321 de minimis

De minimis is a policy described in 19 U.S.C. 1321 that allows the import of low value articles duty and tax free, provided their aggregate fair retail value does not exceed $800 in the country from which the articles are imported.  Additionally, the articles must be imported by only one person on one day. The previous de minimis threshold was $200, but the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 increased it to $800. Increasing volumes of de minimis merchandise, along with enforcement concerns related to fentanyl and counterfeit merchandise, among other things, have prompted calls to restrict the pathway. De minimis goods may be cleared off manifest, or qualifying goods may be entered under the informal Type 86 entry type.

Plaintiff Lacks Article III Standing to Bring His TCPA Claims, Says University’s Answer
February 2, 2024 |TCPA

Johnson & Wales University (JWU) denies “each and every allegation” in plaintiff Lawrence Wright’s Nov. 22 Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action that it, or someone acting on its behalf, makes recorded telemarketing calls to promote its degree programs, and does so without prior express written consent (see 2311270009), said JWU’s answer Wednesday (docket 3:23-cv-01941) in U.S. District Court for Middle Pennsylvania in Scranton. The university contends that Wright lacks Article III standing because he suffered no injury or that he suffered a “de minimis injury insufficient to satisfy Article III,” said its answer. If Wright did suffer an injury, as he alleges, any such injury “was the result of superseding intervening causes,” including his own conduct, for which the school “is in no way legally responsible,” it said.
