联邦巡回法院驳回政府对《贸易协定法》中对特定药品标准的解释

2020年2月13日
2020年2月10日,在Acetris Health, LLC 诉美国(案件编号2018-2399)一案中,美国联邦巡回上诉法院判决认定,药品的药物活性成分(API)不能用以确定该药品的原产地,并维持了联邦索赔法院的相关判决。对于该判决涉及的药品而言,法院这一判决否定了负责 “实质性改变”(“substantial transformation”)认定的美国海关和边境保护局(CBP)的长期立场,海关和边境保护局通常以API的原产地确定药品的原产地。但是,如下详述,法院的判决似乎并不适用于所有的生产情形,因此,可以说,这一判决的指导意义比其最初看起来更为有限。
