Foreign Trade Subzone Approved for Maine Weaver

On July 28, 2016 the Foreign Trade Zone Board published in the Federal Register (81 FR 49619) Approval of Subzone Status--Flemish Master Weavers--Sanford, Maine.

Flemish Weavers also filed a Notification of Proposed Production Activity which is pending, with a decision from the FTZ Board expected soon. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt FMW from customs duty payments on foreign status materials used in export production. On its domestic sales, FMW would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to area rugs (free) for the polypropylene and polyester yarns (duty rates: 8.0% and 8.8%, respectively) sourced from abroad. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.

Authorization for production is opposed by National Spinning Co., Inc., the American Fiber Manufacturers Association, the National Council of Textile Organizations, and the United States Industrial Fabrics Institute. If FMW is denied authorization for production they will have the option of re-filing, using the more extensive Application for Production Activity.

To learn if your company can save money using FTZ procedures, contact David Trumbull at david@agathonassociates.com for an initial free consultation.

Clothing importer, manufacturer to pay $13 million fine for evading customs duties

A China-based clothing manufacturer agreed recently to pay more than $13 million for engaging in a double invoicing scheme to defraud the United States out of millions of dollars in customs duties. The civil settlement is the result of an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Motives Far East and Motives China Limited admitted to and accepted responsibility for under-reporting the value of its imported merchandise and agreed to pay nearly $13.4 million to the United States under the False Claims Act.

ICE HSI Special Agent-in-Charge Angel M. Melendez said: “Motives disguised the true value of goods imported into the United States to cheat the government out of millions of dollars in customs duties. This scheme backfired, now Motives will pay millions for trying to skirt America’s customs laws. Trade fraud threatens the U.S. economy and restricts competitiveness of U.S. industry in the world markets. HSI and CBP maintain a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to these types of predatory and unfair trade practices.”

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “Motives evaded millions in customs duties by presenting false invoices to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. With this lawsuit and the accompanying resolution, which involves admissions and the payment of over $13 million, Motives is being held to account for its unlawful evasion of customs duties.”

CBP Director of New York Field Operations Robert E. Perez said: “CBP takes trade fraud, such as undervaluation, very seriously. We are proud to partner with HSI and the Southern District to level the playing field for legitimate traders by steadfastly enforcing U.S. trade laws.”

The government’s complaint, filed in Manhattan federal court, alleges that from approximately 2009 through 2013, Motives, which regularly manufactured and/or imported apparel into the United States, conspired with clothing wholesalers fraudulently to underpay customs duties owed to the government by making false representations in entry documents filed with CBP about the value of the imported merchandise.

Pursuant to the scheme, Motives created and/or used two sets of invoices: one that undervalued the garments and was presented to the government for calculation of the appropriate duty, and the second that reflected the actual value of the garments. Motives presented to the government invoices with the lower value on the entry forms, thereby defrauding the government of millions of dollars in customs duties.

As part of the settlement, Motives admitted, acknowledged, and accepted responsibility for engaging in the following conduct from 2009-2013:

• repeatedly preparing and presenting to the government commercial invoices for apparel being imported into the United States that reported less than the total value of the goods imported;
• repeatedly representing to the government that its documentation contained, to the best of MOTIVES’ knowledge, correct and true information such as prices, values, and quantities;
• repeatedly receiving from apparel wholesalers an amount in excess of that recorded on the commercial invoices; and
• repeatedly failing to disclose to the government the separate invoices reflecting the true value of the apparel, and instead reporting only the lesser amounts listed in the commercial invoices, which the government then used to assess customs duties.

The allegations of fraud stated in the complaint were first brought to the attention of federal law enforcement by a whistle-blower who filed a lawsuit under the False Claims Act.

Manufacturing Council to Meet

On July 19, 2016, the Dept. of Commerce published in the Federal Register (81 FR 46904) Notice of an open meeting.

The United States Manufacturing Council (Council) will hold an open meeting via livestream on Wednesday, August 3, 2016.

The textile industry is represented on the Council by Jenny Houston, Executive Vice President, Warwick Mills; New Ipswich, N.H., who appointed in February, 2015, by Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritsker.

Request for Public Comments To Compile the National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers

On July 19, 2016, the Office of the United States Trade Representative published in the Federal Register (81 FR 46994) Request for Public Comments To Compile the National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 181 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2241), the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is required to publish annually the National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers (NTE). With this notice, the Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) is requesting interested persons to submit comments to assist it in identifying significant barriers to U.S. exports of goods, services, and U.S. foreign direct investment for inclusion in the NTE. The TPSC invites written comments from the public on issues that USTR should examine in preparing the NTE.

Section 1377 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (19 U.S.C. 3106) (``Section 1377'') requires the USTR to review annually the operation and effectiveness of all U.S. trade agreements regarding telecommunications products and services that are in force with respect to the United States. USTR is collecting information regarding the trade barriers pertinent to the conduct of the review called for in Section 1377 through this notice.

DATES: Public comments are due not later than 11:59 p.m., October 27, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NTE sets out an inventory of the most important foreign barriers affecting U.S. exports of goods and services, U.S. foreign direct investment, and protection of intellectual property rights. The inventory facilitates U.S. negotiations aimed at reducing or eliminating these barriers. The report also provides a valuable tool in enforcing U.S. trade laws and strengthening the rules-based trading system. The 2016 NTE Report may be found on USTR's Internet Home Page (http://www.ustr.gov) under the tab ``Reports''. To ensure compliance with the NTE's statutory mandate and the Obama Administration's commitment to focus on the most significant foreign trade barriers, USTR will be guided by the existence of active private sector interest in deciding which restrictions to include in the NTE.

Topics on Which the TPSC Seeks Information: To assist USTR in preparing the NTE, commenters should submit information related to one or more of the following categories of foreign trade barriers:

(1) Import policies (e.g., tariffs and other import charges, quantitative restrictions, import licensing, and customs barriers);

(2) Government procurement restrictions (e.g., ``buy national policies'' and closed bidding);

(3) Export subsidies (e.g., export financing on preferential terms, subsidies provided to equipment manufacturers contingent on export and agricultural export subsidies that displace U.S. exports in third country markets);

(4) Lack of intellectual property protection (e.g., inadequate patent, copyright, and trademark regimes);

(5) Services barriers (e.g., limits on the range of financial services offered by foreign financial institutions, regulation of international data flows, restrictions on the use of data processing, quotas on imports of foreign films, unnecessary or discriminatory technical regulations or standards for telecommunications services and barriers to the provision of services by professionals);

(6) Investment barriers (e.g., limitations on foreign equity participation and on access to foreign government-funded R&D consortia, local content, technology transfer and export performance requirements, and restrictions on repatriation of earnings, capital, fees, and royalties);

(7) Government-tolerated anticompetitive conduct of state-owned or private firms that restrict the sale or purchase of U.S. goods or services in the foreign country's markets;

(8) Trade restrictions affecting electronic commerce (e.g., tariff and non-tariff measures, burdensome and discriminatory regulations and standards, and discriminatory taxation);

(9) Trade restrictions implemented through unwarranted Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, including unwarranted measures justified for purposes of protecting food safety, and animal and plant life or health;

(10) Trade restrictions implemented through unwarranted standards, conformity assessment procedures, or technical regulations (Technical Barriers to Trade) that may have as their objective protecting national security requirements, preventing deceptive practices, or protecting human health or safety, animal or plant life or health, or the environment, but that can be formulated or implemented in ways that create significant barriers to trade (including unnecessary or discriminatory technical regulations or standards for telecommunications products); and

(11) Other barriers (e.g., barriers that encompass more than one category, such as bribery and corruption, or that affect a single sector).

Furthermore, commenters are invited to identify those barriers covered in submissions that may operate as ``localization barriers to trade''. Localization barriers are measures designed to protect, favor, or stimulate domestic industries, services providers, and or intellectual property at the expense of goods services or intellectual property from other countries, including the provision of subsidies linked to local production.

In responding to this notice, commenters should place particular emphasis on any practices that may violate U.S. trade agreements. The TPSC is also interested in receiving new or updated information pertinent to the barriers covered in the 2016 NTE as well as information on new barriers. If USTR does not include in the NTE information that it receives pursuant to this notice, it will maintain the information for potential use in future discussions or negotiations with trading partners.

Estimate of Increase in Exports: Each comment should include an estimate of the potential increase in U.S. exports that would result from removing any foreign trade barrier the comment identifies, as well as a description of the methodology the commenter used to derive the estimate. Estimates should be expressed within the following value ranges: Less than $5 million; $5 to $25 million; $25 million to $50 million; $50 million to $100 million; $100 million to $500 million; or over $500 million. These estimates will help USTR conduct comparative analyses of a barrier's effect over a range of industries.

Requirements for Submissions: Commenters providing information on foreign trade barriers in more than one country should, whenever possible, provide a separate submission for each country.

Manufacturing Council to Meet

On July 19, 2016, the Dept. of Commerce published in the Federal Register (81 FR 46904) Notice of an open meeting.

The United States Manufacturing Council (Council) will hold an open meeting via livestream on Wednesday, August 3, 2016.

The textile industry is represented on the Council by Jenny Houston, Executive Vice President, Warwick Mills; New Ipswich, N.H., who appointed in February, 2015, by Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritsker.
