21.	Cost of Sales

The Tokyo District Court and, on appeal in 2017, the Tokyo High Court upheld the Japan customs authorities’ customs assessments related to the importation of several of the Company’s products into Japan. The Company appealed the High Court’s decision to the Japan Supreme Court. In May 2018, the Japan Supreme Court declined to hear the Company’s appeal. Accordingly, this matter is now closed.

As previously disclosed, the Company already recorded a charge of $31.4 million to cost of sales in the first quarter of 2016, when the District Court issued its decision. This charge represents the full amount that was disputed. It was a non-cash item because the Company was previously required to pay the assessments.
