` SEIZURE AND FORFEITURE ORDER
`
`The U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”) has informed the
`
`Commission that (i) the owner, importer or consignee (or the agent of such person) of certain
`
`vinyl tiles covered by a general exclusion order attempted to import the articles into the United
`
`States; (ii) Customs denied entry of the articles into the United States by reason of the general
`
`exclusion order; and (iii) upon such denial of entry, Customs provided the owner, importer, or
`
`consignee of the articles (or the agent of such person) with written notice of the aforesaid
`
`exclusion order and the fact that seizure and forfeiture would result from any further attempt to
`
`import the articles into the United States. The Commission having determined, based on these
`
`and other documents provided by Customs, that the issuance of a seizure and forfeiture order
`
`concerning the articles would be appropriate pursuant to section 337(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930
`
`(19 U.S.C. § 1337(i)), it is hereby ORDERED:
`
`1.
`
`Luxury vinyl tile and components thereof that are imported in violation of the
`
`general exclusion order issued in the above-captioned investigation is to be seized and forfeited
`
`to the United States, if imported by the following firm: Royal Floor LLC, 3999 Fruitridge Rd.,
`
`Sacramento, CA 95820-6461, or any affiliated companies, parents, subsidiaries, or other related
`
`
`
`
`
`business entities, or any of their successors or assigns.
`
`
`
`2.
`
`The Secretary shall serve copies of this order on the Secretary of the Treasury;
`
`U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Washington, DC; U.S. Customs and Border Protection,
`
`Savannah, GA 31401; the firm listed in paragraph 1 above; and counsel for Mohawk Industries,
`
`Inc., Flooring Industries Ltd. Sarl, and IVC US Inc., the complainants in Inv. No. 337-TA-1155.
`
`For the Commission.
