CSMS messages, HTS changes, Section 301 exclusions, bond rules, FMC dockets and enforcement actions — translated into what a filer has to do about them this week.
A CSMS guidance message issued the night the deadline hit lays out the HTS codes, the filing sequence and the exemptions brokers now have to work around.
Congress called the $800 exemption a "privilege" in the statute, and that single label is what let the President void it — but the case is not over, and a footnote about liquidation matters more to importers than the holding.
Two small importers are suing on behalf of everyone who has paid the new duties since July 24 — and the relief they are asking for includes an injunction against liquidation.
