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 Implements MTB Provisions, Says Section 301 Tariffs Still Apply
October 15, 2018 |Customs

The Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Act took effect on Oct. 13 (see 1809140004) and CBP programmed all Harmonized Tariff Schedule numbers in ACE in preparation, the agency said in an Oct. 12 CSMS message. The MTB provisions are in subchapter II to Chapter 99, the agency said. The MTB reduces tariffs on nearly 1,700 items. "Since approximately half of the 1,660 MTB-eligible items are produced in China, there is overlap with Section 301 tariffs," CBP said. "Products of China subject to Section 301 tariffs can benefit from MTB’s suspensions and reductions for the general (column 1) rate of duty, but remain subject to the 25 percent ad valorem rate of duty imposed by headings 9903.88.01 and 9903.88.02 or 10 percent ad valorem rate of duty imposed by headings 9903.88.03 and 9903.88.04."

CBP's Proposed Treatment of Mixed-Use Drawback Claims Expected to Face Litigation
October 12, 2018 |Customs

CBP's proposed restrictions on claiming substitution drawback under the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act on claims made under the old law is expected to face litigation if the rules are finalized, said Dawn Olesky, vice president of drawback operations at STTAS. Olesky spoke on an Oct. 11 webinar hosted by UPS, which owns STTAS. The proposed rules (see 1808020049) don't allow for TFTEA substitution drawback on goods associated with an entry summary that was designated as filed under the previous law.

CBP issued a broad overview of the agency's plans to progress in four major areas in the coming years.
