Protecting First Sale claims is of critical importance as the first sale rule lawfully saves importers millions of dollars each year in customs duties, especially now with Section 301 tariffs still in place on most China-origin goods. However, the way in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection has traditionally reviewed first sale transactions has evolved considerably over the 30+ years of its existence, with the agency now scrutinizing more first sale claims and often focusing its decisions on legal areas not traditionally reviewed with the same level of scrutiny. This webinar will provide importers with both a history of the first sale rule and how it has been interpreted by CBP in the past, as well as a better understanding of what areas importers should focus on today to ensure compliance in the event of a CBP inquiry or audit.
