Wide Lapels and Cuffs = More Wool Fabric to Sell?

This is not a fashion blog, but I could not but notice the October 2019 issue of Esquire -- pages of roomy suits, wide peaked lapels, and even Oxford bags. As someone who personally never liked the skinny suit and young men in trousers that looked like girls' leggings, I love it! The photo below is the most dramatic a departure from the fashions of the past dozen years, but there are several others in this issue.

Customs Implements New Programs for Duty-Free de Minimis Shipments.

E-Commerce and Section 321 Shipments

Section 321(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, authorizes CBP to provide an administrative exemption to admit free from duty and tax shipments of merchandise (other than bona fide gifts and certain personal and household goods) imported by one person on one day having an aggregate fair retail value in the country of shipment of not more than $800. This exemption is known as a de minimis entry. CBP has created Section 321 programs to enable the agency to monitor and protect against illegitimate trade while providing the public the benefits of duty free shipments for qualified imports.

To learn more about these programs, select program overview.

The Section 321 de minimis provision has attracted interest of late. On February 24, 2016, the Trade Enforcement and Trade Facilitation Act of 2015, Pub. L. 114-125, 130 Stat. 122 ("TFTEA"), was signed into law, which increased the de-minimis value exemption under 19 U.S.C. § 1321 from $200 to $800. Accordingly, beginning March 10, 2016, articles valued at $800 or less, which are imported by one person on one day, are eligible for duty free entry, under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C). Because of this increase in value, merchants have expressed their desire to apply the de-minimis value exemption to withdrawals from FTZs. Specifically, bulk commercial merchandise shipped to the United States would be brought into the port limits and admitted into an FTZ. Once an e-Commerce purchase, valued at $800 or less is made, based on the aggregate purchase by a single customer on a single day, the merchants propose to enter the merchandise using weekly informal entry procedures pursuant to Section 321 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. § 1321) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") Regulations: 19 C.F.R. §§ 10.151, 10.153, 143.21, and 143.23. In Binding Ruling H282601 of September 18, 2018, CBP responded to the American Apparel and Footwear Association, stating:

"Because the merchandise is imported in a bulk consolidated shipment valued at over $800 at importation, 19 C.F.R. § 10.153(d) prevents the goods from leaving the FTZ duty free under 19 C.F.R. § 10.151. Moreover, under Section 321, the $800 per day limit applies to the AAFA Members at the point of importation and not to the individual purchasers subsequent to importation. Accordingly, the shipments and transactions proposed by AAFA, valued over $800 at importation, do not qualify for duty-free treatment and informal entry under the administrative exception of Section 321."

With the rise of the de minimis to $800 we have seen more online retailers taking advantage of it. For example, Sears has a warehouse in Canada for de minimis shipments of apparel direct to consumers in the U.S. Customs has advised online retailers that they must be careful to follow the rules for Section 321, including the "single customer on a single day" provision.

On October 16, 2018, the President notified the Congress that he intended to initiate trade negotiations with Japan on a United States-Japan Trade Agreement. The Administration now proposes pursuing negotiations with Japan in stages and has reached an initial trade agreement regarding tariff barriers with Japan and intenda to enter into the agreement in the coming weeks.

USITC Reports on Dominican Republic 2-for-1 Program

On September 18, 2019, the U.S. International Trade Commission ("USITC") published Publication Number: 4950 Investigation Number: 332-503 Earned Import Allowance Program: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Program for Certain Apparel from the Dominican Republic.

The EIAP allows apparel manufacturers in the Dominican Republic who use U.S. fabric to produce certain apparel to earn a credit that can be used to ship eligible apparel made with non-U.S.-produced fabric into the United States duty free. The Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, as amended, requires the USITC, an independent, nonpartisan, factfinding federal agency, to evaluate annually the effectiveness of the EIAP program and make recommendations for improvements.

The USITC's 10th and final annual review was submitted to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means and the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance on September 17, 2019. Highlights of the report follow.

• Of the 13 registered firms, only four used the program in its final year, the same as the prior year.
• In 2018, U.S. imports of woven cotton bottoms from the Dominican Republic fell 4 percent by value to just under $1.4 million in 2018, down from $1.5 million in 2017, and fell 2 percent by quantity to 150,716 SMEs in 2018 from 153,679 SMEs in 2017. The continued decline in U.S. imports under the EIAP in its final year likely reflects a significant decline in woven trouser manufacturing capacity in the Dominican Republic, a simultaneous shift by U.S. importers to Asian suppliers during the life of the program, and anticipation of the expiration of the program on December 1, 2018. The general decline in the program’s usage after U.S. imports under the EIAP peaked in 2010 may also reflect the lack of changes made to the program despite the recommendations put forth since the first annual review.
• No new recommendations to improve the program were received during the 10th annual review of the EIAP, nor were there any known requests or efforts to extend the program beyond its expiration date. During the previous nine annual reviews, the government of the Dominican Republic, industry representatives, and users of the program consistently made three principal recommendations to improve the EIAP: 1) lower the 2-for-1 ratio of U.S. to foreign fabric to a 1-for-1 ratio; 2) expand the program coverage to enable other types of fabrics and apparel items to be included in the EIAP; and 3) change the requirement that dyeing and finishing of eligible fabrics occur in the United States.

ICE HSI San Francisco confiscates nearly $11K in fake merchandise at Raider-Alameda County Coliseum

Homeland Security Investigations warns consumers nationwide to beware of vendors who peddle counterfeit sports merchandise and tickets during NFL games.

During Monday Night Football in Oakland, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) San Francisco partnered with NFL brand security representatives and state and local law enforcement officers to prevent counterfeit sales.

“HSI San Francisco is committed to conducting intellectual property theft investigations throughout the year and preventing the sale of counterfeit goods during the home opener of the Oakland Raiders is just one example of HSI working to ensure that the public is purchasing legitimate products” said Tatum King, special agent in charge, HSI San Francisco and Northern California.

Monday’s seizures are part of a larger trend the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has tracked throughout the country. The National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) is reviewing an annual report on the number of IPR seizures that have raised the total estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of the seized goods – had they been genuine – to $1.4 billion.

“The lost revenue equals lost jobs and counterfeit materials typically contain substandard products and can also be a safety risk to the public,” King said.

Although counterfeiters are increasingly more sophisticated, fans can keep several key factors in mind when making purchases to avoid being victimized:

• Shop at authorized retail locations, such as the official team stores rather than buying items from street vendors, flea markets, online auctions or other questionable sources
• Buy tickets from authorized dealers
• Look out for ripped tags or irregular markings on apparel
• If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. While some counterfeiters may attract fans with a low price tag or 2-for-1 deal, just as many try to legitimize their merchandise with a higher price point.

“Oakland Raiders fans attending the first game of the season deserve genuine products and the proceeds of counterfeit merchandise ends up in the hands of transnational criminal organizations engaged in varying types of illegal activities,” King added.

Purchasing authorized merchandise guarantees the quality and life of that souvenir, while also providing a reputable source for concerns, returns, and exchanges.

The HSI-led IPR Center is one of the U.S. government's key weapons in the fight against criminal counterfeiting and piracy. Working in close coordination with the Department of Justice Task Force on Intellectual Property, the IPR Center uses the expertise of its 25 member agencies to share information, develop initiatives, coordinate enforcement actions and conduct investigations related to intellectual property theft. Through this strategic interagency partnership, the IPR Center protects the public's health and safety and the U.S. economy.

DEFENSE SUPPLIER BASE: Challenges and Policy Considerations Regarding Offshoring and Foreign Investment Risks

The U.S. Department of Defense relies on a global network of suppliers to help meet its mission goals. This can mean contracting with U.S. companies that have accepted foreign investment or sent their operations offshore.

The Government Accountability Office convened a panel of experts who identified some benefits of DOD doing business with these companies—including saving money and increasing access to innovative technologies.

The panelists outlined some of the risks of relying on a globalized supply chain. Specifically:

• Intellectual property—Foreign investors in U.S. companies can get access to the sensitive technologies those companies develop. When those investors are from the nation’s strategic competitors (such as China or Russia), technology transfer is a concern.
• Domestic production—If the United States sends too much production abroad, the skills of the nation’s own workforce can erode.
• Source materials—DOD relies on foreign suppliers for parts and materials such as rare earth metals that are crucial to many weapon systems. Geopolitical conflicts can compromise access to foreign supplies to meet current and future needs.
