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").

CBP Says SIMA License Required for Pipe Spool Components
December 29, 2020 |Customs

A Commerce Department license is required for prefabricated pipe spools that include components that would require such a license when imported separately, CBP said in a Dec. 28 CSMS message. “Where the [Harmonized Tariff Schedule] classification requires a license under the Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) Program, a license is required for each entry summary line reporting that HTS classification,” CBP said. “Where the license is required but not reported for an entry summary line for an HTS, ACE will reject the entry filing. Accordingly, importers must obtain from Commerce, and report at the time of entry summary filing, a steel import license number for every entry summary line of a pipe spool where the HTS requires a steel import license.”
