Canadian Customs Duty Examination [Abstract] |
Canadian Customs Duty Examination | Note 14 – Canadian Customs Duty Examination ​ In October 2017, the Canada Border Service Agency (“CBSA”) issued a final audit report to G-III Apparel Canada ULC (“G-III Canada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The report challenged the valuation used by G-III Canada for certain goods imported into Canada. The period covered by the examination is February 1, 2014 through October 27, 2017, the date of the final report. The CBSA has requested G-III Canada to reassess its customs entries for that period using the price paid or payable by the Canadian retail customers for certain imported goods rather than the price paid by G-III Canada to the vendor. The CBSA has also requested that G-III Canada change the valuation method used to pay duties with respect to goods imported in the future. ​ In March 2018, G-III Canada provided a bond to guarantee payment to the CBSA for additional duties payable as a result of the reassessment required by the final audit report. The Company secured a bond in the amount of CAD$26.9 million ($20.9 million) representing customs duty and interest through December 31, 2017 that is claimed to be owed to the CBSA. In March 2018, the Company amended the duties filed for the month of January 2018 based on the new valuation method. This amount was paid to the CBSA. Beginning February 1, 2018, the Company began paying duties based on the new valuation method. There were no amounts paid and deferred for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020, related to the higher dutiable values. Cumulative amounts paid and deferred through October 31, 2020, related to the higher dutiable values, were CAD$12.9 million ($9.7 million). ​ Effective June 1, 2019, G-III commenced paying based on the dutiable value of G-III Canada’s imports based on the pre-audit levels. G-III continued to defer the additional duty paid through the month of May 2019 pending the final outcome of the appeal. ​ The CBSA has issued its preliminary decision expressing its intention to deny the appeal filed by G-III Canada. G-III Canada has responded to the CBSA’s preliminary decision letter to correct facts in the letter that G-III Canada believes to be inaccurate. G-III Canada is awaiting the final decision of the CBSA and is evaluating prospects for a further appeal should the final decision remain unfavorable. ​ G-III Canada, based on the advice of counsel, believes it has positions that support its valuations for duty as declared and therefore its ability to receive a refund of amounts claimed to be owed to the CBSA on appeal and intends to vigorously contest the findings of the CBSA. ​
