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").

Automated Cargo Processing Reaches US Virgin Islands
October 28, 2020 |Customs

CBP will use automated cargo processing to “modernize and enhance the traditional way to process cargo” in the U.S. Virgin Islands, CBP said in a news release. To increase the safety of “employees and the community, CBP implemented an online electronic box where shipping documents can be uploaded 24/7,” it said. “Overnight or after regular hour submissions will receive a response by the next business day, unless the submission is rejected due to errors or lack of documentation.” The U.S. Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue is responsible for the process and collection of excise taxes, so completed submissions “must include an excise tax form issued by the VI Bureau of Internal Revenue,” CBP said.

CTPAT to Recognize BASC Certification for Business Partners Under New Action Plan
October 28, 2020 |Customs

CBP hopes to strengthen its relationship between the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program and the World Business Alliance for Secure Commerce Organization (WBO) under a new action plan, the agency announced recently. Under the plan, when a CTPAT member “has a BASC certified company as part of its supply chain, the CTPAT member only needs to document that this business partner is BASC certified in order to meet its CTPAT business partner monitoring and oversight obligations,” CBP said. Agency personnel will also now have access to WBO databases, CBP said. The plan will also result in creation of a Supply Chain Security Committee, described as an “expert group where supply chain security issues are discussed with organizations from the private sector that mirror what CTPAT does in the Public sector.” CBP said the “objectives under the CBP-WBO Action Plan will yield benefits to both organizations and to the trade at large” and that “with limited resources in both government and business, CBP must foster a global supply chain system that is prepared for, and can withstand, evolving threats.” BASC, which was originally the Business Anti-Smuggling Coalition, was within the U.S. Customs Service until 2002, when, after CTPAT was created, it was established as a separate nonprofit organization named WBO, CBP said.

CBP Unlikely to Allow WRO Goods to Wait in FTZs, Official Says
October 27, 2020 by Mara Lee|Customs

CBP is working on a response to the proposal that goods under withhold release orders could be held in foreign-trade zones before the final determination on its status, attendees at the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones virtual conference learned Oct. 27. But Jim Swanson, CBP director-cargo and conveyance security and controls, said “there are issues with that” idea, or else it probably would have been done already.
