Anticounterfeiting Consumer Protection Act: Customs Entry Documentation

This document provides an additional 30 days for interested members of the public to submit comments on the proposal to amend the Customs Regulations to implement section 12 of the Anticounterfeiting Consumer Protection Act of 1996 (ACPA). Section 12 of the ACPA concerns the content of entry documentation required by Customs to determine whether imported merchandise or its packaging bears an infringing trademark. The proposed regulatory provision requires importers to provide on the invoice a listing of all trademarks appearing on the imported merchandise and its packaging. The proposal was published in the Federal Register on September 13, 1999, and the comment period was scheduled to expire on November 12, 1999.
