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 Work on IOR Rulemaking Underway, but Timing Uncertain
February 7, 2020 |Customs

CBP has started to prepare a rulemaking around changes to the importer of record regulations in response to a recent executive order (see 2001310062), a CBP spokesperson said by email. “We are working on the proposed rulemaking to establish importer criteria, but we do not have a timeline as of yet,” she said. The Jan. 31 executive order requires “a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish criteria importers must meet in order to obtain an importer of record number.”

CBP Says Section 301 Tariff Decrease for FTZ Goods Depends on Application Date
February 4, 2020 |Customs

The coming decrease to Section 301 tariffs on goods from China classified in subheading 9903.88.15 will apply to merchandise admitted to a foreign-trade zone depending on “the rate of duty and tax in force on the date of filing the application for privileged foreign status,” CBP said in a CSMS message. The tariffs on goods on the Section 301 4A list will fall from 15 percent to 7.5 percent on Feb. 14 (see 2001160019). Despite an industry request for blanket authority to allow for immediate delivery procedures (see 2001290037), CBP said that “immediate delivery procedures are not applicable.”
