Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "universal service fund").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.(e.g. NTIA).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., "FCC chairman" +Pai).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., FCC -Carr).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "satellite" instead of "satellites" or "impose" instead of "imposed").

CBP Can't Refund Wine Excise Taxes Collected Due to ACE Processing Error, Agency Says
February 1, 2021 by Brian Feito|Top News

CBP can’t refund excise taxes mistakenly assessed on a wine importer as a result of an ACE processing error, the agency said in a ruling issued in 2019 but only publicly released on its ruling database Jan. 31, 2021. Despite the double assessment of excise tax having resulted from its own error, CBP held that its regulations only provide for refunds of excise taxes under certain circumstances, none of which apply to this particular situation. Instead, the importer must apply directly to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, CBP said in HQ H294599.
