Question 13

Carbon and alloy steel threaded rod originating in China is subject to antidumping and/or countervailing duty cases in the United States. Steel Importers, Inc. (SII) is an import client of your brokerage firm. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SII has contacted you for assistance in making an allegation under the Enforce and Protect Act of 2015 (EAPA) and CBP implementing regulations. SII’s allegation is that a competitor is importing Chinese-origin carbon and alloy steel threaded rod from Germany and is avoiding paying the anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties (AD/CVD) by claiming that the merchandise is country of origin Germany. Which of the following statements is FALSE under these facts?

A
A licensed Customs broker is an interested party under the EAPA implementing regulations found in Title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), which allows the brokerage to notify CBP of SII’s allegations as an interested party and allows SII’s business to remain confidential.

Unless the person or other entity bringing the allegation is an interested party as defined in EAPA implementing regulations found in Title 19 of the CFR, the person making the allegation must either be an attorney or have a valid power of attorney from the interested party.

Question 24

Upon auditing an entry, the importer of record (IOR) discovered that the total entered value was incorrect. The correct entered value was $5,718.00 more than shown on the entry documentation, resulting in additional duty in the amount of $187.25 and additional MPF in the amount of $19.81. The IOR requested that its broker file an accelerated liquidation PSC and advised that it would pay the bill for the underpayment upon receipt. There are 120 days between when the duties, taxes and fees are due and the liquidation of the entry, so that, if interest is due, the interest on the additional duties would be $1.89 and the interest on the merchandise processing fee (MPF) would be $0.20. How much will the bill for the underpayment be?

A
The bill will be for the $187.25 in additional duty because the MPF is under $20.00 and the interest on both the additional duty and the MPF is under $20.00, so the de minimus rule applies to both the MPF and the interest.
B
The bill will be for $189.14 in additional duty plus interest and not the MPF because the de minimus rule applies to the additional MPF because the MPF is less than $20.00.
C
The bill will be for $207.06, the additional duty plus the additional MPF, because CBP does not charge interest on underpayments where the liquidation takes place 180 days or less after the duty due date.
D
The bill will be for $208.95, the duty plus interest and the MPF, because CBP does not charge interest on the underpayment of fees but does charge interest on the underpayment of duties.
E
The bill will be for $209.15 which is the duty of $187.25 plus interest on the duty in the amount of $1.89 added to the additional MPF of $19.81 plus interest of $0.20 because the net difference in duties, taxes, fees, and interest is greater than $20.00.
