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.

CBP Ruling Rejects Protest 'Supplement' but Says It Can Be Considered as New Protest
November 26, 2021 by Brian Feito|Customs Rulings

A protest supplement filed by an importer may not be considered by CBP as a supplement but should be accepted as a new protest, CBP said in a recent ruling. Though the supplement was too late because it came after the relevant protest was denied and addressed an issue not included under the original protest, the supplement otherwise met all requirements for protests filed by CBP, the agency said.

Gluten-Free Soybean Pasta Classifiable as Pasta of Heading 1902, CBP Says
October 7, 2021 by Brian Feito|Customs Rulings

Gluten-free pastas made from soybean flour are classifiable in the tariff schedule as pasta of heading 1902, rather than as soybean preparations of heading 2008, said CBP in a recent ruling. Instructing the port to grant the importer’s protest, CBP headquarters ruled that pasta describes food that has undergone a particular manufacturing process, and is not limited to a specific kind of flour.
