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").

West Virginia Lawmakers Supportive of Petition to Reclassify Steel Profiles at CBP
May 6, 2019 |Customs

Three West Virginia lawmakers asked CBP to reconsider its classification of steel profiles that are the subject of a petition with the agency (see 1904020048). Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R), Joe Manchin (D) and Rep. Carol Miller (R) said in May 2 comments that a misclassification of the goods allows for importers of such products from the United Kingdom and Germany to avoid the Section 232 tariffs. Steel of West Virginia, which filed the petition, told the lawmakers that "steel special profiles represent an important part of Steel of West Virginia's product line, and their misclassification has hindered the company's ability to remain competitive and placed West Virginia jobs at risk." CBP "should take prompt action to ensure that these products are classified under the appropriate tariff category, ensuring the current Section 232 duty is being fairly collected," the lawmakers said.
