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 will allow more time for importers to submit documentation required for excise tax refund claims under the Craft Beverage Modernization Act of 2017, the agency said in a CSMS message. Due to the recent partial federal government shutdown, importers will now have until Feb. 28 to submit new spreadsheets and certifications or update previously submitted documentation before their entries are liquidated without the benefit of the CBMA tax rate.

FCA Penalty Settlement Based on False Representations to CBP on Imported Vehicles, Agency Spokesman Says
February 8, 2019 |Customs

The recently announced $6 million penalty Fiat Chrysler (FCA) will pay to CBP to settle allegations it illegally imported non-compliant vehicles is based on claims that FCA, at the time of importation, “falsely represented that imported vehicles conformed with valid Certificates of Conformity and complied with all applicable environmental laws and regulations,” a CBP spokesman said. The settlement only involves FCA and CBP, and does not involve any other parties such as customs brokers, the spokesman said. The settlement is monetary in nature, with no new compliance program requirements. The agreement did not need court approval because CBP and FCA reached the settlement on their own, based only on CBP’s claims, and CBP was “not a party to the multi-district litigation overseeing [Environmental Protection Agency] and other claims against Fiat Chrysler,” he said. The Justice Department announced the penalty in January, as part of a total $500 million settlement related to allegations that FCA used devices to cheat emissions tests (see 1901100024).

February 8, 2019 |Customs

Two Americans and four Australians were arrested after CBP in January intercepted more than 1.7 tons of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin concealed in containers targeted for inspection that were bound for Australia at the Los Angeles/Long Beach Seaport, CBP said Feb. 7. The drugs, which CBP said included the largest-ever domestic seizure of methamphetamine, were discovered on Jan. 11 when customs officers found them packed into “single loud speakers” being shipped in two containers. The drugs consisted of 3,810 pounds (1.7 tons) of methamphetamine, 55.9 pounds of cocaine and 11.5 pounds of heroin, CBP said. Agencies assisting in the arrest included U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations and Australian federal authorities. CBP said the six people arrested are allegedly involved in a U.S.-based “transnational crime syndicate.”
