House Passes Bill to Create MTB Process

On April 13, 2016, Representative Kevin Brady (Rep., Tex. 8th) introduced H.R.4923, the American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act of 2016. Also on On April 13, 2016, Senator Orrin G. Hatch (Rep., Utah) introduced S. 2794, the American Manufacturing Competitiveness Act of 2016.

While there are some differences between the bills, they are substantially the same in that they direct the The U.S. International Trade Commission to:

• conduct a process, meeting specified requirements, for the submission and consideration of petitions for duty suspensions and reductions; and
• report to Congress on the effects of duty suspensions and reductions enacted pursuant to this Act on producers, purchasers, and consumers in the United States.

On April 27, 2016, on motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, as amended, H.R. 4923 was agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: (2/3 required): 415 - 2 (Roll no. 166). The bill now goes on to the Senate.

USTR Releases Report on Global State of Intellectual Property Rights Protection and Enforcement

On April 27, 2016, the Office of the United States Trade Representative released the 2016 Special 301 Report.

The Special 301 Report (Report) is the result of an annual review of the state of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection and enforcement in U.S. trading partners around the world, which the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) conducts pursuant to Section 182 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, and the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 (19 U.S.C. § 2242).

This Report reflects the Administration’s continued resolve to encourage and maintain adequate and effective IPR protection and enforcement worldwide. The Report identifies a wide range of concerns, including: (a) the deterioration in IPR protection and enforcement in a number of trading partners; (b) reported inadequacies in trade secret protection in China, India, and elsewhere; (c) troubling “indigenous innovation” policies that may unfairly disadvantage U.S. right holders in markets abroad; (d) the continuing challenges of online copyright piracy; (e) measures that impede market access for U.S. products embodying IPR and U.S. entities that rely upon IPR protection; and (f) other ongoing, systemic IPR enforcement issues in many trading partners around the world.

The Report serves a critical function by identifying opportunities and challenges facing U.S. innovative and creative industries in foreign markets and by promoting job creation, economic development, and many other benefits that effective IPR protection and enforcement support. The Report informs the public and our trading partners and seeks to be a positive catalyst for change. USTR looks forward to working closely with the governments of the trading partners that are identified in this year’s Report to address both emerging and continuing concerns, and to build on the positive results that many of these governments have achieved.

Flock Upholstery Tariff Ruling

In two recent Binding Ruling Letters, U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") reaffirmed the determination, that goes back to at least 1991, that fabric that is flocked all over (not in a pattern with the ground showing) and entered as fabric (not further processed by cutting to shape for garments or furniture covering, in other words, rolls of fabric) is classified under subheading 5907.00 of the Harmonized System along with other textile fabrics otherwise impregnated, coated or covered. Specifically, in Rulings N273746 and N273747, both dated April 5, 2016, CBP determined that woven upholstery fabrics of 35% polyester and 35% cotton, coated with flock of man-made fiber, are classified at 5907.00.6000 Harmonized Tariff System of the U.S. The rate of duty is zero. The fabrics are made in Israel and imported by Flexsteel of Dubuque, Iowa.

USITC Begins Investigation Concerning Whether Certain Textile and Apparel Articles from Nepal are Import Sensitive

The U.S. International Trade Commission ("USITC") is seeking input for a new investigation concerning whether certain textile and apparel articles from Nepal are import sensitive.

The investigation, Nepal: Advice Concerning Whether Certain Textile and Apparel Articles Are Import Sensitive, was requested by the U.S. Trade Representative ("USTR") in a letter received on March 30, 2016.

As requested, the USITC, an independent, nonpartisan, factfinding federal agency, will provide advice on the likely impact on U.S. imports, competing U.S. industries, and U.S. consumers of providing duty-free treatment for the following 66 products, listed by Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) subheading, from Nepal:

• Luggage and attaché cases (5 subheadings): 4202.11.00, 4202.12.20, 4202.12.40, 4202.12.60, 4202.12.80;

The USITC will submit its confidential report to USTR by September 29, 2016. As soon as possible thereafter, the USITC will, as requested by USTR, issue a public version of the report containing only the unclassified sections, with any business confidential information and classified information deleted.

The USITC is seeking input for its new investigation from all interested parties and requests that the information focus on the articles for which the USITC is requested to provide information and advice. The USITC will hold a public hearing in connection with the investigation at 9:30 a.m. on June 9, 2016. Requests to appear at the public hearing should be filed no later than 5:15 p.m. on May 23, 2016, with the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436.

The USITC also welcomes written submissions for the record. Written submissions should be addressed to the Secretary to the Commission at the above address and should be submitted at the earliest practical date but no later than 5:15 p.m. on June 24, 2016. All written submissions, except for confidential business information, will be available for public inspection.

Further information on the scope of this investigation and appropriate submissions appears in the USITC’s notice of investigation, dated April 15, 2016. The notice can be obtained from the USITC Internet site (www.usitc.gov) or by contacting the Office of the Secretary at the above address or at 202-205-2000.

USITC general factfinding investigations, such as this one, cover matters related to tariffs or trade and are generally conducted at the request of the U.S. Trade Representative, the House Committee on Ways and Means, or the Senate Committee on Finance. The resulting reports convey the Commission's objective findings and independent analyses on the subjects investigated. The Commission makes no recommendations on policy or other matters in its general factfinding reports. Upon completion of each investigation, the USITC submits its findings and analyses to the requester. General factfinding investigation reports are subsequently released to the public, unless they are classified by the requester for national security reasons.
