	U.S. Customs Service Counterrorism Efforts at Home and Abroad

		Where there is no description and where Customs was not provided with the data 24 hours before the lading of the cargo container, the loading of that container, U.S. Customs will begin denying permits to unload in the United States, and that will start on February 2nd and thereafter.
		The U.S. Customs Service actions on February 2nd will be the first step in a process of ratcheting up the denials of unloading permits to ensure compliance over the course of the next several weeks thereafter.

	BEFORE THE
		Customs must realize that there are certain segments of rail traffic that are extremely competitive with truck transportation, and a 24-hour period for notification would essentially destroy that traffic.
		Customs’ Strawman proposal for rail service destined to and departing from the United States requires a set of information to be provided to Customs prior to arrival of goods at the border.
		Customs needs to recognize that, unlike transportation by vessel, which by its nature takes days between the port of origin and the port of destination, there are some situations where shipments by rail need to be expedited.

	United States Customs Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second operational component of the United States Customs Service was the Office of Investigations or "OI." The Office of Investigations consisted of specialized sections of Special Agents that were divided by common crimes regarding international affairs.
		For over 100 years after its birth, the U.S. Customs Service was the primary source of funds for the entire government, and paid for the nation's early growth and infrastructure.
		The Federal Protective Service (FPS), the Federal Air Marshals, along with the investigative arms from both the U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service combined to form U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

	Neville Peterson LLP: Customs and International Trade Law
		The Customs Service is authorized to exclude infringing merchandise from the Customs territory of the United States, seize it and forfeit it.
		While Customs has statutory authority to exclude goods suspected of infringing recorded marks, agency enforcement is not a mandatory obligation; the agency may (and should) decline to act in cases involving "close" questions of fact or law, leaving the trademark owner to pursue private remedies against suspected infringers.
		Accordingly, although the Customs Service's regulations preclude governmental enforcement of trademarks with respect to gray market goods in cases where the United States and foreign marks are owned by the same or related parties, the courts remain divided concerning whether, in such cases, markholders may exclude "gray market" goods using private actions.

	Receipt of Domestic Interested Party Petition Concerning Tariff Classification of Textile Costumes
		In HQ 957318, Customs stated that it had agreed to classify as festive articles in subheading 9505.90.6090, HTSUS, costumes of a flimsy nature and construction, lacking in durability, and generally recognized as not being normal articles of apparel.

	19:1141(127)CA - Customs Service, Washington, DC and Customes Service Region VIII Seattle, WA -- 1985 FLRAdec CA
		The "specific nature of the employment condition in dispute" was stated to be the "District Director's letter of suspension." The "statement of the circumstances giving rise to the grievance" recited the facts relating to the trade day and that this day fell during the time of the suspension.
		Rather, the test is whether, under the circumstances of the case, the employer's conduct may reasonably tend to coerce or intimidate the employee, or, in the case of a statement, whether the employee could reasonably have drawn a coercive inference from the statement.
		The Authority has held that the fact that a union steward is informed by an employee of a formal discussion concerning a grievance, and attends the meeting as a union's representative, does not fulfill the obligation of the agency to afford the exclusive representative the opportunity to be represented.

	Sea-Land Service v. United States (Fed. Cir. 2001)
		Representatives of Sea-Land met with Customs officials on February 22, 1995, to discuss the ramifications of the Texaco decision, HQ memorandum 113308, and their belief that Customs needed to comply with the notice and comment requirements of 19 U.S.C. § 1625(c) with respect to any rulings concerning the 1995-1996 repair expenses.
		Customs then proceeded to examine each of Sea-Landís vessel repair expense entries, finding that some, but not all, of the entered expenses satisfied the "but for" test and were thus dutiable under § 1466(a).
		Furthermore, although Customsí individual evaluation on certain expenses may represent the first time that specific expenses are handled differently, the new approach was not brought on by the will of Customs, but by the decision in Texaco, a decision of which the public was notified.

	BEFORE THE
		On January 14, 2003, Customs released a “Strawman Proposal” for air transportation destined to and departing from the United States.

		Secondly, it is crucially important for Customs to understand that the air cargo mode, and air transportation in general, are already subject to comprehensive security requirements and substantial governmental control.
