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").

November 22, 2019 |Customs

CBP opened the first Eagle Pass, Texas, Port of Entry Free And Secure Trade lane at the Camino Real International Bridge, CBP said in a news release. “The FAST lane will enable U.S. Customs and Border Protection to offer expedited clearance to those carriers and importers that have made a commitment to increase the security of their supply chain and who have enrolled in the Customs-Trade Partnership against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and utilize FAST approved commercial drivers to import qualifying goods," CBP said. "The creation of a designated FAST lane is the result of a cooperative effort among many federal, state, and provincial government entities on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border and is expected to ensure the security of imported merchandise while enhancing the economic prosperity of both countries."

DHS Regulatory Agenda for CBP Includes STOP Act Requirements
November 22, 2019 by Tim Warren|Customs

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published its fall 2019 regulatory agenda for CBP. The only new trade-related rulemaking included is a proposed requirement for the U.S. Postal Service to transmit advance electronic information to CBP for international mail shipments. That rule is a result of the STOP Act, or Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention Act, signed by President Donald Trump in October 2018 (see 1810240052). CBP is targeting December to issue an interim final rule, it said.
