CBP CROSS Rulings

CBP issues binding advance rulings in connection with the importation of merchandise into the United States. They issue the rulings to give the trade community transparency of how CBP will treat a prospective import or carrier transaction. Common rulings include the tariff classification, country of origin, or free trade agreement applicability of merchandise, among other things. These rulings are available in CBP's Customs Rulings Online Search System (CROSS) database.

Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "surrogate value").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead. (e.g., CIT).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., CBP +ruling).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., ruling -NY).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls") or "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

Recent Rulings on XPCC Cotton WRO Inadvertently Posted, CBP Says
May 26, 2021 |Customs Rulings

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 “The underlying protests were withdrawn by the Protestant prior to a final disposition of the issues in accordance with 19 C.F.R. § 174.29.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.
