SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
On January 24, 2008, Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) published in
the Federal Register (73 FR 4254) a
notice informing interested parties that
CBP was proposing a new interpretation
of the expression ‘‘sold for exportation
to the United States’’ for purposes of
applying the transaction value method
of valuation in a series of sales
importation scenario. Under this
proposed interpretation, in a transaction
involving a series of sales, the price
actually paid or payable for the
imported goods when sold for
exportation to the United States would
be the price paid in the last sale
occurring prior to the introduction of
the goods into the United States, instead
of the first (or earlier) sale. Accordingly,
the transaction value would typically be
determined on the basis of the price
paid by the buyer in the United States.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
U.S. Geological Survey
After CBP published its proposed
interpretation document, Congress
enacted the Food, Conservation and
Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–246,
122 Stat. 1651 (June 18, 2008)) (‘‘the
Act’’), in which section 15422 required
the Commissioner of CBP to collect
PO 00000
information from importers for a oneyear period as to whether the declared
value was based on a ‘‘first sale’’ in a
series of sales transactions. CBP was
required to report the data to the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
on a monthly basis and, in turn, the ITC
was required to submit a report to
Congress within 90 days of receiving
CBP’s final report.
Congress also stated in the Act that,
prior to January 1, 2011, CBP should not
implement any change to its existing
interpretation of the expression ‘‘sold for
exportation to the United States’’ for
purposes of applying the transaction
value method of valuation in a series of
sales importation scenario and, then,
only in accordance with the prescribed
terms set forth in the Act.
An interim rule implementing the
Act’s first sale declaration requirement
was published in the Federal Register
(73 FR 49939) on August 25, 2008
setting forth in § 141.61(g) of title 19 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR
141.61(g)) that for a specified time
period importers were required to
declare, at the time of entry, whether the
transaction value of the imported
merchandise was determined on the
basis of the price paid by the buyer in
the first or earlier sale occurring prior to
introduction of the merchandise into the
United States. Per the statute and the
interim regulations, this requirement set
forth in § 141.61(g) expired on August
19, 2009.
In the interim rule document
published on August 25, 2008, CBP
informed the public that the agency
intended to withdraw the proposed
interpretation.
