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").

June 5, 2020 |Customs

CBP continue to see and seize large numbers of counterfeit or unapproved COVID-19 treatment products, it said in a June 5 news release. Through June 1, CBP seized around 107,300 FDA-prohibited COVID-19 test kits, 750,000 counterfeit face masks, 11,000 FDA-prohibited chloroquine tablets and 2,500 prohibited anti-virus lanyards, the agency said. “Criminals and other bad actors are trying to profit from the coronavirus pandemic by introducing unauthorized, unproven and potentially unsafe goods into the United States,” CBP Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan said. “CBP continues to target these dangerous shipments while facilitating the entry of legitimate pharmaceuticals and medical supplies that are needed to protect Americans.”

CBP Seizes Drones on Issues With Undervaluation, FCC Required Labeling
June 3, 2020 |Customs

CBP in Detroit seized about 4,600 remote-controlled helicopter drones worth some $69,000 that didn't “meet Federal Communications Commission labeling requirements,” the agency said in a June 3 news release. The goods, which were imported from China and were subject to Section 301 tariffs, were also found to be undervalued by about $62,000, CBP said. The imports “were seized June 1 in conjunction with a previous shipment containing more than $400,000 in counterfeit merchandise” that was seized in late May, the agency said.

CBP Says Some Tobacco From Malawi No Longer Subject to WRO
June 3, 2020 |Customs

CBP updated its withhold release order on tobacco from Malawi so “that tobacco imported from Malawi by Alliance One International, LLC will be admissible at all U.S. ports of entry effective June 3,” the agency said in an emailed news release. CBP issued the original WRO in 2019 (see 1911010026). CBP “modified the WRO based on a rigorous evaluation of Alliance One International’s social compliance program and efforts to identify and minimize the risks of forced labor from its supply chain,” it said. “These actions produced evidence that sufficiently supports Alliance One International’s claim that the tobacco produced and harvested from their farms does not use forced labor. The WRO continues to apply to imports of tobacco from Malawi by any company that has not demonstrated to CBP that there is no forced labor in its supply chain.”
