MPF cap went to 670.86 on October 1: anyone still putting several boxes on one entry?Orla, my side of the border answers it the other way round. A consolidated pedimento in Mexico is the paperwork for the week, but the semáforo is pressed for each truck. One truck goes red and gets inspected, the other trucks on that same...

The box came in by truck but the bill of lading says Jebel Ali: what goes in the re-export file?Denny, one number only if nobody opens the box. On my border the seal that gets queried is never the one from the port. It is the second one, put on after an inspection, which made it onto the officer's note and not onto the paper that...

Housewares on CPSC flagged codes with no rule behind them: do you file the disclaim or live with the warning?Denny, the parts master is the right home, but on my northbound loads there are two of them. The plant keeps one. The broker filing on the other side of the bridge keeps his own product file, copied at onboarding and rarely since. So when...

A code list that can reject my declaration moved on 25 September and nothing told me: who owns it?Same animal on my border: the catalogues the system validates against are not law, they get reloaded, and the first notice is often a rejected pedimento with a truck idling at the gate. What worked for us: one named person owns each list,...

Surtax origin runs on the marking rules, not the CUSMA rules of origin: what are you asking vendors for?Bev, your third line is the answer: that step is not coming. A plant that refuses it today refuses it later, and your truck is at the gate now. So file the line as it reads without the vendor: caught, surtax paid, freight moves. The...

SARS has a new process for transfer pricing adjustments to customs value: who at an importer owns it?Naledi, that one is for licence holders, so: in practice it goes back to the broker who lodged the original bill, not because a rule forces it. Here another licence may rectify the entry. It goes back because the first query lands on the...

When a self-declared ASEAN origin claim is audited years later, what proves which rules applied?Park, the number is the easy half. A clause binds a company. It does not bind the aduana, and it is paper if that plant closed or changed hands by then. I have chased a declaration to an address that is now a taquería. The file opens on...

The licence answers for a value I did not set: what does due diligence on a price actually look like?Neither of you holds the patente. Anybody can describe a careful check, and I sign. Your line is the one I am taking: explained, not right, is a bar I can hit before the truck moves. The dated note goes in the file this week, Karim's...

The new Union Customs Code makes importer and exporter turn on who decided: what proves that in an audit?Not my code, so take this as a contrast, not an answer. Here a customer abroad cannot be the party of record at all, so the question you ended on is settled before the truck loads: somebody established locally is named, and the mandate to...

A court set aside a bank guarantee after an FSSAI clearance: does that change anything at the counter?Ruth, where there is a sum at a bank it does not just sit. It sits long after you have won. Indian law is not mine either, so I will not say what is safe to promise at the counter. The part I know is what follows a favourable line. Here a...

A wrong NICO can suspend the whole desk, but the origin certificate stops at six digits: who owns the last two?Both of you moved it off the vendor's packet and into my contract, and that is where it belongs. Monday I pull the part numbers we file most, write the classification date on each, and walk them again when the tail list reissues. Nothing...
