OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20508

November 13, 2018

RE: Product Exclusion Request Number: USTR-2018-0025-3849

Knowles Corporation:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the product exclusion request referenced 

above has been denied. As you are aware, USTR published a Federal Register notice (83 FR 

28710) on June 20, 2018, that announced the Trade Representative’s determination to impose an 

additional duty of 25 percent on certain products from China. On July 11, 2018, the Trade 

Representative published a Federal Register notice (83 FR 32181) which announced that a 

process had been established under which interested persons could request that products falling 

within a covered HTSUS subheading be excluded from the additional duties announced on June 

20. 

Your request was reviewed in accordance with the factors and procedures set forth in 

Section B(1) of the July 11 notice. Based on that review, and after careful consideration, your 

request was denied because the request failed to show that the imposition of additional duties on 

the particular product would cause severe economic harm to you or other U.S. interests and the 

request failed to show that this particular product is available only from China.

Because USTR will grant exclusion requests on a product specific basis, you may still 

benefit from a product exclusion if a similar product is granted an exclusion. Products for which 

an exclusion has been granted will be periodically announced on the USTR website. Product 

exclusions will become legally effective once published in the Federal Register. 

Sincerely,

Stephen P. Vaughn

versus

VICTOR MANUEL FLORES-ZAMUDIO,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 5:04-CR-2111-ALL

--------------------

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and DAVIS, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

Victor Manuel Flores-Zamudio appeals from his conviction and

sentence for illegal reentry following deportation, pursuant to 8

U.S.C. § 1326. Flores-Zamudio argues for the first time on

appeal that his Texas state conviction for burglary of a

habitation did not constitute a “crime of violence” for purposes

of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii). He correctly concedes that his

argument is foreclosed by United States v. Garcia-Mendez, 420

F.3d 454, 456-57 (5th Cir. 2005), cert. denied, 126 S. Ct. 1398 
No. 05-40399

-2-

(2006), but he raises the argument to preserve it for further

review. He also argues that Garcia-Mendez was incorrectly

decided. We do not disturb our holding in Garcia-Mendez. See

United States v. Taylor, 933 F.2d 307, 313 (5th Cir. 1991) (one

panel of this court may not overrule another panel). 

Flores-Zamudio also challenges the constitutionality of 

§ 1326(b). His constitutional challenge is foreclosed by

Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235 (1998). 

Although Flores-Zamudio contends that Almendarez-Torres was

incorrectly decided and that a majority of the Supreme Court

would overrule Almendarez-Torres in light of Apprendi v. New

Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), we have repeatedly rejected such

arguments on the basis that Almendarez-Torres remains binding. 

See United States v. Garza-Lopez, 410 F.3d 268, 276 (5th Cir.),

cert. denied, 126 S. Ct. 298 (2005). Flores-Zamudio properly

concedes that his argument is foreclosed in light of

Almendarez-Torres and circuit precedent, but he raises it here to

preserve it for further review.

AFFIRMED.
