Implementation questions

Turn history into a decision.

Action to consider

Importers and manufacturers should identify affected product codes, check the case record and retain evidence for pricing assumptions.

Evidence to bring

Bring the current owner, a dated process or decision record, the applicable requirement and a measure of the outcome. Compare the record with the primary source before committing resources.

Limit

This is a selected desk review. It does not establish applicability to a particular organisation, the present legal position, or the outcome of a later policy change.

Questions for a review meeting

Use the event to test a real decision.

  1. Which purchased material matches the product scope of the case?
  2. What evidence supports current landed-cost assumptions?
  3. Who will monitor the final determination before prices change?

Keep a note of the source date, your decision, the owner and the point at which you will check again.
