Pursuant to a Congressional mandate, the ITC has begun a review regarding the use of the "first sale rule" for valuing US imports upon entry into the United States and has requested written comments from interested parties. The review stems in large part from the uproar occasioned by a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) proposal that would have abandoned the first sale rule in favor of using the price paid in the last sale occurring prior to introduction of the goods into the United States. For more on the background of this contentious issue see Mayer Brown’s earlier Alert "The First Shall Be Last: US Customs Proposal Would Broadly Increase Tariffs on US Imports").
