Clear Terms

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 to Begin Hourly Processing for Absolute Quota
September 14, 2018 |Customs

CBP will begin hourly processing for absolute quota between 11:45 a.m. and 7:45 p.m. ET every business day starting on Sept. 17, said CBP in a CSMS message. Absolute quota shipments will also be made available for cargo release during those times, it said. CBP began administering absolute quotas earlier this year as a result of the Section 232 tariff on steel and aluminum. The agency recently noted it was challenged by the limit for processing quotas only once a day and said hourly processing was coming (see 1809100017).
