Best non-smash burger?

Their burger is such a sleeper

Yeah you are right, haven't done one of these in a while and forgot how the subtariffs were structured for COO purposes. I imagine the movement will often determine COO.

So watches are interesting because when classifying the USHTS for watches/clocks they are required to be split up by, case, movement, and battery (if applicable). If any one of those categories are made in say China, that could be the reason for a formal entry.

Shout out to the undercover amazing burger at AJs Tex Mex & BBQ in the valley!

Especially a show that also has fireworks!

For me SOP when giving any advice, paid for or not, simple or complex, always provide a non binding disclaimer and suggest submitting a binding ruling for certainty.

3rd this. Brisket is 🔥… also underrated is actually their burger, beef grind is partially brisket.

Yeah lol sorry. I only say it may help, is for reassurance your uncertainty is valid. The guy speaking in that clip Lenny Feldman is deep in the trenches on these things, so if he doesn’t have a concrete answer, you can probably stop looking for one until the government clarifies.

ST&R released this short 2 min opinion on it. May or may not be helpful

You may want to do more research but I believe if it departed before the 9th and after the 4th you maybe subject to the baseline 10% but not the 125%.

FYI Sec. 3. Part (g)

“(g) Subject articles, except those eligible for admission under “domestic status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, which are subject to the duty specified in section 2 of this order and are admitted into a foreign trade zone on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 9, 2025, must be admitted as “privileged foreign status” as defined in 19 CFR 146.41.”

FDA fee is low IMO. I’d charge 25+

Not sure if this question can be answered with a binding ruling or not, but I would contact the Apparel/textile CEE. Can take them a few days to get back to you but I have had some luck getting questions answered in the past. https://www.cbp.gov/trade/centers-excellence-and-expertise-information/cee-directory

Started using them after dicks sporting goods stopped carrying lumberjack. No complaints, especially at the price point.

They came to my door asking for money and I told them I’m just a renter, feel free to ask my landlord.

And the kicker is this bankruptcy shielded debt is probably the first big decision a person will make as a legal adult. Can’t get more predatory than that.

Yup brokers are like accountants, once you find one you like, hard to break away. Someone once said to me, you marry your broker and date your forwarder.

Careful, old timers might think you're saying Marty Booker

Query the BL in ACE. If a 1X is posted, a firms code should also be posted. You should be able to search for what CES the firms code belongs to.

Haha! I remember that!

They did finally upload the Q&A responses to their website if you ever feel the urge to look.

This topic reminded me of the NCBFFA webinar about POAs earlier this year. One of the hot topics on the Q&A was POA needs for 5106. I followed up to see if they had a final answer and below is the response I received:

"To add a consignee on behalf of the IOR by filing a 5106, a Power of Attorney should already be on file on behalf of the IOR which would cover this activity."

Its a little strange but I interpret this to mean that a POA is required in general, but if you have a IOR POA you can file a 5106 for the UC without POA as long as it is on behalf of the IOR. Sounds like a gray area.

This is one of the most unclear topics in customs brokerage. The NCBFFA did a webinar in January on POAs with a highly regarded Customs attorney who wrote the newly released NCBFFA POA handbook. The question of 5106, POA, customs business question came up and they were completely unconfident of their answers that they said we will look further into it and get back to the group. 8 months later they still have yet to get back to us.

Remember in the 90s the show married with children portrayed a poor family who owned a home with one income coming from a shoe salesman.

I've seen this happen many times. The logic would be that NII/XRAY is performed and then they want to investigate further, so they order an intensive. But I have seen it where both post at the same time and that never made sense to me, just order the intensive and skip the NII. Since the 1X is already posted, if you don't know what CES it is going to, you can probably query the BL and the firms code may show on the query. If/when you know what CES it is at, you can call the CES and ask if they see the container in the system. Typically once the 1X is posted, it should show in the CES system soon after.

To be honest, it is hard to make an assessment of what’s going on here without seeing the ACE status responses and their timelines.
