... the imposition of customs duties must be based upon the condition of the goods at the time of importation. If an importer misrepresents that condition(by misstating the origin, classification, value, etc. of the goods), then proper enforcement of the trade laws requires the imposition of the additional duties that were properly owed based on the condition of the merchandise at the time of importation. 3, record 1, English, - imposition%20of%20customs%20duties
