Product description

The vessel repair entry at issue was liquidated on September 29, 1989. The Protest at issue was filed with Customs on December 29, 1989.

CBP rationale

Time limits exist for the submission of a protest and are established under the specific authority of the protest statute itself (19 U.S.C. 1514). As most recently established in the matter of Penrod Drilling Co. v. United States, 727 F. Supp. 1463, (C.I.T. 1989), the 90-day statutory filing deadline is paramount to the merits of a particular case. In this case, the Protest was filed with Customs 91 days after liquidation of the entry. Having failed to meet the filing deadline in 1514, this matter may not be administratively considered further.
