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 Replaces COVID-19 Email Address With Relief Imports Web Portal
April 15, 2020 |Customs

CBP will use a new web portal instead of a dedicated email address to provide information “related to the importation of medical supplies to fight the spread of the COVID-19 virus,” CBP said in a CSMS message. The portal “provides an interactive experience for the user to review pertinent information and allows for the submission of a direct inquiry to the COVID-19 Cargo Resolution Team (CCRT),” it said. “While monitoring the inbox, the CCRT has been responding to many similar questions regarding the importation of various PPE and critical medical supplies. To alleviate some of the common questions, the web portal will have basic guidance uploaded to a FAQ section and valuable information in other areas of the site.”

CBP Ready to Implement USMCA Whether on June 1 or Later, Smith Says
April 15, 2020 |Customs

CBP is prepared to start U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement implementation whether it goes forward as originally planned or is delayed, Brenda Smith, executive assistant commissioner for the Office of Trade, said in a statement. “There is a great deal of effort to ensure the legal, operational and automation frameworks are in place and to provide guidance around the Agreement requirements,” she said. “CBP is working closely with [the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative], Treasury, and Labor [departments,] and is prepared to implement our effort -- whether that is June 1 as announced by USTR or later as requested by a number of stakeholders.” While there's been some indication the administration might push back some components of the trade deal (see 2004140046), the USTR hasn't announced such a delay.

CBP Says Changes to Chapter 98 Guidance on Section 232 Tariffs Not New Policy
April 14, 2020 |Customs

CBP's revisions to a CSMS message about the use of Chapter 98 provisions and Section 232 tariffs don't reflect a new policy position (see 2004130056), a CBP spokeswoman said by email. “These provisions are not new, and this CSMS merely reiterates these provisions from the Proclamation and [Federal Register] notice, and clarifies what was issued in a previous CSMS,” she said. “The provisions in the Proclamation and Federal Register are controlling.” Asked whether it's still true that "goods eligible for Chapter 98 provisions that provide duty-free treatment are free of Section 232 duties," the spokeswoman said, "no" and that "the updated version is the correct version."
