Notice of Domestic Interested Party Petitioner's Desire To Contest the Tariff Classification Determination of Wickless Wax Objects
Document Number: 2011-11608
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-05-12
Agency: Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection
On February 18, 2009, the National Candle Association (``petitioner'') filed a domestic interested party petition pursuant to section 516, Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR part 175 regarding the tariff classification of imported wickless wax objects identified in entry documents as ``wax cylinders'', ``wax pillars'', ``wax blocks'', ``wax forms'', ``candle jars'', ``candle holders'', ``religious candle holders'', or ``religious candle jars.'' The petition challenged Customs and Border Protection's (``CBP's'') classification of wickless wax objects under heading 9602, of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''), as molded or carved articles of wax, and requested that all wickless wax objects be classified under subheading 3406.00.00, HTSUS, as candles, tapers, and the like. On December 7, 2010, CBP denied the petition and affirmed its decision that wickless wax objects are classified under subheading 9602.00.40, HTSUS, as molded or carved articles of wax. Pursuant to 19 CFR 175.24, CBP is now providing notice of this decision and also providing notice of the receipt of petitioner's desire to contest this decision in court.
Technical Corrections To Remove Obsolete References to Non-Automated Carriers From Electronic Cargo Manifest Regulations and to Update Terminology
Document Number: 2011-11248
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-05-12
Agency: Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection
This document amends the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations concerning the mandatory electronic transmission of inward foreign manifests for vessels transporting bulk and certain break bulk cargo to the United States to make several technical corrections, including removing obsolete language that refers to vessel carriers who do not transmit cargo declaration information electronically (non-automated carriers). When CBP amended its regulations to implement section 343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002 to require carriers to transmit advance cargo information electronically, CBP inadvertently neglected to remove language in the cargo manifest regulations that referred to non- automated bulk and break bulk vessel carriers. This document also makes technical changes to related provisions to clarify the process for electronically transmitting cargo declarations to CBP and to clarify and update terminology.
