                 Subpart C_Procedure Following Petition

 

Sec.  175.25  Procedure at port of entry designated by petitioner.



    (a) Information as to character and description of merchandise. All 

information secured by the director of the port designated by the 

petitioner in his notice of desire to contest as to the character and 

description of merchandise of the kind covered by the petition and 

entered after publication by the Commissioner of Customs of his decision 

as to the proper appraised value, classification and rate of duty, and 

samples of such merchandise, shall be made available to the petitioner 

upon application by him to the port director.

    (b) Notice of liquidation. Notice of liquidation of the first of the 

entries to be liquidated which would enable the petitioner to present 

the issue desired shall be given to the petitioner by the director of 

the designated port as required by section 516. Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1516).

    (c) Further notice when issue not presented. If, upon examination of 

the information and inspection of any sample supplied by the port 

director, the petitioner believes and the port director agrees that the 

merchandise or the facts surrounding this importation are not sufficient 

to raise the issue involved in the petition, the port director shall 

then give the petitioner notice of the first liquidation thereafter 

which will permit the framing of the issue covered by the petition. The 

port director shall, under the same conditions, continue to give notice 

for so long as he is of the opinion that the petitioner affirmatively 

intends to contest. When the port director concludes that the petitioner 

does not intend to contest the decision of the Commissioner of Customs, 

he shall refer the matter to the Commissioner of Customs for his 

decision before issuing any further notice of liquidation.
