A Swiss manufacturer produces 1000 gadgets at a total cost of $6000 ($6.00 per piece). A Canadian distributor then buys the entire lot for a total price of $9000 ($9.00 per piece), and has it shipped from Geneva to his warehouse in Toronto. The Canadian distributor cannot find any buyers for the goods, which end up sitting in his warehouse for over three years, thereby becoming slightly outmoded. Eventually, he manages to locate a U.S. customer who negotiates with him and finally agrees to purchase half the lot (500 pieces) at a total price of $4000 ($8.00 per piece).

The designs were purchased from an engineering company in the U.S. for submission to the foreign supplier. What is the unit price of the shipment?

What is the customs value in the United States for a shipment of 1,000 batteries?

$530 Reason: CIF measn we need to subtract insurance, freight, and certain costs from the invoice value. .50¢ CIF x 1,000 = $ 500.00 CIF, plus assist $40.00, = $540.00 - $10.00 (freight and insurance) = $530.00. the polythene and cardboard backing is packing and was provided free so it is not part of the entered value or customs value.

A shipment of 860 dozen scissors, manufactured in China, is invoiced at $74.77 per dozen CIF San Juan. The invoice shows an estimate of marine insurance at $0.03 per unit and an estimate of ocean freight at $6,200. The bill oflading shows the actual ocean freight to be $4,750. The insurance bill provided shows a rate of $0.005 per unit. What is the transaction value for the shipment?

$59,501 Reason: 860 (Dozen Scissors) x $74.77 = $64,302.20. minus $4750 freight, minus $51.60 = $59,501. The insurance is calculated as follows: 860 dozen scissors x 12 = 10320 units/Scissors x .005. = $51.60 for insurance. The question is not clear as to what a unit is. IS a unit one dozen or only one pair of scissors.? (I can't get any other answer unless I use one scissor as one unit) Citation: 152.105(d)(1)(2)

A used mold was provided free of charge to a Korean manufacturer by the U.S. importer. The used mold cost the importer $75,000 prior to sending it to Korea. Because of its poor condition, the importer had it repaired for $2,500 before shipping the mold to Korea. The importer paid freight cost of $1,000 and the Korean manufacturer paid $500 import duty for the mold. What is the total value of the assist?

$78,500 Reason: 75000 cost of mold + 2500 cost to repair + 1000 transportation = 78500. The regulation (152.103(d)) does not address the duty paid by the Korean company, so that duty is not included. Citation: 152.103(d)(1)(2)

A used mold was provided free of charge to a Korean manufacturer by the U.S. importer. The used mold cost the importer $75,000. Because of its poor condition, the importer had it repaired for $2,500 before shipping the mold to Korea. The importer paid freight cost of $1,000 and the Korean manufacturer paid $500 import duty for the mold. What is the total value of the assist?

$78,500 Reason: I do not think the regs really address the duty paid by Korean Manufacturer. The definition of Assist is how much it costs the importer, not the foreign manufacturer. Since the cost was paid by the Korean manufacturer it is not part of the assist. So, 75000 + 2500 repair + 1000 transport = 78500. Citation: 152.103(d)(1) and (2)

$87,079.35 Reason: $100,000 - $6,000 international freight - $850 insurance = $93150 dived by / 1.069714 = $87,079.35. (1.069714 is one plus the MPF and HMF added together) 19 USC 1401a(b)(4)(A), 19 CFR 152.102(f), 19 USC 1401a(b)(3)(B), 19 CFR 152.103(i)(2)) Citation: 152.103

The actual MPF rate is 0.3464%

$93,401 Reason: Math 100,000 - 3000 air freight - 100 insurance = 96,900 / 1.03746 = 93,401. ( 1.03746 is 1 plus 3.4% duty and .3464% MPF) Citation: 152
