Title: First Sale Declaration Requirement  
Abstract: This rule establishes an importer declaration requirement to assist Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in gathering information at the time of entry on the transaction valuation of goods imported into the United States under section 15422(a) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. Effective for a one-year period beginning August 20, 2008, all importers will be required to provide a declaration to CBP at the time of entry stating whether or not the transaction value of the imported merchandise is determined on the basis of the first or earlier sale of goods. CBP will then report the frequency of the use of the first sale rule and other associated data to the International Trade Commission (ITC) on a monthly basis. This document does not affect or modify the notice of proposed interpretation of the expression “sold for exportation to the United States” published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2008 (73 FR 4254), and CBP will not take any action with regard to the proposal until after the submission of ITC’s report to Congress, and the completion of CBP’s own economic analysis.
