submitted 96 years ago by ch. 497 to r/title-19-CUSTOMS-DUTIES · 101 words · no verdicts yet
A federal tax or charge is not treated as a customs duty unless its law says so. This does not limit the jurisdiction of the Court of International Trade or Federal Circuit.
A tax or other charge imposed under U.S. law is not a customs duty for a customs-revenue statute unless the law imposing it calls it a customs duty or says it is to be treated as a duty under the customs laws. This section does not limit or restrict the jurisdiction of the United States Court of International Trade or the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
No tax or other charge imposed by or pursuant to any law of the United States shall be construed to be a customs duty for the purpose of any statute relating to the customs revenue, unless the law imposing such tax or charge designates it as a customs duty or contains a provision to the effect that it shall be treated as a duty imposed under the customs laws. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit or restrict the jurisdiction of the United States Court of International Trade or the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
