Recent Rulings on XPCC Cotton WRO Inadvertently Posted, CBP Says

CBP prematurely posted two recent rulings involving the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in China and apparel importer Uniqlo (see 2105130031 and 2105200039), an agency spokesman said in a May 25 email. “The Uniqlo protest decisions, H318182 and H318835, were placed on the Customs Rulings Online Search System (CROSS) in error,” he said. “The underlying protests were withdrawn by the Protestant prior to a final disposition of the issues in accordance with 19 C.F.R. § 174.29. Accordingly, the documents were permanently removed from CROSS.” CBP removed the rulings on May 20 (see 2105210021). Neither Uniqlo nor Grunfeld Desiderio, a law firm mentioned in both the rulings, commented.
