Receipt of Domestic Interested Party Petition Concerning Country of Origin Marking for Cast Iron Soil Pipe
Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
Customs has received a petition filed on behalf of domestic interested parties concerning the country of origin marking requirements for cast iron soil pipes used primarily to convey waste water. Currently, Customs has permitted the importation of such pipes if they are marked to indicate their country of origin by cast-in-mold letters on the lips or edges or hubs of the pipes. The petition requests that Customs adopt a new rule under which the marking of all cast iron soil pipes would have to appear on the barrel of the pipe by paint stenciling in order to be considered conspicuous and legible and in compliance with the special marking requirements for pipes and tubes set forth at 19 U.S.C. 1304(c). Public comment is solicited regarding the application of these marking requirements to imported cast iron soil pipe.
