    CIT denies preliminary injunction against CBP deactivation of customs broker's entry filer code

    The U.S. Court of International Trade denied Forrest Xu's motion for a preliminary injunction in Slip Op. 26-115, Court No. 26-03403, leaving in place CBP's deactivation of his entry filer code, which prevents him from filing entries electronically through ABI and by paper under that code. Judge Lisa W. Wang found Xu was not likely to succeed on the merits of his due process claim. CBP's June 1, 2026 letter told Xu he could seek reinstatement of the entry filer code after a minimum of 180 calendar days from the date of that letter.

    CIT grants default judgment against Franco Tire Distribution in Section 1592 penalty case

    The U.S. Court of International Trade granted the government's motion for default judgment against Franco Tire Distribution, Inc., a U.S. importer, in a civil penalty case under 19 U.S.C. § 1592, entering judgment of $55,882.98 plus interest in Slip Op. 26-66, Court No. 24-00161, dated June 17, 2026. The government alleged that Franco negligently omitted the antidumping case number A-570-040-000 and countervailing case number C-570-041-000 from entry summaries for two entries of truck and bus tires from China, and failed to pay estimated AD/CVD duties at importation. Franco later corrected the summaries and paid $27,941.49 in duties but did not pay the penalty of two times that amount.
