Are royalty payments included in customs value where the applicable rules require them?

The company publishes no customs valuation, and it publishes no royalty or licence terms.

A question of that kind is decided by the party that moves the goods, under the rules of the places it moves them between, and the company publishes no customs or export position.

C-POLAR markets a materials technology. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The Terms of Use state: “The Site does not sell products or accept orders. These Terms do not govern the sale, delivery, installation, return, warranty, or use of a finished product,” and: “Accessing the Site or contacting C-POLAR through the Site does not create a partnership, agency, joint venture, distribution right, supply commitment, license, exclusive right, or other business relationship.”

A tariff heading, a declared value, an origin statement, a temporary-import procedure, a screening step and the terms that allocate clearance are matters for the importer or exporter of record and for the agreement between the parties to the shipment. The company does not give legal advice and does not comment on how a case would be decided. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

All questions

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
