The Central District of California considered these products, which were valued at $82,933.64 as drug paraphernalia and thus detained and seized the merchandise pursuant to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpo.gov\/fdsys\/pkg\/USCODE-2010-title19\/pdf\/USCODE-2010-title19-chap4-subtitleIII-partV-sec1595a.pdf\">19 U.S.C. \u00a7 1595a(c)<\/a> for violations of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpo.gov\/fdsys\/pkg\/USCODE-2010-title21\/pdf\/USCODE-2010-title21-chap13-subchapI-partD-sec863.pdf\"> 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 863<\/a>. The U.S. sued the shop owner and the Court concluded that \u201cdespite\u2026[the] erroneous characterization of the merchandise as \u2018hookah pipes\u2019\u2026they are bongs, and are therefore barred from entry into the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To determine whether the product is drug paraphernalia, the Court will not only consider the Code, but also other relevant factors such as the existence and scope of legitimate uses of the product in the community and expert testimony concerning its use. Under 21 U.S.C. Section 863(e), the following items are used to determine if a product is drug paraphernalia:<\/p>\n<p>(1) instructions, oral or written, provided with the item concerning its use;<\/p>\n<p>(2) descriptive materials accompanying the item which explain or depict its use;<\/p>\n<p>(3) national and local advertising concerning its use;<\/p>\n<p>(4) the manner in which the item is displayed for sale;<\/p>\n<p>(5) whether the owner, or anyone in control of the item, is a legitimate supplier of like or related items to the community, such as a licensed distributor or dealer of tobacco products;<\/p>\n<p>(6) direct or circumstantial evidence of the ratio of sales of the item(s) to the total sales of the business enterprise;<\/p>\n<p>(7) the existence and scope of legitimate uses of the item in the community; and<\/p>\n<p>(8) expert testimony concerning its use.<\/p>\n<p>There is no requirement that the violator had specific knowledge that the merchandise constituted drug paraphernalia. <a href=\"https:\/\/casetext.com\/case\/united-states-v-160-cartons-of-glass-water-pipes\">United States v. 160 Cartons of Glass Water Pipes, Case No. CV 12-8965- BRO (VBKx) (C.D.

This will continue to happen until Congress decides to enact a Federal Law that allows marijuana consumption on a federal level or drug paraphernalia within the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What Do You Do if CBP Detains and\/or Seizes Your Merchandise?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CBP has the <a href=\"https:\/\/diaztradelaw.com\/customs-border-protection-issues\/cbp-detentions\/\">power to detain<\/a> persons or merchandise and make admissibility decisions. If CBP believes merchandise should be detained, it is required to send a <a href=\"http:\/\/customsandinternationaltradelaw.com\/2011\/02\/24\/notice-of-detention-of-merchandise-by-u-s-customs-and-border-protection\/\">Notice of Detention<\/a> no later than five (5) business days from the day of examination. Often, the Notice of Detention does not specify the circumstances of the detention or is not even issued. It is important during this detention phase to communicate with CBP to discuss why your merchandise should not constitute drug paraphernalia and should be released.<\/p>\n<p>CBP also has the ability to seize your merchandise if it is contrary to law and CBP will send a <a href=\"https:\/\/diaztradelaw.com\/customs-border-protection-issues\/cbp-seizures-fines-penalties-and-forfeitures\/\">Seizure Notice<\/a>, which you will have 30 days to respond, and typically we respond in the form of a Petition. Seizure cases are complicated, it is best to hire an expert who knows the policies, internal procedures and practices of U.S. Customs. Most importantly, getting involved early in the detention process is the best way to tackle this issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Want to Know if Your Product Will be Considered Drug Paraphernalia Prior to Importing?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prior to importing your product, we recommend you review your product with an expert and determine whether to request a <a href=\"https:\/\/diaztradelaw.com\/importing\/#p8\">Binding Ruling<\/a> from CBP. In CBP Ruling <a href=\"https:\/\/rulings.cbp.gov\/index.asp?ru=h150766&amp;qu=hookah&amp;vw=detail\">HQ H150766<\/a>, an importer inquired on whether its hookah and hookah components constituted drug paraphernalia. The major issue CBP decided was whether the hookahs are \u201cprimarily intended\u201d for use with drugs since it is considered a multiple-use item. <strong>CBP ruled that hookahs are admissible merchandise into the United States <\/strong>and held that they are not considered drug paraphernalia based on the weight of the evidence addressing the 8 criteria as set forth in 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 863, specifically its intended use for tobacco and not drugs.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions on whether or not your product constitutes drug paraphernalia and are interested in requesting a binding ruling, or if CBP has detained or seized your product, contact our office at <a href=\"mailto:info@diaztradelaw.com\">info@diaztradelaw.com<\/a> or (305) 456-3830 for assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our office has increasingly received requests for guidance on importation of marijuana paraphernalia products to the U.S. where twenty-six (26) states have legalized the use of marijuana for medical purposes and\/or personal consumption such as California, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada.
