Customs Brokers/Importers:
Do you have merchandise subject to quota?  Did you know that sometimes
transshipment is used as a means of evading quotas by concealing the true
country of origin?  The Federal Register of April 9, 2001 lists companies
in Taiwan that have been determined to be illegally transshipping textile
goods in order to evade quotas.  Their goods are now denied entry.  See
GISTnet glossary for definitions of quota
http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/quota.html, transshipment
http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/transshipment.html, and country of
origin http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/country_of_origin.html.  The
Federal Register can be accessed at
