US Customs and Border Protection[/url]]A. SIMPLE CASES(cases that generally present no problems in the application of the scope)
1. Mill "A" manufactures lumber products in the condition as imported into the U.S. directly from logs. Mill "A" is also the exporter (shipper and importer of record). The duty rates and exemptions are applicable according to the status of mill "A".
2. The same scenario as #1, but the lumber products are exported by wholesaler "B" (shipper and importer of record). Again, the duty rates and exemptions are applicable according to the status of mill "A".
Get my head around what? Again, which part of shipper
and importer didn't you understand? Mill "A" is a legal entity in Canada and the US. It has to be in order to conduct business the way it was described in your example.
I showed you the agreement that states the "importer of record" is entitled to the money. In your example, Mill "A" must be a legal entity in the US to be subject to import duties. The counterveiling duties imposed on softwood lumber was an
import duty.
You might be a self-proclaimed wizard at economics but you can't get passed practical applications of customs transactions can you?
When was the last time a traveller entered Canada and the customs agent asked the traveller for the retailers information for merchandise he purchased abroad so they can bill them the import tax?
