Black Space
Space is not totally dark as there is always some visible light, even among space dust particles. Such is the case with the moon. There is no dark side of the moon. The moon rotates along an axis with the earth, what is know as Tidal Locking, so we simply never see the other side. In addition, there is no such thing as zero gravity since when you are in orbit you experience a state that is called “zero gravity” or “microgravity” but gravity still affects your motion. An object in orbit is essentially in free fall. A satellite orbiting Earth is constantly being pulled toward Earth by gravity but it is moving sideways so fast that it follows a curved path that continuously missed Earth entirely. The principle applies to any object in orbit. Dig deep, peel back the onion, uncover the facts. It’s how we help our clients overcome CBP missing the science behind the exact makeup of their product and subsequently mistakenly not allowing an exclusion, and assigning a Section 301 tariff via a different HTS code, which BLG regularly files protests against. At BLG we love the science behind Global Trade Compliance.
