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").

October 16, 2019 |Customs

The Section 232 tariffs on steel from Turkey are still at 25 percent, a CBP spokesperson said. President Donald Trump said on Oct. 14 that the tariffs would increase to 50 percent but didn't give a time frame (see 1910140004). The CBP spokesperson didn't say when the increase would take effect. Previous changes to Section 232 tariffs, including the previous increase and decrease to the tariffs on Turkish steel, were made through Presidential Proclamation. Neither the Commerce Department nor the White House commented.

CBP Proposes Update to Regulations on Copyright Enforcement at Border
October 15, 2019 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP is seeking public input on plans to update its regulations that would change how the agency handles imported goods with suspected copyright violations, CBP said in a notice. The proposal is a result of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act, which added some new pre-seizure disclosure requirements for possible violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, it said. Such disclosures would only occur when the copyrights were previously recorded with CBP, it said. Comments are due Dec. 16.
