Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

US, UK Agree to Recognize Trusted Trader Programs
January 22, 2021 |Customs

The U.S. and the United Kingdom agreed to formally recognize each other's authorized economic operator (AEO) programs, CBP said in a Jan. 21 news release. “This arrangement will take U.S.-UK cooperation on supply chain security to the next level,” said William Ferrara, executive assistant commissioner of the CBP Office of Field Operations. “Mutual recognition of the U.S. and UK authorized economic operator programs will mitigate risks, improve information sharing, and eliminate red tape for our partners in the trade community.” The agreement means CBP “will accept the validation of UK Authorised Economic Operators (AEO) and grant them approval status in the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT),” it said. “Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs will likewise accept the validation of CTPAT members and grant them approval status as AEOs.”

Broker Notifications, Requested Documents Should Go to Broker Management Branch Email, CBP Says
January 20, 2021 |Customs

Customs broker notifications and requested documents that were previously sent to CBP headquarters should go instead to the email address for CBP's Broker Management Branch, the agency said in a CSMS message. That email address is brokermanagement@cbp.dhs.gov. “Documents do not need to be both emailed and mailed, as the notification will be received through the Broker Management Branch inbox,” it said. Among documents that should be emailed are national permit applications, exam appeals, license application appeals, license name change requests, notice by license qualifier of termination and changes in brokerage ownership, CBP said. “All documents required by licensing and permitting District offices are still to be sent to those offices via the means prescribed by those locations.”
