Court of International Trade Orders Treasury and CBP to Issue TFTEA Drawback Final Regulations
On October 12, Judge Restani of the Court of International Trade (“CIT”) issued Slip Opinion 18-138 in the case of Tabacos de Wilson, et al v. Mnuchin et al. This Opinion also contains an Order that on or before December 17, 2018, Treasury and CBP shall file the final rule for Modernized Drawback with the Office of the Federal Register. This action by the Judiciary is a significant validation of Charter’s position that Treasury and CBP had violated the clear intent of Congress by withholding these regulations.
