Appeals in the United States
Introduction to Appeals
There are typically about 273,000 state appeals filed each year in the United States, compared to approximately 56,000 federal appeals filed per year, according to information available from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and the National Center for State Courts. While certain states, such as New York, have very specific appellate filing requirements, federal appeals typically are more complicated and have more challenging document and filing requirements.
International Commerce: FATCA Appeals
These procedures are used by importers, exporters or producers of goods to request a second review of NAFTA decisions given by the customs administrations. See also the Article 510 of the NAFTA Agreement.
Chapter 12 – Appeal Procedures
The NAFTA grants various parties the right to appeal origin determinations, country of origin marking determinations and advance rulings made by any NAFTA country. Each country must provide at least one level of administrative review independent of the official or office responsible for the determination that has been appealed. In addition, each country must ensure that judicial or quasi-judicial review is provided in accordance with its domestic law for persons whose appeals are denied at the administrative level. Learn more about the NAFTA appeal procedures here.

Except as otherwise specified in this part 181, the procedures and other requirements set forth in this part 181 are in addition to the Customs procedures and requirements of general application contained elsewhere in the chapter I of Title 19.

19 CFR 181.75 – Origin Determination Appeals
(a) General. Except in the case of a pattern of conduct within the meaning of §181.76(c) of this part, following receipt and analysis of the results of an origin verification initiated under §181.72(a) of this part in regard to a good imported into the United States and prior to denying preferential tariff treatment on the import transaction which gave rise to the origin verification, Customs shall provide the exporter or producer whose good is the subject of the verification with a written determination of whether the good qualifies as an originating good. Subject to paragraph (b) of this section, the written origin determination shall be sent within 60 calendar days after conclusion of the origin verification process, unless circumstances require additional time, and shall set forth:
(1) A description of the good that was the subject of the verification together with the identifying numbers and dates of the export and import documents pertaining to the good;
(2) Subject to the provisions of §181.131 of this part and except in the case of a negative origin determination where specific findings of fact cannot be made because of a failure to respond to a follow-up verification letter or questionnaire sent under §181.72 of this part, a statement setting forth the findings of fact made in connection with the verification and upon which the determination is based; and
(3) With specific reference to the rules applicable to originating goods as set forth in General Note 12, HTSUS, and in the appendix to this part, the legal basis for the determination.
(b) Negative origin determinations. If Customs determines, as a result of an origin verification initiated under §181.72(a) of this part, that the good which is the subject of the verification does not qualify as an originating good, the written determination required under paragraph (a) of this section:
(1) Shall be sent by certified or registered mail, or by any other method that produces a confirmation of receipt by the exporter or producer, if so requested by the customs administration of Canada or Mexico from which the good was exported; and
(2) Shall, in addition to the information specified in paragraph (a) of this section, set forth the following:
(i) A notice of intent to deny preferential tariff treatment on the good which is the subject of the determination;
(ii) The specific date after which preferential tariff treatment will be denied, as established in accordance with §181.76(a)(1) of this part;
(iii) The period, established in accordance with §181.76(a)(1) of this part, during which the exporter or producer of the good may provide written comments or additional information regarding the determination; and
(iv) A statement advising the exporter or producer of the right to file a protest under 19 U.S.C. 1514 and part 174 of this chapter:
(A) Within 90 days after notice of liquidation is provided pursuant to part 159 of this chapter; or
