Customs withdraws Jones Act proposal

   U.S. Customs and Border Protection said last week it would withdraw a proposal to modify its position on the Jones Act's applicability on transport of material from U.S. ports to the offshore sites such as oil and gas wells.

   On July 17, in its weekly bulletin, the agency said it was proposing to modify and revoke ruling letters related to the applicability of the cabotage law “to certain merchandise and vessel equipment that are transported between coastwise points.”
