PART 181_NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart I_Advance Ruling Procedures

 

Sec.  181.98  Situations in which no NAFTA advance ruling may be issued.



    (a) General. No advance ruling letter will be issued in response to 

a request therefor which fails to comply with the provisions of this 

subpart. No advance ruling letter will be issued in regard to a 

completed transaction.

    (b) Pending matters. Where a request for an advance ruling involves 

an issue that is under review in connection with an origin verification 

under subpart G of this part or that is the subject of an administrative 

review procedure provided for in subpart J of this part or in part 174 

of this chapter, Customs may decline to issue the requested advance 

ruling. In addition, no NAFTA advance ruling letter will be issued with 

respect to any issue which is pending before the United States Court of 

International Trade, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal 

Circuit, or any court of appeal therefrom. Litigation before any other 

court will not preclude the issuance of an advance ruling letter, 

provided neither Customs nor any of its officers or agents is named as a 

party to the action.
