The United States imports and exports more merchandise than any other country. This book covers the "nuts and bolts" of laws administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency charged with regulating imports into the U.S. and collecting duties, import fees, and related taxes. The book also covers the entry and record-keeping process for imports; intellectual property protection; CBP's penalty regime; the use of preferential trade programs; marking requirements; and the relationship of income tax transfer pricing rules in determining how inter-company pricing impacts declared customs values and, thus, global corporate income taxes. The system of judicial review by the U.S. Court of International Trade and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is also covered. Finally, the book summarizes the requirements of 47 other federal agencies that CBP is charged with administering and enforcing with respect to imported merchandise.

Here is the authoritative handbook on multimedia metadata and data management. In one volume, it gathers a wealth of information from the field's leading international experts in this emerging specialty. Multimedia data -- text, image, voice, and video -- poses unique challenges to product developers and database professionals in midsized to giant organizations. They need to know how multimedia can be effectively stored, accessed, and integrated into applications. The key is "metadata", which acts as an umbrella for multimedia data and allows it to be modeled and managed. In this invaluable guide, well-known contributors from the U.S., Japan, and Europe examine the metadata concept, present relevant standards, and discuss its global use in video databases, speech documents, satellite and medical imaging, and other applications.
