00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:50.149
However,
due to the complex nature of

00:01:50.149 --> 00:01:53.886

This is the first of a couple of our
disclaimers.

b00cc150-31df-43c2-8243-2e627aa6e673-0

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:05.034
And because of the many complicated
factors involved in customs issues,

de9df6d2-0e16-4ea2-8a81-16a9b35a019a-1
00:03:05.034 --> 00:03:07.720

or (b) which points to headed subheading
3923.40.

50283f07-9969-4bdc-a18b-fb9a9bd0c707-0
00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:18.000

magnetic tape are listed here,

7a899e61-9305-409a-9d4e-9738e31adc13-1
00:04:23.052 --> 00:04:27.162
but as of the Technicolor video cassette
versus US in 1995,

7a899e61-9305-409a-9d4e-9738e31adc13-2
00:04:27.162 --> 00:04:30.039
they're considered parts of the apparatus.

2ee3caae-bfe0-4441-ac01-040e55e6a460-0

87905662-7ff7-4596-a30b-874812664cfe-0
00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:47.220
These terms are confined to closures,
and they must be closures with some type

87905662-7ff7-4596-a30b-874812664cfe-1
00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:53.440
of container or similar article used for
the conveyance or packing of goods only.

00e02b7d-0da2-4af1-809f-44c13c16354e-0
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:59.519
As of Jing Mei Automotive versus

00:05:03.235 --> 00:05:09.352

00:05:15.392 --> 00:05:17.560
or conveyance of goods only.

f82181a7-0264-4d11-8b1c-8d1c8a3f1a7a-0
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:24.473
Although there are inconsistent rulings
involving the scope of stoppers, lids,

f82181a7-0264-4d11-8b1c-8d1c8a3f1a7a-1
00:05:24.473 --> 00:05:27.956
caps,
and other closures under heading 3923,

f82181a7-0264-4d11-8b1c-8d1c8a3f1a7a-2
00:05:27.956 --> 00:05:33.915
all prior CBP rulings that contradict
Jing Mei are now considered revoked or

f82181a7-0264-4d11-8b1c-8d1c8a3f1a7a-3
00:05:33.915 --> 00:05:36.159
modified by operation of law.

8ecaf90f-2e30-4d25-a441-711f98cf494a-0
00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:51.160
So heading 3923.10 includes is covers
boxes, crates, etcetera.

9402477b-cad0-4fb2-bad1-85fe6809d882-0
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.240

used for international transport of bulk

9402477b-cad0-4fb2-bad1-85fe6809d882-1
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:57.480
or commercial goods.

1972b859-486d-4874-b2f5-b4f1dd91c149-0
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.280
The box may be used multiple times to
ship goods.

dbf53fd4-c0ca-4e4d-ae5e-3a4023fd8ca0-0
00:06:05.640 --> 00:06:11.479
It covers both disposable and reusable
boxes and crates and those can be of

dbf53fd4-c0ca-4e4d-ae5e-3a4023fd8ca0-1
00:06:11.479 --> 00:06:13.400
substantial construction.

744b6e07-4312-4766-8886-30b311c4d3df-0
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:25.250
3923.10 does cover make it empty cosmetic
compacts that are used to convey the

00:06:25.250 --> 00:06:27.600
cosmetic to the consumer.

575c93b5-c82c-4f31-b11b-376101e7b41d-0
00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:33.874
So these empty compacts with or without a
mirror in the lid are articles of Chapter

575c93b5-c82c-4f31-b11b-376101e7b41d-1
00:06:33.874 --> 00:06:35.840
39 and they fall in 3923.10.

4705ba47-ad64-4d6d-a50b-2ac6e374fd0d-0
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.077
To note,
are the three rulings listed here New

4705ba47-ad64-4d6d-a50b-2ac6e374fd0d-1
00:06:41.077 --> 00:06:41.520
York

bbcd2968-53c1-4415-98b7-9a4920ca6bf6-0
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:50.840
They're all New York rulings N3O5418;
I81195; M82187.

b25724bb-efbf-4b7e-b21a-8d9864421d50-0
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.440
Those are just a couple for reference.

dadffcf4-c14d-4c33-a9e0-04f4221b9f97-0
00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:01.475
So as we continue on in the scope of 3923,
like I said, we had boxes, cases,

dadffcf4-c14d-4c33-a9e0-04f4221b9f97-1
00:07:01.475 --> 00:07:02.200
and crates.

15e2af54-9eee-462b-b324-400441fd91d5-0
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:08.280
Next would be sacks and bags,
including cones and refuse sacks.

5e65014e-6ddf-42e2-b19e-3d8d1310f6d6-0
00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:14.200
One such item is disposable packaging
bags.

749467d8-5372-41a9-ad77-2791025b3e9c-0
00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:19.080
Ordinary disposable packaging bags is
that are made of plastics.

7334a434-8bbc-4452-a8c2-0c1b3b0bad16-0
00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:23.847
For instance,
potato chip bags are considered packaging

7334a434-8bbc-4452-a8c2-0c1b3b0bad16-1
00:07:23.847 --> 00:07:24.880
bags of 3923.

8acef333-8b6f-47ab-8897-dea77024e938-0
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.440
3923 also includes refuse sacks.

02153eaa-e8e4-485f-9a16-b898d5e2668d-0
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:38.281
You typically don't think of trash bags
as holding retail goods or bulk or

02153eaa-e8e4-485f-9a16-b898d5e2668d-1
00:07:38.281 --> 00:07:43.003
commercial goods,
but refuse sacks are listed in the

00:07:43.003 --> 00:07:47.280
explanatory notes to 3923 as included
articles.

00:07:47.760 --> 00:07:53.124
If they're polyethylene,
they would fall under 3923.21,

92de69dc-1823-4b2a-8b95-c0bd0ed8d5d3-1
00:07:53.124 --> 00:07:59.160
and if there are other plastics they
would fall under 3923.29.

69c5dc53-4946-4766-809c-75ec312fe498-0
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.080
As I said,
trash bags and other disposable bags.

e26df42f-7698-4f11-8453-96cbca817d0b-0
00:08:06.520 --> 00:08:10.040
Here's some rulings associated with these.

13fe6560-6ef8-46ed-a373-57818822ad9d-0
00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:15.154
Specifically the trash bags,
pet waste bags,

13fe6560-6ef8-46ed-a373-57818822ad9d-1
00:08:15.154 --> 00:08:20.680
even oven bags or like the crock pot
liner bags.

a94f3d29-eb84-4a95-bfd8-8011430317f1-0
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.320
Those type things all fall in these
headings as well.

c022721e-aba3-473e-858b-848022c504d9-0
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:32.440
A shopping bag that is not designed for
prolonged use falls in 3923.

5f11f5fe-8377-40d9-8699-ff2c707496bc-0
00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:39.080
They are.

b73a3c3f-1f70-4a10-9103-7595d526b192-0
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:44.800
The chapter 42, note 3(A) notes this
exclusion.

4f14073c-ec01-4483-8909-d4bc6f7ed716-0
00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:50.684
It says heading 42O2 does not cover bags
made of sheeting of plastics,

4f14073c-ec01-4483-8909-d4bc6f7ed716-1
00:08:50.684 --> 00:08:56.320
whether or not printed with handles not
designed for prolonged use.

35bdc49e-cd4c-48c9-9893-df53a869841d-0
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:02.158
So these are typically disposable
shopping bags, merchant merchandise bags,

35bdc49e-cd4c-48c9-9893-df53a869841d-1
00:09:02.158 --> 00:09:07.920
or bags of a type given out at retail
stores for conveying purchases home.

1403fd1a-dfd0-4409-9f1f-126277f5af37-0
00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:12.808
They are generally not designed for
prolonged use and are generally

1403fd1a-dfd0-4409-9f1f-126277f5af37-1
00:09:12.808 --> 00:09:13.560
classifiable in 3923.

41f352cf-8515-40a4-a1f4-2e3d449c42c2-0
00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:22.614
If polyethylene, they'll be 3923.
21 and if there are other plastics they

41f352cf-8515-40a4-a1f4-2e3d449c42c2-1
00:09:22.614 --> 00:09:24.360
will be 3923.29.

0492badc-3866-4b46-b6e7-aea8c58642e9-0
00:09:27.160 --> 00:09:30.440
Something that comes up is polypropylene
shopping bags.

c93301ae-10be-445a-a000-b5bfb3b3e61c-0
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:37.041
Shopping and merchandise bags made of
polypropylene plastic sheeting are

c93301ae-10be-445a-a000-b5bfb3b3e61c-1
00:09:37.041 --> 00:09:43.000
generally not suitable for prolonged use
and are classified in 3923.29.

194e18bb-cf68-468e-914a-e0fc522458b4-0
00:09:43.640 --> 00:09:47.297
However,
many bags that are invoiced as

194e18bb-cf68-468e-914a-e0fc522458b4-1
00:09:47.297 --> 00:09:54.520
polypropylene shopping bags are actually
made of spun bonded polypropylene and

194e18bb-cf68-468e-914a-e0fc522458b4-2
00:09:54.520 --> 00:10:01.925
spun bonded polypropylene also is known
as non woven polypropylene and that is a

194e18bb-cf68-468e-914a-e0fc522458b4-3
00:10:01.925 --> 00:10:03.480
textile material.

76f80206-f7f3-4a8c-96d7-9a198b1672e3-0
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:09.562
Close examination of it will show you
that it has a fibrous nature and if

76f80206-f7f3-4a8c-96d7-9a198b1672e3-1
00:10:09.562 --> 00:10:12.720
manipulated you can pull apart the fibers.

0063232a-7662-497a-8ce9-ea3b17fd40a1-0
00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:17.782
If an article is made of spun bonded
polypropylene,

0063232a-7662-497a-8ce9-ea3b17fd40a1-1
00:10:17.782 --> 00:10:23.560
it cannot be classified in chapter 39
because it is not plastic.

50d67f77-1372-45ea-8808-632a889a357a-0
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.599
Some other things that are classified in
3923 gift bags and like the parties loot

50d67f77-1372-45ea-8808-632a889a357a-1
00:10:31.599 --> 00:10:31.800
treat

880fd351-3514-497c-8030-feefaa21ef69-0
00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:36.920
bags.
They're treated as ordinary packing bags.

7b096c5c-1cdc-4707-9fdf-ed304b123533-0
00:10:37.640 --> 00:10:42.680
So if they're polyethylene 3923.21;
If other plastics, 

a9ffd150-8e13-4dab-aa2a-e03c11430d1e-0
00:10:42.680 --> 00:10:49.476
3923.29.
Also cited some of the rulings in

a9ffd150-8e13-4dab-aa2a-e03c11430d1e-1
00:10:49.476 --> 00:10:55.640
Cross for these items. Recloseable bags:

cd10fa99-524d-45ba-9789-13105971ba13-0
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.841
So disposable recloseable bags belong to
a class or kind of bag used to pack,

cd10fa99-524d-45ba-9789-13105971ba13-1
00:11:01.841 --> 00:11:05.240
store, convey,
even if sold as sandwich bags.

0ea9eb15-14fd-4abd-8b0d-c2392a74fa18-0
00:11:06.760 --> 00:11:11.849
They are also in 3923.
There's a headquarters ruling and also

0ea9eb15-14fd-4abd-8b0d-c2392a74fa18-1
00:11:11.849 --> 00:11:14.640
the SC Johnson and Son versus U.S.

00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:28.728
does note that these recloseable
sandwich bags fall here in this

3a4978ea-f3bb-40a1-b41e-0e7042b5df50-1
00:11:28.728 --> 00:11:35.680
subheading. Poly vinyl chloride packing
bags:

730c6b2f-a31a-4bdf-9bda-cdd14c9ee967-0
00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:40.891
Typically,
PVC is a more durable type of plastic

730c6b2f-a31a-4bdf-9bda-cdd14c9ee967-1
00:11:40.891 --> 00:11:41.760
material.

753803cd-2e23-49e7-adc4-d967c1009650-0
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:50.040
Most bags made of PVC are suitable for
prolonged use and are classified outside

753803cd-2e23-49e7-adc4-d967c1009650-1
00:11:50.040 --> 00:11:50.800
of 3923.

00:11:51.160 --> 00:11:52.120
There's a ruling here:

e736e2fb-46a5-4a0a-a495-a8340655e38e-0
00:11:52.120 --> 00:12:00.876
Headquarters W968181 describes that PVC
that is 4 mils or greater is considered

e736e2fb-46a5-4a0a-a495-a8340655e38e-1
00:12:00.876 --> 00:12:04.400
to be suitable for prolonged use.

da4a614d-854f-4b28-ba0f-24066e0dfae3-0
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:08.320
How do we measure these thicknesses?

a41050f6-7086-4e15-a5f5-8b04aee622d5-0
00:12:08.640 --> 00:12:09.600
A micrometer.

0365b208-ed44-4891-9605-9654eb3c3345-0
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.960
It is used to measure the thickness of
these plastics.

6909b6c2-10ca-4672-9fdc-0d52de16a627-0
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:19.160
Thicknesses are reported as mils in
mils or gauge.

ddfe8291-b7fc-4ac6-a85e-c8cd58f655c2-0
00:12:19.520 --> 00:12:23.080
One mil is 1/1000 of an inch.

1120b2a0-0c11-4fbe-8843-b7caf8ebb349-0
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:29.800
Do not confuse mils with millimeters.
Those are different measurements.

4821dfed-7bd3-40d6-a541-6d9cc20c0c23-0
00:12:29.800 --> 00:12:40.840
One mil is actually
0.0254mm and 1 gauge is 0.01 mils.

a5534282-c93e-4330-92f9-12854ecef7e4-0
00:12:41.760 --> 00:12:51.382
And so here I put the equivalent, so 1
mil equals 100 gauge equals 25 microns

a5534282-c93e-4330-92f9-12854ecef7e4-1
00:12:51.382 --> 00:12:54.960
equals .0254mm = .001 inches.

c5ebf860-5bf9-4c55-ad7b-513bbe9212f2-0
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:02.457
So if it's a PVC packing bag and it's
less than four mils in thickness and

c5ebf860-5bf9-4c55-ad7b-513bbe9212f2-1
00:13:02.457 --> 00:13:08.554
it's so not substantial construction,
but it is of a type used for packing,

c5ebf860-5bf9-4c55-ad7b-513bbe9212f2-2
00:13:08.554 --> 00:13:10.559
it would fall in 3923.29.

481b9b28-6c4e-43c4-a1e5-4ae137b021e1-0
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:17.960
We have a PVC packing bag is over 4
mils in thickness.

68c90cc3-e7a9-4a37-aa7c-034d3e2ae5fc-0
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:21.800
It would be considered to be of
substantial construction.

9d4b24b7-1ed6-428d-adff-4fd0130dce99-0
00:13:22.680 --> 00:13:27.874
You see these a lot for household storage
of black blankets, comforters,

9d4b24b7-1ed6-428d-adff-4fd0130dce99-1
00:13:27.874 --> 00:13:29.440
things of that nature.

55b54974-c2db-4d66-b6c7-31a339677c2a-0
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:37.040
Those are typically classified in 3924,
not in 3923 or 42O2.

b8717469-622c-4cfc-81e6-d7c945c32a7f-0
00:13:40.400 --> 00:13:43.000
These are hanger or hook type bags.

82263421-45d0-4374-8b63-07188bccf63c-0
00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:47.170
They are bags that have a built in
hanging hook, a tab,

82263421-45d0-4374-8b63-07188bccf63c-1
00:13:47.170 --> 00:13:53.071
or some type of grommet that will allow
the bag to hang on a retail display for

82263421-45d0-4374-8b63-07188bccf63c-2
00:13:53.071 --> 00:13:53.440
sale.

fe12697b-c7cd-4626-a3d2-3c98feefc7b6-0
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.360
These bags are not typically sold on
their own.

f7791fd6-dde4-4e4d-8d08-f76621d93bf6-0
00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:05.373
These are classifiable in 3923 even if
they are of substantial construction, as

f7791fd6-dde4-4e4d-8d08-f76621d93bf6-1
00:14:05.373 --> 00:14:11.400
their primary function is the marketing
of items for retail sale.

386dde47-c22b-40b5-8e7e-24eeb39ba0e9-0
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:20.017
Produce packing bags are the mesh like
bags that you see used to pack produce

386dde47-c22b-40b5-8e7e-24eeb39ba0e9-1
00:14:20.017 --> 00:14:21.920
like vegetables or fruit.

5cb98156-397a-45e5-92ac-c442fbf01e2c-0
00:14:22.280 --> 00:14:28.200
They do fall in 3923 but only if they are
made of plastic.

558808d5-d9b0-4fc9-ab2c-b2ef838b4484-0
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:35.958
If they are textile,
then they would be classified in 6305.

558808d5-d9b0-4fc9-ab2c-b2ef838b4484-1
00:14:35.958 --> 00:14:39.520
Woven textile strip fabric:

a79aceb4-8258-4149-96e8-44e1da340755-0
00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:46.560
If it's coated visibly on both sides with
plastic, it will be classified in 3921.

292bfdd8-4c83-430a-9dd0-93b1d8f64b1e-0
00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:51.345
Therefore,
any article made of those type materials

292bfdd8-4c83-430a-9dd0-93b1d8f64b1e-1
00:14:51.345 --> 00:14:58.432
are considered to be packed plastic and
therefore packaging that bags of this

292bfdd8-4c83-430a-9dd0-93b1d8f64b1e-2
00:14:58.432 --> 00:15:05.702
material would be in 3923. Something that
comes up quite frequently as flexible

292bfdd8-4c83-430a-9dd0-93b1d8f64b1e-3
00:15:05.702 --> 00:15:09.200
intermediate bulk containers or FIBCs.

0e5778f3-ffc0-45f8-8e3e-a2de3f230617-0
00:15:09.640 --> 00:15:16.163
They are generally made of woven textile
strip fabric and usually it is only

0e5778f3-ffc0-45f8-8e3e-a2de3f230617-1
00:15:16.163 --> 00:15:22.517
coated on one side with plastic,
so it would be classified outside of 3923

0e5778f3-ffc0-45f8-8e3e-a2de3f230617-2
00:15:22.517 --> 00:15:23.280
and 6305.

0ed3893d-28e8-41fd-973d-3c99f4f2750d-0
00:15:23.800 --> 00:15:28.704
However,
if that bag material is coated on both

0ed3893d-28e8-41fd-973d-3c99f4f2750d-1
00:15:28.704 --> 00:15:34.120
sides visibly with plastic,
they would fall in 3923.

e8618a1c-69c5-4d9b-84c5-960110484387-0
00:15:41.520 --> 00:15:47.212
So, if packaging bags of strip,
if those were made of woven polypropylene

e8618a1c-69c5-4d9b-84c5-960110484387-1
00:15:47.212 --> 00:15:53.061
strips or different types of woven,
typically it's woven polypropylene,

e8618a1c-69c5-4d9b-84c5-960110484387-2
00:15:53.061 --> 00:15:56.960
but it could be any type of polypropylene
strips.

27b1c311-0f2a-4f99-9836-bfa73ca8ced3-0
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:05.496
One thing to note is that if the strips
are not over 5mm in width,

27b1c311-0f2a-4f99-9836-bfa73ca8ced3-1
00:16:05.496 --> 00:16:12.879
those strips are would be
considered fabric made from those strips

27b1c311-0f2a-4f99-9836-bfa73ca8ced3-2
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.430
will be considered to be a textile
uncoated,

27b1c311-0f2a-4f99-9836-bfa73ca8ced3-3
00:16:17.430 --> 00:16:23.600
coated on what side or coated on both
sides but not visible.

d9bf8cd4-8b5d-4a73-9067-2c746c300013-0
00:16:24.040 --> 00:16:27.640
That material would be a textile 63O5.

ffa470eb-08b9-40cf-8481-fcb699550e7f-0
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:36.356
If the strips are woven together are over
5mm that is considered platting material

ffa470eb-08b9-40cf-8481-fcb699550e7f-1
00:16:36.356 --> 00:16:44.083
and items of platting material wouldn't
would be classified outside of 3923 even

ffa470eb-08b9-40cf-8481-fcb699550e7f-2
00:16:44.083 --> 00:16:51.809
if they were coated on both sides with
plastics and those items would be in

ffa470eb-08b9-40cf-8481-fcb699550e7f-3
00:16:51.809 --> 00:16:51.999
4602.

112f8ad6-06aa-41ad-8ab1-ce015043bbdc-0
00:16:53.200 --> 00:17:00.520
3923 is when that strip fabric has been
visibly coated with plastic on both sides.

0d20b850-6022-42c3-a292-85c3b889c6ae-0
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:11.240
Then they fall within the subheading and
heading 3923 as packaging bags.

97479569-502f-45f8-82a3-5aafe7256b02-0
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:19.800
Something that gets brought up a lot is
cone and basically these bags are those

97479569-502f-45f8-82a3-5aafe7256b02-1
00:17:19.800 --> 00:17:25.721
cone shaped bags that you see in when you
hold flower arrangements in the grocery

97479569-502f-45f8-82a3-5aafe7256b02-2
00:17:25.721 --> 00:17:26.160
store.

92e53ad3-44b6-4962-933a-921c0d33a3b5-0
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.160
Sometimes they're you know,
they hold popcorn or some types of candy.

818d12f1-8484-4072-9153-cc4b2b928215-0
00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:38.939
If they're used for packaging of those
type things,

818d12f1-8484-4072-9153-cc4b2b928215-1
00:17:38.939 --> 00:17:46.160
then they would fall in 3923.21 if
that polyethylene, 29 if other plastics.

8d811eb2-a18f-4716-a997-a85f94af21a8-0
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.067
And like I said,
there is a headquarters ruling cited here

8d811eb2-a18f-4716-a997-a85f94af21a8-1
00:17:50.067 --> 00:17:50.920
to show that.

24b77ef8-59a1-48ca-85e6-76acfcffcff3-0
00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:12.240
So we have an AD/CVD is present for some
bags of heading 3923.

deea1871-8ae4-493a-bc7b-59c7fdf0f491-0
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:20.147
One case is case A570-886 which is for
polyethylene retail carrier bags from the

deea1871-8ae4-493a-bc7b-59c7fdf0f491-1
00:18:20.147 --> 00:18:22.920
People's Republic of China.

16e5b134-7406-4b88-a825-b8d14a6e2ce6-0
00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:29.872
I will not go into the entire scope here,
just to make you aware that it is present

16e5b134-7406-4b88-a825-b8d14a6e2ce6-1
00:18:29.872 --> 00:18:32.560
in polyethylene retail carrier bags.

40d6e1d0-b86d-4034-8494-88118739d4d3-0
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:40.000
And then we have A-570-916 or C-570-917.

f6e4fee6-a9e9-4fbb-bb3c-ee60c93f332f-0
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:45.193
So this case has both anti-dumping and
countervailing duties on laminated woven

f6e4fee6-a9e9-4fbb-bb3c-ee60c93f332f-1
00:18:45.193 --> 00:18:47.920
sacks from the People's Republic of China.

eef968c4-8b37-4059-b50f-e47eff744d95-0
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:54.037
Another thing to note about the laminated
woven sacks case is that there are

eef968c4-8b37-4059-b50f-e47eff744d95-1
00:18:54.037 --> 00:18:56.040
numerous third country cases.

42d8ae50-a415-41ca-b98f-e257fdb7a35a-0
00:18:56.600 --> 00:19:08.480
From Korea it would be A-580-863,
Hong Kong would be A-582-804,

42d8ae50-a415-41ca-b98f-e257fdb7a35a-1
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:24.960
India is A-533-850, Kyrgyzstan is A-463-504,
Pakistan is A-535-9O1, Taiwan is A-583-846,

42d8ae50-a415-41ca-b98f-e257fdb7a35a-2
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:29.560
and Vietnam is A-552-807.

b1a36ba0-5ef3-4762-b1ef-792bf2495d03-0
00:19:34.800 --> 00:19:40.180
Note that neither headquarters nor the
National Commodity Specialist

b1a36ba0-5ef3-4762-b1ef-792bf2495d03-1
00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:45.560
Division issue rulings regarding anti-
dumping or countervailing duty cases.

5d169a8d-8487-48e6-a7aa-63db78d14a36-0
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:51.506
Jurisdiction for anti-dumping and
countervailing lies with the Department

5d169a8d-8487-48e6-a7aa-63db78d14a36-1
00:19:51.506 --> 00:19:52.360

28ca77a7-3c8d-4e8c-afa4-6af9bbd22876-0
00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:59.352
When importers request whether their
goods are subject to AD/CVD, CBP cannot

00:19:59.352 --> 00:20:04.920

may be subject in a ruling.

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:11.391
For instance, water bottles, soda bottles,
bleach bottles, are classifiable in 3923.

e6fcd192-76a4-4727-a9b4-15dac02606e5-1
00:21:11.391 --> 00:21:11.640

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:19.305
This subheading does not include empty
bottles that are marketed for

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:28.139
For example,
when you can buy the small empty travel

6ad1fc4c-fad7-483d-a8f9-00a034a4594b-1
00:21:28.139 --> 00:21:34.620

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:45.466
If they're designed and sold to the
consumer directly,

00:21:45.466 --> 00:21:47.600
they do not fall in 3923.30.

0f69c870-44e1-4a8d-bceb-51686a3f87fd-0
00:21:50.360 --> 00:21:52.960
Get these questions this question

00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.640
What is a bottle preform?

04fa0f97-3be7-4c09-ac30-bf169198130b-0
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.965
And so here at you know,
you see some photos of of what a bottle

04fa0f97-3be7-4c09-ac30-bf169198130b-1
00:22:00.965 --> 00:22:02.160
preform looks like.

6b473838-88c1-477a-8471-30bfa8abd47f-0
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:03.280
They are typical.

5e7717ec-6192-4bb5-b546-7126794c5181-0
00:22:03.280 --> 00:22:04.480
They're tubular shape.

21eb934b-a327-40de-8a55-a14cafbc40d4-0
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.320
They usually have a closed in and one
threaded in.

ced18f57-d797-4b37-b2e0-01fcb188cdff-0
00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:11.720
They expand during production to form the
finished bottles.

00:22:12.520 --> 00:22:17.027
Obviously they're heated and an air
is shaped into a mold and then they form

38af5a8c-5041-4974-a97d-9f4ad0fd013f-1
00:22:17.027 --> 00:22:17.640
the bottle.

c49b6c97-47bd-41dd-9ca4-efccbc8507b7-0
00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:25.128
The explanatory notes to heading 3923
provide that preforms are classifiable as

c49b6c97-47bd-41dd-9ca4-efccbc8507b7-1
00:22:25.128 --> 00:22:26.800
an unfinished bottle.

00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:35.600

Cops, bobbins, and similar supports.

f94ef16b-b9ce-41e5-9fe3-d997fb707fab-0
00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:45.225
These are used for packaging goods such
as thread, wire,

f94ef16b-b9ce-41e5-9fe3-d997fb707fab-1
00:22:45.225 --> 00:22:51.640
cables and those are classifiable in 3923.
40, if they are empty.

fb0e5045-738e-4db4-ac54-6bf62c66accd-0
00:22:52.520 --> 00:23:02.812
If they have material wound onto them,
they are they are classified as the

fb0e5045-738e-4db4-ac54-6bf62c66accd-1
00:23:02.812 --> 00:23:10.360

carry.

00:23:10.360 --> 00:23:11.520
In 3923.90, we cover

605142e2-7f2d-49e6-a966-942f5a495656-0
00:23:11.520 --> 00:23:22.160
all the containers other than cases, bags,
bottles, and spools were used for packing

605142e2-7f2d-49e6-a966-942f5a495656-1
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.200
and conveyance of goods.

195249eb-9cf9-4813-85ed-933350eac3ce-0
00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:31.800
The key to 3923 in general is the pop
products are imported empty.

f84d4dcc-4d03-49ea-b3d1-20a97efe5fd3-0
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.240
Product is added after importation.

232548d6-d755-4647-ac97-c0fee2a21de0-0
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:42.600
If they are imported with product in them,
for instance: shampoo, lotion, lipstick,

232548d6-d755-4647-ac97-c0fee2a21de0-1
00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:47.080
glue, etcetera,
then the package is classified with the

232548d6-d755-4647-ac97-c0fee2a21de0-2
00:23:47.080 --> 00:23:47.720
product.

c1d5ca06-0665-4388-9b6e-574e9bf74142-0
00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:59.596
OK, So we're at the time now, I mean,
I speed through that,

c1d5ca06-0665-4388-9b6e-574e9bf74142-1
00:23:59.596 --> 00:24:02.780
so I hope I didn't lose any of you.

e4db3cb4-1107-4197-b7cb-c88b261e47a3-0
00:24:02.780 --> 00:24:06.620
But this slide contains our contact
information.

00:24:07.140 --> 00:24:12.820
It also contains your continuing
education credit information.

8ed4e7fc-5793-4320-874b-201ea0fd2e69-0
00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:30.980
The code for the continuing education for
this webinar is CBP-042025

8ed4e7fc-5793-4320-874b-201ea0fd2e69-1
00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:33.800

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:40.440
And so now I'm going to open the floor
for questions.

5ad55ac5-3e6c-42a5-803f-6ccb47c85e39-0
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:44.440
OK, you do have a couple of questions.

661cc655-45a8-40cc-95b3-ec42c6841c88-0
00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:52.080
The first one is spun is spun bonded
polypropylene.

b9eb3434-ca67-42f4-b399-4332de2c9d96-0
00:24:52.080 --> 00:24:56.320
Sorry,
is spun bonded polypropylene similar to

b9eb3434-ca67-42f4-b399-4332de2c9d96-1
00:24:56.320 --> 00:24:58.440
laminated woven sacks?

7b655562-9ddc-4aef-a964-3e5f1657ff07-0
00:24:59.360 --> 00:25:04.445
No,
it is not spun bonded polypropylene is a

7b655562-9ddc-4aef-a964-3e5f1657ff07-1
00:25:04.445 --> 00:25:06.480
non woven product.

5b8e9b0b-06f3-471a-95e7-0519d677e2eb-0
00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:13.120
It's like the the non woven shopping bags
that you see a lot of the stores sell.

568e19d1-22c0-4b0c-8cf5-c6666cebf3ba-0
00:25:13.120 --> 00:25:15.499
It's more of a,
and I can't tell you exactly how it's

568e19d1-22c0-4b0c-8cf5-c6666cebf3ba-1
00:25:15.499 --> 00:25:15.720
made.

4fee292e-68c4-4e66-bdf4-97a5fd1d9237-0
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.950
That would have to come from a textile
expert, but it's,

4fee292e-68c4-4e66-bdf4-97a5fd1d9237-1
00:25:18.950 --> 00:25:21.840
it's sort of a pressed out looking almost
product.

d0e887a1-2f9c-4927-9156-5a9a8c02bc1c-0
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:28.734
And but it's the type of shopping bags
that you a lot of times see that grocery

d0e887a1-2f9c-4927-9156-5a9a8c02bc1c-1
00:25:28.734 --> 00:25:31.360
stores will sell as reusable grocery
sacks.

28aaaff8-7485-4fba-844c-6d506115fda1-0
00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:35.280
Those are different than the laminated
woven sacks.

509efe7a-d623-4b79-a761-e55187ae8e27-0
00:25:35.280 --> 00:25:43.870
The laminated woven sacks are actually
the the fabric inside is a woven strip

509efe7a-d623-4b79-a761-e55187ae8e27-1
00:25:43.870 --> 00:25:50.920
fabric and then it is coated on one or
both sides with plastic.

76344351-b9b6-4f88-a667-01941114b98a-0
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:57.520
And if it's coated on both sides,
then it is a plastic in 3923.

4fba778f-39d0-4bb4-a507-7398e665e2d0-0
00:25:58.600 --> 00:26:04.406
And if it is coated only on one side or
if the plastic is not visible,

4fba778f-39d0-4bb4-a507-7398e665e2d0-1
00:26:04.406 --> 00:26:07.760
then it is a textile bag in 6305.

e0b802a4-2136-4f0a-b411-a4fe91a83825-0
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.680
Thank you.

09ce03af-9d0e-44fe-bd42-3e2588b52150-0
00:26:12.600 --> 00:26:18.565
I have another question is that if
importing the sponges of filler used to

09ce03af-9d0e-44fe-bd42-3e2588b52150-1
00:26:18.565 --> 00:26:23.973
keep items in place like the ones you
show in the cosmetic compact,

09ce03af-9d0e-44fe-bd42-3e2588b52150-2
00:26:23.973 --> 00:26:26.360
would I would they go to 3923?

936b2cf1-03fb-40d5-bec3-6679b16671ab-0
00:26:32.280 --> 00:26:37.730
Not necessarily because a lot of that
material comes in in sheet form and is

936b2cf1-03fb-40d5-bec3-6679b16671ab-1
00:26:37.730 --> 00:26:42.120
cut and placed and it's in there certain
rules in chapter 39.

1ed26d40-a17f-4ea8-91af-59ea2e30557b-0
00:26:42.120 --> 00:26:46.238
So I can't like give you a specific
classification because everything is on a

1ed26d40-a17f-4ea8-91af-59ea2e30557b-1
00:26:46.238 --> 00:26:47.400
specific set of facts.

2e9431bf-21ff-4ccb-8652-033a6d532609-0
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.700
But if it was just a foam rectangular
shape,

2e9431bf-21ff-4ccb-8652-033a6d532609-1
00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:53.480
then it would be considered a plastic
sheet.

828b2638-fbf9-4ff8-a814-45564c01b9c9-0
00:26:53.480 --> 00:27:01.693
If it was an unworked just sheet of foam
that was rectangular; rounded is not

828b2638-fbf9-4ff8-a814-45564c01b9c9-1
00:27:01.693 --> 00:27:03.720
doesn't fall there.

4a1fefab-0cec-4189-8850-469be986aa70-0
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.000
So that that's why I'm saying it's not a
specific set.

903aeb29-d1f2-4127-8db1-28d02de70d5d-0
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:10.777
But no,
that would not necessarily go as packing

903aeb29-d1f2-4127-8db1-28d02de70d5d-1
00:27:10.777 --> 00:27:12.240
it it it there.

0d95e171-e665-4449-bf0c-19f62358caeb-0
00:27:12.320 --> 00:27:16.465
It makes it has to it depends on if it
fits different classification rules,

0d95e171-e665-4449-bf0c-19f62358caeb-1
00:27:16.465 --> 00:27:19.520
which is, as I said at the beginning,
very complicated.

bcadb606-0dbd-47d3-910d-7825ebe4d761-0
00:27:19.520 --> 00:27:24.040
So I can't classify specific item in the
webinar.

8f8b8c0a-8ce6-41d2-aba3-41c4301af3b5-0
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:26.560
OK.

763a8a7f-204a-4fae-97b3-f4881bc085f2-0
00:27:26.560 --> 00:27:32.598
Can you share the Jing Mei automotive
ruling number in the in the chat or you

763a8a7f-204a-4fae-97b3-f4881bc085f2-1
00:27:32.598 --> 00:27:36.520
could just read it out if you happen to
have one.

9dfa65b0-90d2-4c7d-8def-102365ec53a4-0
00:27:37.840 --> 00:27:43.400
Let's see if I can have it.

4343e97d-0006-4812-96a6-14f6c936c6b7-0
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:47.880
I said the court number or Jing Mei.

d8e69a48-caaf-4591-8688-99c6e9ae51cf-0
00:27:50.840 --> 00:27:54.360
I'm not sure if I have it on my slide
here.

fe5d3429-acb0-44f1-b3dc-5bc4aeea6812-0
00:27:56.800 --> 00:27:57.960
Let me go back.

acad89d6-bb11-4b1f-a360-193ced47a6cd-0
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:00.440
I don't remember what slide that is.

4eb124e1-f6d5-4883-bdc0-2445af67e2a5-0
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:09.700
Slide 10, Let's see.

96a2adf9-df44-49b0-9793-a4844d4844d6-0
00:28:10.780 --> 00:28:13.220
Tell myself it was slide 10, but it's not.

3ba16c61-4c00-468b-bd5b-0ec6e544e254-0
00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:26.170
Hang on, let me see.

6f0cdaf6-e012-4454-9fc3-a8241d57c268-0
00:28:30.890 --> 00:28:37.288
I don't, for whatever reason,
I don't have the court number in the

6f0cdaf6-e012-4454-9fc3-a8241d57c268-1
00:28:37.288 --> 00:28:38.530
presentation.

0a1a0e04-b33c-4827-8646-d8a40bbf919f-0
00:28:49.560 --> 00:28:50.560
I do not, but I'll be.

9ca6b0b8-a4ca-4ebd-b764-edd083da6c64-0
00:28:50.560 --> 00:28:51.240
Let me see.

6079aca8-f6ee-443f-b4bd-bbc4bdb5695c-0
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.800
Hang on one second.

7bf8477b-296e-4e17-91fa-2e35abf0675d-0
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:00.240
Possibly have it jotted down in my nose.

f761da3f-b81c-419e-9efc-58719e600ace-0
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.800
Give me let me breeze through here very
quickly.

4a78d3c8-f6ad-4ce7-ac53-a87c4ef992d4-0
00:29:35.510 --> 00:29:37.070
I do not have that offhand.

f8a80307-f2c0-4c43-90d4-9886d9336502-0
00:29:37.070 --> 00:29:39.630
I would have to send that possibly out.

69773fa8-7fab-48f0-b88e-92da8dc12aec-0
00:29:41.430 --> 00:29:42.630
I guess they can e-mail you?

172695aa-880a-46d1-89bf-d30f52b3ee0e-0
00:29:45.310 --> 00:29:49.472
Yeah, I mean, it's easy to Google also,
but yeah,

172695aa-880a-46d1-89bf-d30f52b3ee0e-1
00:29:49.472 --> 00:29:55.382
I mean and if I if it pops up in my list
here in the next few minutes,

172695aa-880a-46d1-89bf-d30f52b3ee0e-2
00:29:55.382 --> 00:29:57.630
I will post it in the chat.

65915ac6-c7e3-47e9-a9ad-3c807bd43e81-0
00:29:58.600 --> 00:29:58.840
OK.

6cb61803-031d-4ceb-b44b-c2b4e3729f83-0
00:29:59.120 --> 00:30:01.200
Thank you.

300e7783-3922-4fba-a38b-7955ee33e6d6-0
00:30:02.560 --> 00:30:03.280
Sounds good.

2cd29dfa-b8d1-4431-a516-008dfb4b77fe-0
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:04.080
Thank you.

2afeb46c-894d-41ca-95db-6b901be6b0ca-0
00:30:04.840 --> 00:30:13.520
I have a question,

139b69d5-1793-4053-bfa8-d51ea4934889-0
00:30:13.520 --> 00:30:15.520
Where what is a cop,

31759875-56e2-4222-958c-18be6ee14284-0
00:30:16.520 --> 00:30:23.120
a spool, and a bobbin?  A bobbin,
a cop, a spool:

82167451-d66f-4897-82b8-daee786445b3-0
00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:29.222
They are like if you've ever seen thread
for sale in the store or if you've

82167451-d66f-4897-82b8-daee786445b3-1
00:30:29.222 --> 00:30:34.200
purchased wire on a roll.
Let me I have a photo here like so.

9676f097-faad-4d42-9213-2c3fb900fa84-0
00:30:34.520 --> 00:30:37.453
So for instance,
these are like sort of like spools or

9676f097-faad-4d42-9213-2c3fb900fa84-1
00:30:37.453 --> 00:30:37.880
bobbins.

0a4afb01-c550-49f2-aa97-1f726ee0d40b-0
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.320
It's just like a various containers.

5178967e-95b0-4a06-a13a-0192f43b81ae-0
00:30:42.120 --> 00:30:47.120
And then let's see if I have another
better picture down here.

bba997c9-ca35-4682-8828-913d1b9242c6-0
00:30:57.330 --> 00:30:57.730
I see.

30f870f2-e58f-4298-8896-a7bd3b431648-0
00:31:04.540 --> 00:31:05.220
Yeah, like this.

6ca6ec2c-8d39-4677-a3db-4f610d15e197-0
00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:09.158
So if you see like, it's like a,
you can see these photos like a, like a,

6ca6ec2c-8d39-4677-a3db-4f610d15e197-1
00:31:09.158 --> 00:31:13.416
like a film reel or like how this wire,
there was a wire on the bobbin and then

6ca6ec2c-8d39-4677-a3db-4f610d15e197-2
00:31:13.416 --> 00:31:15.120
these are various little spools.

2039815c-7fbb-4c31-8a29-a0c24242683e-0
00:31:15.120 --> 00:31:22.960
That's that's what we're talking about
when we say spools, cops, or bobbins.

02257347-f04d-4ec2-a163-b353295b5334-0
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:26.720
Thank you.

6a7e12f2-e698-4239-b800-af74c61273c6-0
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.854
If a plastic bottle is imported with a
plastic cap,

6a7e12f2-e698-4239-b800-af74c61273c6-1
00:31:33.854 --> 00:31:39.920
would it be classified as a bottle or
classified as a bottle and cap separately?

d74ad269-f23c-4a60-83db-7c7cab1a6c87-0
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:49.218
The bottle and cap are imported together
or if they are imported in a shipment

d74ad269-f23c-4a60-83db-7c7cab1a6c87-1
00:31:49.218 --> 00:31:55.160
with equal numbers of caps and bottles,
they are classified as the bottle.

862d72aa-fcfb-457d-985b-7eb1ea78d44b-0
00:31:55.760 --> 00:32:00.539
If they are imported separately then they
are classified separately,

862d72aa-fcfb-457d-985b-7eb1ea78d44b-1
00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:06.080
or if the numbers are not matched exactly,
they would be classified separately.

c20321f6-5cab-4db2-919d-f5719731a5f8-0
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:10.520
Thank you! Carboys,

20dd731a-b5f5-45f8-a742-5a8fe56e1e55-0
00:32:10.760 --> 00:32:15.600
bottles, and flasks are under 3923.30.

90b6e29f-0203-440b-afd8-d396172e99c8-0
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.610
Can these include items refilled
repeatedly with chemicals,

90b6e29f-0203-440b-afd8-d396172e99c8-1
00:32:20.610 --> 00:32:23.400
for example for storage for lab use?

7e20a450-7d4c-4368-8e39-9cf70dbbea57-0
00:32:23.760 --> 00:32:28.040
Or is it only for the traveling and
storage and not for refilling?

ba0b0791-b14e-4c6f-951b-de6b168e6a4b-0
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:34.434
These are these are one not that you
might not have a fugitive use of

ba0b0791-b14e-4c6f-951b-de6b168e6a4b-1
00:32:34.434 --> 00:32:37.360
refilling, but no if they are refillable.

bc5f9568-eddd-45d9-b0d7-6f3c09557229-0
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:42.241
No,
only the one the bottles that we

bc5f9568-eddd-45d9-b0d7-6f3c09557229-1
00:32:42.241 --> 00:32:45.400
cover in these headings are disposable.

e6e9b7d2-26ad-4312-830f-cb8a1bdb4191-0
00:32:47.760 --> 00:32:48.200
Thank you.

de6a5669-f5ad-4e8f-bbc2-a4ef7a2a5a46-0
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:54.761
What about bags that have sprouts and
include a layer of aluminum plastic on

de6a5669-f5ad-4e8f-bbc2-a4ef7a2a5a46-1
00:32:54.761 --> 00:33:00.803
both side but with an inner layer of
aluminum and has a unique shape with a

de6a5669-f5ad-4e8f-bbc2-a4ef7a2a5a46-2
00:33:00.803 --> 00:33:01.360
sprout?

69c9d33f-315d-4ab5-8b07-62884959756b-0
00:33:02.600 --> 00:33:08.053
As I said at the first slide,
I cannot provide classifications on

69c9d33f-315d-4ab5-8b07-62884959756b-1
00:33:08.053 --> 00:33:14.581
specific products in the webinar that
it's too complicated and we have to look

69c9d33f-315d-4ab5-8b07-62884959756b-2
00:33:14.581 --> 00:33:20.943
at all the facts associated with that,
which is why on the last slide here I

69c9d33f-315d-4ab5-8b07-62884959756b-3
00:33:20.943 --> 00:33:25.240
also included the list for binding ruling
requests.

b27aae12-bbaf-4ba8-9b7e-5648200aa2fc-0
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:31.200
If you have a product and you need a
ruling, that is your best avenue

05c70803-14bb-47f8-b5a3-695821d9b9ec-0
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.080
for receiving that.

1ef47b6d-15d7-4e80-bd3c-8b29184f1fb4-0
00:33:34.080 --> 00:33:34.200
OK.

5d20b71f-03bf-4c61-99df-3fc5e102ea6b-0
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:41.520
Does a cloth grocery bag fall under
chapter 39?

78b65230-e88d-4f9d-b242-fe245380d658-0
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:45.760
No cloth is a textile.

7f56b63b-a911-467d-a01d-73c09ea36f19-0
00:33:48.800 --> 00:33:52.066
Like I said,
it has to be the material that composes

7f56b63b-a911-467d-a01d-73c09ea36f19-1
00:33:52.066 --> 00:33:52.560
the bag

910b0012-b893-41a8-9737-ec51f57b101d-0
00:33:52.560 --> 00:33:55.840
must be a plastic material.

1bf22869-fc82-41bf-909c-fe34d9d7df49-0
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:05.680
OK, someone asked would a plastic backpack
go under 42O2?

d931efe1-467e-48b5-89bc-9878bda9c9dd-0
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:12.480
I do not handle heading 42O2 so I cannot
comment on that.

89b89a4d-cea1-4fdb-bf71-eebda411ded3-0
00:34:12.520 --> 00:34:15.400
Again a binding ruling would be a good
avenue

7946708c-82e7-47e5-8331-84111b34e335-0
00:34:16.160 --> 00:34:17.520
for that determination.

53a08fa5-339f-4983-988d-833c62c72880-0
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:25.673
OK when you were on slide 25 someone
asked what about other non PVC packing

53a08fa5-339f-4983-988d-833c62c72880-1
00:34:25.673 --> 00:34:26.160
bags?

65f75931-327a-4f55-a52d-55fa394f6a77-0
00:34:26.640 --> 00:34:29.880
Does the four mil brew still apply?

a7c81d4b-86a0-4ba7-b124-1d850f054a48-0
00:34:32.680 --> 00:34:35.280
Say that again. When you are on slide 25,

139e96da-78b4-45cb-8ea9-61b9a9eeaff1-0
00:34:36.120 --> 00:34:38.320
OK, someone asked a question.

1c02a193-af51-47c7-99de-b9252e169b12-0
00:34:39.240 --> 00:34:43.800
What about other non PVC packing bags?

5341ac0d-db5d-47b5-801c-38e842e6e238-0
00:34:44.240 --> 00:34:46.880
Does the four mil rule still apply?

583d692a-baab-4b37-bbf8-d8a01e93f4c4-0
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:54.960
The ruling was it that came out that
discussed that back in the day.

2223a073-6444-4ea7-a17f-3f3008a27e35-0
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:56.760
It didn't specify tip.

53f911a4-e3f4-4b23-a1f6-1d45a304296a-0
00:34:56.760 --> 00:35:00.982
Typically those bags are made of PVC,
but if it was of another thing,

53f911a4-e3f4-4b23-a1f6-1d45a304296a-1
00:35:00.982 --> 00:35:03.877
as long as it is A and that's just a
guideline,

53f911a4-e3f4-4b23-a1f6-1d45a304296a-2
00:35:03.877 --> 00:35:08.160
the four mils are greater is more of a
guideline that we kind of use.

c9fd13c1-49c4-4c47-a194-668fd1355005-0
00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:13.210
But if it is a suitable like a sturdy bag
for prolonged use,

c9fd13c1-49c4-4c47-a194-668fd1355005-1
00:35:13.210 --> 00:35:16.440
it could be classified outside of 3923.

74e88649-6930-4493-8ec6-b9ceac073ec9-0
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:21.973
Again,
that becomes based on the actual details

74e88649-6930-4493-8ec6-b9ceac073ec9-1
00:35:21.973 --> 00:35:28.197
of that bag,
but typically those bags are made of PVC

74e88649-6930-4493-8ec6-b9ceac073ec9-2
00:35:28.197 --> 00:35:29.120
usually.

e79e5a7d-7e29-4041-ab2d-4659f13915a0-0
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:33.760
OK, thank you.

4aed83d0-d2bc-4c6a-9fc4-2bf7634afd4b-0
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:38.280
OK.

aa51be05-44c3-4edb-ab42-2f3f019d64a8-0
00:35:39.240 --> 00:35:45.967
Do you have an example of automotive
closure classified and subheading 3923.50

aa51be05-44c3-4edb-ab42-2f3f019d64a8-1
00:35:45.967 --> 00:35:47.520
instead of 87O8?

adee9be6-901c-45f2-af61-88811ba2a89f-0
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:54.640
Do I have an example?

f1e1a99e-94bd-4fba-bbb1-8ce37f30508c-0
00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:00.213
No,
but after Jing Mei no cap or closure for

f1e1a99e-94bd-4fba-bbb1-8ce37f30508c-1
00:36:00.213 --> 00:36:03.760
automotive will be classified in 3923.

74aebc52-a255-4f79-8362-8676f366642b-0
00:36:05.080 --> 00:36:14.210
OK, there's another question.

aa2ebdb9-c98b-41cc-a5c1-29e4635ef4b9-0
00:36:15.250 --> 00:36:20.837
Plastic food container,
is that classified under 3923 or 3924

aa2ebdb9-c98b-41cc-a5c1-29e4635ef4b9-1
00:36:20.837 --> 00:36:23.000
Plastic food containers?

c94c8b6d-8fec-4ab9-ba8d-20460abf1af7-0
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:24.800
OK, it could go either way.

5333f1ee-41e0-463c-99dd-376d46c661e1-0
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:31.798
If they are plastic food containers of
the type that is used to take out food

5333f1ee-41e0-463c-99dd-376d46c661e1-1
00:36:31.798 --> 00:36:39.336
from restaurants or grocery stores or of
that nature that are disposable in nature,

5333f1ee-41e0-463c-99dd-376d46c661e1-2
00:36:39.336 --> 00:36:41.400
then they stay in 3923.

0dc4c1ae-3b23-4b78-a182-57f962c21629-0
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:47.897
If they are purchased as storage
containers of of a heavier plastic for

0dc4c1ae-3b23-4b78-a182-57f962c21629-1
00:36:47.897 --> 00:36:52.320
the reuse,
then that would fall outside of 3923.

2c837c15-4f84-40df-a0b9-64e3933496cc-0
00:36:54.040 --> 00:37:00.840
OK, I think let's see.

d0609c28-1af5-4a89-bf24-298d6cad5418-0
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:04.880
See that's all the questions we have for
now.

aefd685f-1732-4e8b-8393-e9793e00ea8b-0
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:12.920
Oh, wait,
there is another question that just came

aefd685f-1732-4e8b-8393-e9793e00ea8b-1
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.080
PVC flex tank:

6402d950-f9d4-4a29-aa42-4e27da091b2e-0
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:26.440
Could you explain the difference between
between the 3923.10 versus 8609000000?

10c89bc8-27b1-45f4-af2e-3170ad12a881-0
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:34.974
I don't have any knowledge of the rules
associated with 80 whatever you said 86O

10c89bc8-27b1-45f4-af2e-3170ad12a881-1
00:37:34.974 --> 00:37:35.160
9.

7c6a9680-3256-42a5-adc3-725b568a50a2-0
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:39.563
So no, I cannot,
I cannot explain the difference between

7c6a9680-3256-42a5-adc3-725b568a50a2-1
00:37:39.563 --> 00:37:40.280
those two.

ba9828ed-45bb-4a07-a47a-5c8c0c148fbe-0
00:37:41.080 --> 00:37:41.200
OK.

00cc411e-d2d1-4f90-8910-622a0af9de01-0
00:37:42.160 --> 00:37:45.660
I don't want,
I don't handle the other heading and so I

00cc411e-d2d1-4f90-8910-622a0af9de01-1
00:37:45.660 --> 00:37:48.160
don't know what the difference would be.

77a6d998-567d-4418-a3d6-7de00e518894-0
00:37:48.160 --> 00:37:51.271
And like I said,
those are the discussions that we have

77a6d998-567d-4418-a3d6-7de00e518894-1
00:37:51.271 --> 00:37:55.662
when we have a ruling request and we have
a specific set of facts to make that

77a6d998-567d-4418-a3d6-7de00e518894-2
00:37:55.662 --> 00:37:56.440
determination.

fa08324a-3f12-46a7-b6df-705e803214c4-0
00:37:57.120 --> 00:37:58.240
OK, thank you.

083e79b3-c5e1-4402-b866-b969dc47f917-0
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:00.400
That's all the questions we have for now.

8a8273de-40dd-4444-92e3-d58c92d65fe5-0
00:38:06.040 --> 00:38:10.160
If there's no other,
I think that would be it.

fbc58c23-5b60-4bd1-b520-cd694672998d-0
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:16.480
Can you move to the last slide where your
contact information and the credit code is?

93a10a36-9542-4ae1-af6c-816e90375aae-0
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:18.440
I can.

16b0e55f-7f85-47be-8891-31eaffe82516-0
00:38:27.520 --> 00:38:27.920
OK.

d652ec45-044a-4f15-a7c0-e4f239b5f0ef-0
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:30.560
Thank you.

4a075321-4b11-41f0-a077-955433236332-0
00:38:31.720 --> 00:38:33.600
Thank you, Chrissi,

3856c132-a876-457a-822c-e10d472d475f-0
00:38:33.600 --> 00:38:34.640
we could turn it back to you.

560912b6-6f84-44f4-b3fb-6df9ce869c7f-0
00:38:38.200 --> 00:38:38.920
Thank you, ma'am.

6508782c-248d-4d94-b02a-1b88d584be28-0
00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:53.287
Again, for those on the phone,
the continuing education credit code is

6508782c-248d-4d94-b02a-1b88d584be28-1
00:38:53.287 --> 00:38:58.600
CBP-042025-6-0028.

c34c09a2-a008-473f-9021-8bcc9595b571-0
00:39:01.600 --> 00:39:03.960
This concludes our webinar for this
afternoon.

8bea43be-ee51-4650-af81-aa789715eb5b-0
00:39:04.640 --> 00:39:08.400
This is a reminder that this webinar will
be posted on the CBP website.

c11693ea-41e1-4bf6-8b38-e71af9a3fd2c-0
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:11.280
Thank you for joining us and enjoy the
rest of your day.
