040
jump in when they want to as
well.

f97e8c64-35c6-4ea1-b132-d0b977001bf5-0
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:11.626
So generally speaking, we do
prefer it to be something that's

f97e8c64-35c6-4ea1-b132-d0b977001bf5-1
00:55:11.626 --> 00:55:12.160
brand new.

e40afa68-37c7-481d-a303-85ee7101e9fd-0
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:15.400
But if you have been importing
something for years and you're

e40afa68-37c7-481d-a303-85ee7101e9fd-1
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:16.200
like, you know what?

d13a2c79-ea7d-490f-a8c6-521215f1ee33-0
00:55:16.200 --> 00:55:20.040
I don't know if it's right or I
don't know now that there's new

d13a2c79-ea7d-490f-a8c6-521215f1ee33-1
00:55:20.040 --> 00:55:23.640
some new section three O 1 or
some other thing out there, a

d13a2c79-ea7d-490f-a8c6-521215f1ee33-2
00:55:23.640 --> 00:55:27.300
new anti dumping or there's
countervailing duty case and you

d13a2c79-ea7d-490f-a8c6-521215f1ee33-3
00:55:27.300 --> 00:55:29.400
think it might be subject to
that.

c9e2fba4-77cb-455c-9edc-49fe9cc8925c-0
00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:34.360
Certainly I think we can take
that and we can make a ruling on

c9e2fba4-77cb-455c-9edc-49fe9cc8925c-1
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:38.761
it as long as no one else in CVP
is currently questioning that

c9e2fba4-77cb-455c-9edc-49fe9cc8925c-2
00:55:38.761 --> 00:55:39.320
product.

d0e2fd77-a18b-440c-bc54-c9f19a9842e4-0
00:55:39.320 --> 00:55:43.750
So if if you received the 28 or
29 on a product, we can't, we

d0e2fd77-a18b-440c-bc54-c9f19a9842e4-1
00:55:43.750 --> 00:55:45.680
can't issue a ruling on it.

6d618013-258c-4a97-a07b-cf074f16f279-0
00:55:46.160 --> 00:55:49.752
If audit has contacted you on
that product and they're asking

6d618013-258c-4a97-a07b-cf074f16f279-1
00:55:49.752 --> 00:55:52.360
you about it, we can't issue a
ruling on it.

01c9dac2-30d2-4730-9e26-57cca8882eaa-0
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:57.880
So, but generally speaking, we
can and in fact we do.

50bbc7c1-1c65-430b-ac5c-48c00eec054f-0
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:02.759
When when the 232 duties came in
on steel, we found that many

50bbc7c1-1c65-430b-ac5c-48c00eec054f-1
00:56:02.759 --> 00:56:06.615
steel companies had it and
importing their goods

50bbc7c1-1c65-430b-ac5c-48c00eec054f-2
00:56:06.615 --> 00:56:07.560
incorrectly.

c6902bd6-67f7-4212-a56a-5d4d79ae7666-0
00:56:07.720 --> 00:56:11.667
They've been classifying that
incorrectly for many years and

c6902bd6-67f7-4212-a56a-5d4d79ae7666-1
00:56:11.667 --> 00:56:15.291
didn't know about it until they
started to try to claim

c6902bd6-67f7-4212-a56a-5d4d79ae7666-2
00:56:15.291 --> 00:56:17.879
exclusions from the Section 232
duties.

25fb4ec9-66d2-4682-9af5-017ce597399f-0
00:56:18.240 --> 00:56:22.022
So one of the ways we resolved
that was for companies to ask

25fb4ec9-66d2-4682-9af5-017ce597399f-1
00:56:22.022 --> 00:56:23.200
for binding ruling.

71b8c9e9-e226-423b-a37f-116ac20e6d63-0
00:56:23.200 --> 00:56:27.118
So they do the classification
was correct and it could help

71b8c9e9-e226-423b-a37f-116ac20e6d63-1
00:56:27.118 --> 00:56:31.168
them qualify for exclusions from
Section 232 duties on on the

71b8c9e9-e226-423b-a37f-116ac20e6d63-2
00:56:31.168 --> 00:56:31.560
steel.

7381bd33-6fe2-4af8-b42e-03bc6397a640-0
00:56:32.040 --> 00:56:33.800
Jim, Denise, you want to add to
that?

c9d80d5e-75e2-4964-a239-08012ba01a02-0
00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:37.040
Well, I would like to just add
that yes, that is true.

2d88a271-372b-4237-b841-cf3f4fabac0c-0
00:56:37.040 --> 00:56:40.520
There are, you know, repetitive
shipments that come in, but it's

2d88a271-372b-4237-b841-cf3f4fabac0c-1
00:56:40.520 --> 00:56:43.464
it does still have to be a
prospective shipment that's

2d88a271-372b-4237-b841-cf3f4fabac0c-2
00:56:43.464 --> 00:56:44.000
coming in.

5565645b-1d11-4dd0-94a2-438c864adca7-0
00:56:44.120 --> 00:56:45.600
That's part of the regulations.

8ad81f6d-0d7a-48c5-8ba2-b0b9de3daf32-0
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:49.178
And it also does have to be
based on a set of facts that are

8ad81f6d-0d7a-48c5-8ba2-b0b9de3daf32-1
00:56:49.178 --> 00:56:52.023
authentic and not just, you
know, send it different

8ad81f6d-0d7a-48c5-8ba2-b0b9de3daf32-2
00:56:52.023 --> 00:56:54.760
scenarios that you want to try
kind of flush out.

5dad2165-c001-43c1-803c-b0ac393ad94e-0
00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:56.280
It can't be hypothetical.

56cfc660-65bb-4383-a42b-2d0a9deaf379-0
00:56:56.680 --> 00:57:00.049
So it has to be based on a set
of facts that is for a

56cfc660-65bb-4383-a42b-2d0a9deaf379-1
00:57:00.049 --> 00:57:01.360
perspective shipment.

185ee665-28b6-42b8-a78f-2a6cb61ff6ad-0
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:04.823
And that means a shipment that
hasn't entered the commerce of

185ee665-28b6-42b8-a78f-2a6cb61ff6ad-1
00:57:04.823 --> 00:57:07.560
the United States yet, but it is
planning to go.

d6c6780c-8d98-4d08-b1fa-4a700e121449-0
00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:12.400
Anyone else?

e4e6053f-6773-46f7-b41d-1112a20c7e5a-0
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:14.120
Jim, did you want to add
anything?

6b9ccbd0-8e60-4fae-af4d-482f914f720b-0
00:57:14.680 --> 00:57:16.360
No, you guys answered that
perfectly.

564ffc60-0e23-42a5-bcc9-b2e30b48c3ca-0
00:57:16.360 --> 00:57:16.760
Thank you.

e9e17e33-f288-4196-8582-fb3bc7b30894-0
00:57:17.760 --> 00:57:17.880
OK.

295673ed-c1ff-4cea-ae92-cca2ba063509-0
00:57:17.880 --> 00:57:18.840
Next question.

625c026e-dc67-4ea4-86ae-69d1d298eb85-0
00:57:24.240 --> 00:57:24.600
OK.

0e28d8a5-5ce4-47d0-901d-6bc3feb3412b-0
00:57:24.720 --> 00:57:30.400
So our next question is this
came in during the demo.

19b1e7e3-c0f5-43c9-8424-110ce2bf2881-0
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:35.038
Should this account be opened
for any amount of merchandise

19b1e7e3-c0f5-43c9-8424-110ce2bf2881-1
00:57:35.038 --> 00:57:36.240
that is imported?

4089f28b-8543-433d-847c-039dded609a8-0
00:57:44.530 --> 00:57:50.440
Can you clarify that maybe maybe
that could be, you said it can

4089f28b-8543-433d-847c-039dded609a8-1
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:56.166
the account, the question says,
should this account be opened

4089f28b-8543-433d-847c-039dded609a8-2
00:57:56.166 --> 00:58:00.600
for any amount of merchandise
that is imported?

d54a8c13-468e-444f-9795-5cd7a51f11f5-0
00:58:00.600 --> 00:58:06.334
I mean, we can we, we handle,
you know, every, every chapter

d54a8c13-468e-444f-9795-5cd7a51f11f5-1
00:58:06.334 --> 00:58:10.000
in the in the tower from from 1
to 97.

d040c969-db5b-44e7-9c7f-b148e29e563c-0
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:13.080
And then we also handle some of
the 9899 numbers as well.

46550727-f332-4b68-a825-56ff51e70f11-0
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:19.350
So I would say yes, we, we
handle any, any merchandise that

46550727-f332-4b68-a825-56ff51e70f11-1
00:58:19.350 --> 00:58:21.960
is entered into the country.

b3e115d5-d26e-4456-b4a7-c660558e953d-0
00:58:21.960 --> 00:58:24.617
We, you know, we have a national
import specialist that would

b3e115d5-d26e-4456-b4a7-c660558e953d-1
00:58:24.617 --> 00:58:25.560
handle that commodity.

ab7ab59c-abab-4fce-a976-b5c4925b9288-0
00:58:25.560 --> 00:58:29.440
So if that is the question, I
would say yes.

1be0c35e-4f39-4d8f-9dc7-bb4445aae459-0
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:33.312
Yeah, Jim, I don't know if
they're speaking about the value

1be0c35e-4f39-4d8f-9dc7-bb4445aae459-1
00:58:33.312 --> 00:58:35.280
of the good, if it's any value
as well.

97536fe1-650a-4166-81f4-f5d732c793be-0
00:58:36.200 --> 00:58:39.314
You know, de minimis is
something that we look at, but

97536fe1-650a-4166-81f4-f5d732c793be-1
00:58:39.314 --> 00:58:41.240
usually it's, it's for any
value.

776dec30-cc29-4454-8100-0813eca5c6dd-0
00:58:41.240 --> 00:58:43.640
We don't have a limitation on
the value as far as I know.

d5cf8524-f07d-4b50-b0af-d69989df998a-0
00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:49.778
We could definitely also the you
are limited to five items per

d5cf8524-f07d-4b50-b0af-d69989df998a-1
00:58:49.778 --> 00:58:50.840
ruling request.

ff4808ab-006f-4830-8720-dbc4394cb882-0
00:58:51.240 --> 00:58:54.280
So that is the one limitation
there.

f8a33b4e-f93b-49c2-9217-dc9be142f74b-0
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:57.992
That doesn't mean you can't, you
know, submit 20 rulings on the

f8a33b4e-f93b-49c2-9217-dc9be142f74b-1
00:58:57.992 --> 00:58:58.920
on the same day.

f49de256-2617-4570-8c48-6da326da8d57-0
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:04.342
We've had it happen asking for
100 different requests, but

f49de256-2617-4570-8c48-6da326da8d57-1
00:59:04.342 --> 00:59:07.560
there really is no, no
limitation.

8772f75f-79d5-464e-ab31-c7cde5be991c-0
00:59:09.160 --> 00:59:12.808
Oh, you bring up a good point,
Steve, which I meant to actually

8772f75f-79d5-464e-ab31-c7cde5be991c-1
00:59:12.808 --> 00:59:13.720
during the demo.

b7ec7677-362a-40a7-a2b7-8afa0063f4aa-0
00:59:14.040 --> 00:59:17.815
So we do limit the ruling
request to five items of the

b7ec7677-362a-40a7-a2b7-8afa0063f4aa-1
00:59:17.815 --> 00:59:19.120
same class or kind.

712474a0-1c22-4c29-b439-bfcb684fb9dd-0
00:59:19.560 --> 00:59:23.548
So basically if you had five
styles of footwear, that would

712474a0-1c22-4c29-b439-bfcb684fb9dd-1
00:59:23.548 --> 00:59:24.080
be fine.

6a84672f-3f74-4e78-bd57-bba00ba103ba-0
00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:27.895
If you had five items of, you
know, that are within the

6a84672f-3f74-4e78-bd57-bba00ba103ba-1
00:59:27.895 --> 00:59:30.240
electrical realm, that would be
fine.

68bedc04-83d4-4951-b16f-c1abbcee8d8d-0
00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:34.554
However, if you had three pairs
of footwear and two pair or and

68bedc04-83d4-4951-b16f-c1abbcee8d8d-1
00:59:34.554 --> 00:59:38.120
two items of electric products,
that would not be fine.

f26d86db-4edc-4306-858f-3a87f0a373e2-0
00:59:38.120 --> 00:59:41.200
They should be separated to
individual rooms.

1920b68c-bb13-4a7f-9f02-94ef78b51000-0
00:59:41.200 --> 00:59:42.640
They should not be submitted
together.

3f534b86-5e04-48ce-96a7-b67604325d45-0
00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:50.880
OK, next question.

ae8689ba-f5dd-46a7-b6b1-c74c30434f5e-0
00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:57.854
Can entities submit E rulings
for upcoming USTR Section 3O1

ae8689ba-f5dd-46a7-b6b1-c74c30434f5e-1
00:59:57.854 --> 01:00:02.400
tariffs to calculate their
expected cost?

39c0307b-4434-415b-8a34-9579301a47b4-0
01:00:07.160 --> 01:00:10.080
So we, we will tell you the
classification.

c40b63bc-2b13-4f63-8b52-d116571c9218-0
01:00:10.080 --> 01:00:14.952
If that classification falls
under, you know, trade remedy

c40b63bc-2b13-4f63-8b52-d116571c9218-1
01:00:14.952 --> 01:00:17.760
duties, then you would know
that.

5f2d9393-8cb8-426e-8e00-408ee6b29f18-0
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:21.768
But until those those are
actually published and and

5f2d9393-8cb8-426e-8e00-408ee6b29f18-1
01:00:21.768 --> 01:00:26.306
determined, you know, we, we
wouldn't say it's subject to a

5f2d9393-8cb8-426e-8e00-408ee6b29f18-2
01:00:26.306 --> 01:00:30.240
three O 1 duty if it hasn't
already been published.

84648062-8852-47d0-976b-d0ef3c185eef-0
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:33.920
But you could look at it and
say, well, I know this

84648062-8852-47d0-976b-d0ef3c185eef-1
01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:37.880
classification from this country
is likely to be subject to those

84648062-8852-47d0-976b-d0ef3c185eef-2
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:40.880
upcoming duties and make your
decisions that way.

95e557c4-5130-4319-a54f-1c508679cc2b-0
01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:45.948
But until there's a final list,
we can't tell you that something

95e557c4-5130-4319-a54f-1c508679cc2b-1
01:00:45.948 --> 01:00:49.760
something is subject to three O1
232 or 212O1 duties.

5ecfe2e8-892a-426c-9fb9-c2999fb01360-0
01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:55.400
Thank you.

a3c6b655-34cc-42e5-b0aa-a851a984c461-0
01:00:56.000 --> 01:01:01.106
Next question, to submit large
documents, may a link to a

a3c6b655-34cc-42e5-b0aa-a851a984c461-1
01:01:01.106 --> 01:01:06.652
software for example we transfer
or Dropbox be provided in the

a3c6b655-34cc-42e5-b0aa-a851a984c461-2
01:01:06.652 --> 01:01:12.375
application instead of resetting
the time frame with emails from

a3c6b655-34cc-42e5-b0aa-a851a984c461-3
01:01:12.375 --> 01:01:13.080
customs?

6c6cfb3e-17ab-40a0-b6eb-a3bf74d7f7fd-0
01:01:17.320 --> 01:01:22.537
I do not believe that we have
that we would be able to utilize

6c6cfb3e-17ab-40a0-b6eb-a3bf74d7f7fd-1
01:01:22.537 --> 01:01:23.200
Dropbox.

927ed585-dad9-4a15-8c52-bf4aebc1149d-0
01:01:26.680 --> 01:01:28.080
We we, we have it right.

02e5257d-eafa-4f1f-9f9b-7c898ca64fb6-0
01:01:28.080 --> 01:01:30.880
I'm pretty sure that that's not
not allowed.

1d1c6b24-5711-4d32-8369-1874587ccd6d-0
01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:33.280
We have not done that before.

c2d057b8-80c7-4d31-aaaa-c419cdeb8be8-0
01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:40.060
I believe we have limitations on
what software we can we can use

c2d057b8-80c7-4d31-aaaa-c419cdeb8be8-1
01:01:40.060 --> 01:01:43.920
or where it takes us outside of
CBP.

1d92df81-4e64-4052-b6f7-f2a1e9166bad-0
01:01:44.200 --> 01:01:46.280
So we haven't used it.

ce1070bd-1954-497a-9e49-2c2c09964b7f-0
01:01:47.320 --> 01:01:48.240
You know, it's always something.

b3fcd8ef-77be-40b3-8682-624f6d5b18f0-0
01:01:48.240 --> 01:01:52.341
I guess if we were to get a
request, we could ask our

b3fcd8ef-77be-40b3-8682-624f6d5b18f0-1
01:01:52.341 --> 01:01:54.240
offices if it's possible.

e7da184e-8e75-4e0e-8c55-d31801d8350b-0
01:02:00.550 --> 01:02:00.870
Thank you.

63f2fa02-743e-4a24-9374-9161b3ce2d62-0
01:02:01.710 --> 01:02:07.507
Next question to clarify, an
importer can request a ruling on

63f2fa02-743e-4a24-9374-9161b3ce2d62-1
01:02:07.507 --> 01:02:13.586
products already being imported,
but if the binding ruling comes

63f2fa02-743e-4a24-9374-9161b3ce2d62-2
01:02:13.586 --> 01:02:19.477
back with a new HTS they will
have to file PS CS for duty back

63f2fa02-743e-4a24-9374-9161b3ce2d62-3
01:02:19.477 --> 01:02:20.599
owed if any.

28a20483-b173-46c6-9c08-fa65e664dc46-0
01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:27.254
I would recommend that yes, if
you have unliquidated entries

28a20483-b173-46c6-9c08-fa65e664dc46-1
01:02:27.254 --> 01:02:32.385
and we know the classifications
incorrect, I think that would be

28a20483-b173-46c6-9c08-fa65e664dc46-2
01:02:32.385 --> 01:02:34.280
a good practice to take.

283de49e-50a5-42db-acdb-2db75766fa21-0
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:41.120
OK, next question.

b14e873b-867e-4f26-a225-3e492a747c43-0
01:02:41.120 --> 01:02:47.060
If a product is US origin in
parentheses, US manufactured be

b14e873b-867e-4f26-a225-3e492a747c43-1
01:02:47.060 --> 01:02:53.293
returned from a foreign country,
can a ruling be provided up to

b14e873b-867e-4f26-a225-3e492a747c43-2
01:02:53.293 --> 01:02:54.560
the 10 digit?

75e39cf6-6bf6-4044-a919-07c58a613130-0
01:02:58.280 --> 01:03:02.154
So I, I think that this is
asking for export rulings, am I

75e39cf6-6bf6-4044-a919-07c58a613130-1
01:03:02.154 --> 01:03:02.680
correct?

5977fb16-5ed8-4dc2-b2fc-6e3aa5608b0e-0
01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:06.309
We give information letters if
anything's going out of the

5977fb16-5ed8-4dc2-b2fc-6e3aa5608b0e-1
01:03:06.309 --> 01:03:08.240
United States to another
country.

bc08bf01-5369-4784-a168-0b9e5d993c26-0
01:03:08.520 --> 01:03:10.240
Those are not published across.

184e9d38-6136-4e6e-ba2b-f13e6bce338f-0
01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:14.200
We do issue rulings and we do,
but they're not called rulings.

6172d87f-9b82-4e1f-b846-97f5c9657582-0
01:03:14.200 --> 01:03:15.560
They're called information
letter.

9fbcbaa7-12dd-4c19-bd53-2bbf4eb82573-0
01:03:15.560 --> 01:03:19.989
So there it's a decision, but
it's not really considered a

9fbcbaa7-12dd-4c19-bd53-2bbf4eb82573-1
01:03:19.989 --> 01:03:21.040
ruling per SE.

92a35f18-abb6-4866-a9e3-de26d01e5bf4-0
01:03:21.320 --> 01:03:24.260
And that goes really for
exports, things that are coming

92a35f18-abb6-4866-a9e3-de26d01e5bf4-1
01:03:24.260 --> 01:03:25.240
out of the country.

ddd6238b-6f19-4a2d-aac6-89f47a0e8dff-0
01:03:25.520 --> 01:03:29.060
If it's AUS good return, return
and you know there's more

ddd6238b-6f19-4a2d-aac6-89f47a0e8dff-1
01:03:29.060 --> 01:03:32.600
complication with it, then that
would go to headquarters.

9cd95b91-aa27-4438-a2bd-3df3ca9b90f5-0
01:03:36.120 --> 01:03:36.640
OK.

e790b5fe-ed01-4652-b157-6cb70cdbca1e-0
01:03:38.160 --> 01:03:42.595
Our next question is if an
importer does not want to get a

e790b5fe-ed01-4652-b157-6cb70cdbca1e-1
01:03:42.595 --> 01:03:46.880
binding ruling, can we check the
HTS code and cross Gov?

3b01a6c2-41f7-40b2-97d3-3f433e1a579a-0
01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:53.743
That's the purpose of cross or
one of the purposes of cross is

3b01a6c2-41f7-40b2-97d3-3f433e1a579a-1
01:03:53.743 --> 01:03:57.346
to provide informed compliance
to the trade so that you can

3b01a6c2-41f7-40b2-97d3-3f433e1a579a-2
01:03:57.346 --> 01:04:00.650
look up products that are
similar to the ones that you

3b01a6c2-41f7-40b2-97d3-3f433e1a579a-3
01:04:00.650 --> 01:04:04.553
have and use cross as a basis to
make your determination of what

3b01a6c2-41f7-40b2-97d3-3f433e1a579a-4
01:04:04.553 --> 01:04:08.097
classification, country of
origin and free trade, whatever

3b01a6c2-41f7-40b2-97d3-3f433e1a579a-5
01:04:08.097 --> 01:04:11.159
that topic may be when you are
entering the goods.

a1337fa1-e6d1-4518-aa7b-d8406d7f6ce9-0
01:04:11.560 --> 01:04:16.400
I will say you know the one you
one downside to doing that is

a1337fa1-e6d1-4518-aa7b-d8406d7f6ce9-1
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:19.680
that you know, it may still be
different.

fb47cc8f-7682-41de-a9cf-4644b5280188-0
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:24.058
You know the product unless the
product is identical, there

fb47cc8f-7682-41de-a9cf-4644b5280188-1
01:04:24.058 --> 01:04:27.958
might be something that changes
the classification, but

fb47cc8f-7682-41de-a9cf-4644b5280188-2
01:04:27.958 --> 01:04:32.415
certainly that is why Cross is
out there, has all those rulings

fb47cc8f-7682-41de-a9cf-4644b5280188-3
01:04:32.415 --> 01:04:36.594
is a tremendous tool for both
the trade and for CBP and one

fb47cc8f-7682-41de-a9cf-4644b5280188-4
01:04:36.594 --> 01:04:40.912
that you know I would say all of
us have used probably 10s of

fb47cc8f-7682-41de-a9cf-4644b5280188-5
01:04:40.912 --> 01:04:43.279
thousands of times in our
career.

293a8acc-ded7-49ec-ac27-0100ff3347eb-0
01:04:49.020 --> 01:04:49.980
OK, thank you.

15db7b2a-10a1-48ff-be25-460bcb19eadd-0
01:04:50.780 --> 01:04:55.346
Next question, what happens when
there is a CIT court case

15db7b2a-10a1-48ff-be25-460bcb19eadd-1
01:04:55.346 --> 01:04:59.680
against a product in which a
ruling has been requested?

538831f6-82ae-4d78-93de-8d12a092d0d9-0
01:04:59.680 --> 01:05:04.080
Do you want me to answer that?

7bd2a2ae-05ad-430a-9550-d51fe46c8b42-0
01:05:04.080 --> 01:05:07.866
So basically we cannot issue
rulings if there's any issue

7bd2a2ae-05ad-430a-9550-d51fe46c8b42-1
01:05:07.866 --> 01:05:11.000
before the Court of
International Trade and the

7bd2a2ae-05ad-430a-9550-d51fe46c8b42-2
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:15.178
appellate court, any court or if
there's a current issue in the

7bd2a2ae-05ad-430a-9550-d51fe46c8b42-3
01:05:15.178 --> 01:05:16.680
field with the centers.

b5e01601-ddb9-4206-a59a-311164be5204-0
01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:20.740
So we don't want to be
infringing on what is

b5e01601-ddb9-4206-a59a-311164be5204-1
01:05:20.740 --> 01:05:23.680
transpiring between those
parties.

a148cba9-a295-4417-ac0f-150e85726975-0
01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:29.614
So we are only able to issue
rulings on things that are not

a148cba9-a295-4417-ac0f-150e85726975-1
01:05:29.614 --> 01:05:35.120
current issues before the court
or the trade with Center.

4cabf3b7-752d-437d-96b4-05b84c6f5197-0
01:05:35.240 --> 01:05:40.960
I should say thank you.

45e471dd-c8b2-4c4e-9d16-2a5db89cb66e-0
01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:47.976
Next question, someone else's
cross ruling is not 100% usable

45e471dd-c8b2-4c4e-9d16-2a5db89cb66e-1
01:05:47.976 --> 01:05:52.520
by anyone other than the party
to whom it was issued.

9387d951-8122-4dd5-8fc3-97eb00ec286b-0
01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:58.436
But again, what you're looking
at here I think is reasonable

9387d951-8122-4dd5-8fc3-97eb00ec286b-1
01:05:58.436 --> 01:05:59.120
care, right?

d35610e5-5938-4864-930e-db7fa6054bde-0
01:05:59.120 --> 01:06:02.320
So you want to show and that
that's where cross comes in.

e1c72e76-4139-437f-b622-ce65f29e4776-0
01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:06.289
You can show that these are the
rooms I looked at to make my

e1c72e76-4139-437f-b622-ce65f29e4776-1
01:06:06.289 --> 01:06:07.200
determination.

27687121-ce36-4d38-9933-60211299f64e-0
01:06:07.680 --> 01:06:11.123
And if it is, if they are
products that are very similar

27687121-ce36-4d38-9933-60211299f64e-1
01:06:11.123 --> 01:06:14.808
to what you're doing and then
you use those to come with it,

27687121-ce36-4d38-9933-60211299f64e-2
01:06:14.808 --> 01:06:18.372
come up with a determination,
you know, that's a very good

27687121-ce36-4d38-9933-60211299f64e-3
01:06:18.372 --> 01:06:22.360
argument that you use reasonable
care to make your determination.

e3fc0a2d-8eec-4f72-bd17-31a370c042bf-0
01:06:22.720 --> 01:06:27.140
So, you know, I think there's
there's a risk in not getting a

e3fc0a2d-8eec-4f72-bd17-31a370c042bf-1
01:06:27.140 --> 01:06:27.640
ruling.

e757526a-d540-4cf8-bdb5-5af997253760-0
01:06:27.640 --> 01:06:28.720
Is it a great risk?

a6166a29-1071-4713-b1dd-a8a7d622cf9f-0
01:06:28.720 --> 01:06:33.826
Not if the products are are very
similar, but to me the fact that

a6166a29-1071-4713-b1dd-a8a7d622cf9f-1
01:06:33.826 --> 01:06:38.701
we can turn them around in 30
days and then it can be specific

a6166a29-1071-4713-b1dd-a8a7d622cf9f-2
01:06:38.701 --> 01:06:42.880
to you is a benefit that really
you can't understate.

52daa595-6b39-4e38-80da-a8bd4cc17438-0
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:46.200
Just being sure of what you're
doing is correct.

9c8b161a-3795-4625-b34f-db69455aa07a-0
01:06:51.080 --> 01:06:51.640
Thank you.

c457bf12-ab39-4370-84e3-fb3938af71da-0
01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:57.104
Next question, cross Gov might
be for the HTS classification

c457bf12-ab39-4370-84e3-fb3938af71da-1
01:06:57.104 --> 01:06:59.800
for similar or identical items.

e5282d69-41b7-4a72-abcd-b78de966b579-0
01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:06.460
It will depend on the
description of the items that a

e5282d69-41b7-4a72-abcd-b78de966b579-1
01:07:06.460 --> 01:07:11.960
question that's a, that's an
accurate statement.

cd9eb4d4-dd2e-4449-b4c6-1a50533a1ac7-0
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:17.288
It all depends if Cross is
relative to your perspective

cd9eb4d4-dd2e-4449-b4c6-1a50533a1ac7-1
01:07:17.288 --> 01:07:17.920
shipment.

c1ea6e3e-bd8b-4769-9222-3b9e69761a30-0
01:07:18.040 --> 01:07:21.875
If you feel that the ruling you
found in Cross is the same

c1ea6e3e-bd8b-4769-9222-3b9e69761a30-1
01:07:21.875 --> 01:07:23.760
thing, then you could use it.

bddbcf92-efec-40e7-8835-a9eac94eecd9-0
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:27.987
If not, as Steve just mentioned
and Jim showed, it's a very easy

bddbcf92-efec-40e7-8835-a9eac94eecd9-1
01:07:27.987 --> 01:07:32.084
process to request an E ruling
and we turn it around less than

bddbcf92-efec-40e7-8835-a9eac94eecd9-2
01:07:32.084 --> 01:07:35.986
30 days and you have a guarantee
then that would be legally

bddbcf92-efec-40e7-8835-a9eac94eecd9-3
01:07:35.986 --> 01:07:40.018
binding on CBP and the tree that
that would be relative, that

bddbcf92-efec-40e7-8835-a9eac94eecd9-4
01:07:40.018 --> 01:07:43.920
classification would be relative
to your specific scenario.

a9894973-9793-4789-b020-8f45c0a15a10-0
01:07:51.530 --> 01:07:55.850
OK, that looks like all the
questions we have.

3e9609eb-18fe-4627-bfb8-b354c388124c-0
01:07:56.930 --> 01:08:11.251
If anyone else has an additional
question, please put it in the

3e9609eb-18fe-4627-bfb8-b354c388124c-1
01:08:11.251 --> 01:08:14.160
chat now, OK?

c6cd5ff8-8ea6-42d4-aa61-3104ce21565c-0
01:08:14.560 --> 01:08:17.600
I don't see anything else coming
through at this point.

f41c1938-7816-4ea6-beaa-864906051890-0
01:08:20.960 --> 01:08:21.360
OK.

eab2a4ff-fef5-414b-92bd-1403dce75aa4-0
01:08:22.440 --> 01:08:25.960
So I just want to thank you all
for attending.

a18e4c6d-77c6-4414-9415-9b5f8c4ffa42-0
01:08:26.440 --> 01:08:29.722
And I really, you know, we've
been wanting to do something

a18e4c6d-77c6-4414-9415-9b5f8c4ffa42-1
01:08:29.722 --> 01:08:32.560
with smaller businesses for a
very long time here.

eaa883ba-e427-4cee-ba99-323072736c96-0
01:08:33.040 --> 01:08:35.960
And we finally, finally got it
done.

31907c05-342d-4cc5-882b-99a03a47baf8-0
01:08:36.400 --> 01:08:39.434
And really, I would, I would
really love to see this reach

31907c05-342d-4cc5-882b-99a03a47baf8-1
01:08:39.434 --> 01:08:42.365
out to all of the smaller
importers so that they can see

31907c05-342d-4cc5-882b-99a03a47baf8-2
01:08:42.365 --> 01:08:43.240
what we're doing.

227de7a6-05e1-4c1c-95d2-224b383b88d1-0
01:08:43.240 --> 01:08:47.706
If they don't know and, and know
the importance of doing things

227de7a6-05e1-4c1c-95d2-224b383b88d1-1
01:08:47.706 --> 01:08:51.963
right and have No Fear of, of
asking the question because we

227de7a6-05e1-4c1c-95d2-224b383b88d1-2
01:08:51.963 --> 01:08:53.080
don't, we don't.

0e6e7577-28f9-4c1d-a4d6-a6a87065e6de-0
01:08:54.040 --> 01:08:57.504
Our position doesn't change
whether CBP, whether the center

0e6e7577-28f9-4c1d-a4d6-a6a87065e6de-1
01:08:57.504 --> 01:09:01.084
wants it to be classified one
way or the trade wants it to be

0e6e7577-28f9-4c1d-a4d6-a6a87065e6de-2
01:09:01.084 --> 01:09:01.720
classified.

81607c2d-2465-4323-9013-abdb507241a3-0
01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:06.861
We look at the product, we make
our determination and we base it

81607c2d-2465-4323-9013-abdb507241a3-1
01:09:06.861 --> 01:09:11.200
on past, past precedent and what
the product actually is.

fd14ebd1-7106-46ad-8638-547f0dcf696a-0
01:09:11.200 --> 01:09:15.089
And sometimes that makes CVP
unhappy and sometimes it makes

fd14ebd1-7106-46ad-8638-547f0dcf696a-1
01:09:15.089 --> 01:09:16.840
the requester not so happy.

5522067f-1170-4957-bbc0-acec182e6033-0
01:09:17.200 --> 01:09:19.826
But that's how we how we do
things and that's how our

5522067f-1170-4957-bbc0-acec182e6033-1
01:09:19.826 --> 01:09:21.480
headquarters does things as
well.

38c51a88-ec0f-43c3-8f66-44c5ac9ce237-0
01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:26.531
And, you know, we understand
that, you know, the people here

38c51a88-ec0f-43c3-8f66-44c5ac9ce237-1
01:09:26.531 --> 01:09:29.480
are trying to import things
correctly.

ec43ade7-62bd-4e1d-baad-d2c17f0ecd30-0
01:09:29.480 --> 01:09:33.497
You want to import your goods
legally and lawfully, and we

ec43ade7-62bd-4e1d-baad-d2c17f0ecd30-1
01:09:33.497 --> 01:09:35.200
want to help you do that.

34afc0c4-297b-448f-85cf-bc0a201d7aa0-0
01:09:35.480 --> 01:09:39.160
So together, we can beat both of
our goals.

be0e0ae6-6536-4f5b-a7e1-1ed2e759c7ae-0
01:09:39.480 --> 01:09:40.520
Thank you very much.

9e97b071-3b00-4b2d-a39d-675517964379-0
01:09:45.560 --> 01:09:47.680
Steve, are you going to make a
couple of comments?

74d8f77d-c4b6-4d6f-8bd6-3408a9714103-0
01:09:56.640 --> 01:09:58.800
This concludes our webinar for
this afternoon.

9e0a8c35-8601-433a-ab85-6728550f18c6-0
01:09:59.040 --> 01:10:02.397
This is a reminder that this
webinar will be posted on the

9e0a8c35-8601-433a-ab85-6728550f18c6-1
01:10:02.397 --> 01:10:03.080
CBP website.

294ebcfb-0b36-4c3c-9cae-c2479067f913-0
01:10:03.360 --> 01:10:05.920
Thank you for joining us and
enjoy the rest of your day.
