“In its brief to this court, the Government insisted that breach of any duty imposed by 19 C.F.R. § 192.2 (b) could not give rise to a state-law claim of negligence. “[Bjecause federal regulations owe their force and effect to federal and not state law,” the Government contended, “they cannot serve as the basis for liability under the FTCA.” The Government’s argument (an argument from which it attempted to distance itself during oral arguments) is wholly without merit.”
