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.

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.
