A proposed label for retail packaged 12 VDC electric motors was rejected by CBP in a recent ruling letter for noncompliance with marking regulations. The proposed label, submitted by Tarping USA, is a decal placed directly onto the motor housing that displays a stylized “Imported by Tarping USA,” along with contact info and company information. Although the retail packaging is marked with “Made in China," Tarping questioned whether the decal would require an additional origin designation.

In the last six months, CBP provided training for the Mexican AEO team and in February, the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism and AEO Mexico representatives worked together to modify the Minimum-Security Criteria requirements for Mexico’s AEO program, which Mexico anticipates will be published in April after its legal review and approval by the Mexican Secretariat for Home Affairs, the fact sheet said.

The International Trade Commission began two Section 337 investigations on imported portable battery jump starters, the commission said in two separate Federal Register notices (ITC Inv. Nos. 337-TA-1359, -1360). The investigations follow a Feb. 13 complaint by the NOCO Company, an Ohio-based consumer electronics company (See 2302170011). The amended complaint alleged that 19 different respondents had infringed on five of NOCO's patents and the "NOCO X" design trade dress, and had engaged in false advertising and other unfair competition. In both investigations, NOCO asked the ITC for a permanent limited exclusion order and permanent cease and desist orders.
