§ 1530.209 - Enforcement.  


Latest version.
  • (a) If at any time after receiving the proof of export described in § 1530.205 of this subpart, the Licensing Authority determines that the export of sugar in the form of sugar containing products corresponding to the quantity of sugar transferred under the license did not occur, and has not been otherwise disposed of or lost in the manufacturing process as valueless sugar, and if the bond has been released under § 1530.203, the Licensing Authority may hold the licensee liable for the difference between the Number 11 contract price and the Number 14 contract price, per pound of raw sugar, in effect on the last market day before the date of transfer of the sugar or the last market day before the end of the period during which export was required, whichever difference is greater, times the quantity of sugar, converted to raw value, that should have been, but was not, exported in sugar containing products. In the event no Number 11 contract price or Number 14 contract price is reported by the New York Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa Exchange, for the relevant market day, the Licensing Authority may estimate such price as he or she deems appropriate.

    (b) If at any time after receiving the licensee's certification that no refund, as drawback, of any duties paid on the importation of any sugars, syrups or molasses described in subheadings 1701.11.03, 1701.12.02, 1701.91.22, 1701.99.02, 1702.90.32, 1806.10.42, or 2106.90.12 of the HTS has been or will be claimed or received on the basis, or as a result, of the exportation of any sugar containing product, the Licensing Authority determines that a refund of such customs duties has been claimed or received by the licensee or any other person, and if the bond has been released under § 1530.203, the Licensing Authority may hold the licensee liable for the difference between the Number 11 contract price and the Number 14 contract price, per pound of raw sugar, in effect on the last market day before the date of transfer of the sugar or the last market day before the end of the period during which export was required, whichever difference is greater, times the quantity of sugar, converted to raw value, that should have been, but was not, exported in sugar containing products. In the event no Number 11 contract price or Number 14 contract price is reported by the New York Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa Exchange, for the relevant market day, the Licensing Authority may estimate such price as he or she deems appropriate.

    (c) If at any time the Licensing Authority determines that a licensee has failed to comply with the requirements of this subpart, including the requirements of HTS subheading 1701.11.02 and of the relevant provisions of additional U.S. note 3, the Licensing Authority may, after notice to the licensee, suspend or revoke the license issued to the licensee under this program and may refuse to issue a license to that manufacturer. The Licensing Authority may suspend or revoke a license if claims are filed under 19 CFR part 191 for the refund, as drawback, of any duties paid on the importation of any sugars, syrups or molasses described in subheadings 1701.11.03, 1701.12.02, 1701.91.22, 1701.99.02, 1702.90.32, 1806.10.42, or 2106.90.12 of the HTS on the basis, or as a result, of the exportation of a sugar containing product under this program or if any other claim under 19 CFR part 191 is denied on the basis that the sugar containing product was not exported.
