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").

McAleenan Says Regulatory Reform a Priority for CBP
June 8, 2018 by Mara Lee|Customs

BALTIMORE -- CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan told an audience of import and export professionals that CBP is going to use the White House directive on regulatory reform to edit regulations across many areas, including bonded warehouses, foreign-trade zones, vessel arrival, e-bonds and ending the requirement that customs brokers have local certification. McAleenan, who was speaking at the American Association of Exporters and Importers annual conference June 8, also touched on agency initiatives in improving screening of small packages, protecting trademarks and copyrights, and blocking shipments of goods produced with forced labor. He encouraged everyone to make e-allegations on forced labor, and said he just received one from junior high school students in Maine who are concerned about slave labor in the chocolate industry.

Drawback Details Expected in Coming Weeks, Trade Specialists Say
June 8, 2018 by Mara Lee|Customs

BALTIMORE -- There has been a long wait for details on how drawback will work under the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act, but Dave Corn, vice president of Comstock and Theakston, said things are going to be moving in the next month. The Office of Management and Budget is required to send the proposed rule back to CBP by July 5, and Corn said he expects CBP to release a proposed rule notification a week or two after OMB acts. A lawsuit on whether CBP's action to change accelerated payment practices was outside its authority for interim guidance should also be resolved within a few weeks, he said while speaking at the American Association of Exporters and Importers annual conference on June 8.

North America Moves Toward More Customs Cooperation
June 8, 2018 by Mara Lee|Customs

BALTIMORE -- There are some barriers to data sharing among NAFTA companies that would ease goods' flow across borders, but progress is steady, panelists said at the American Association of Exporters and Importers annual conference. Kim Campbell, founder of MKMarin, a Canadian trade services firm, said some of the problems with data sharing on Canadian exports is that Canada generally doesn't ask exporters to submit information if they're sending their goods to their southern neighbor. "We don’t actually collect export data into the United States," she said, and shipments from Canada to Mexico are often not tracked, either, because firms took advantage of the lack of reporting requirement for shipments south, as goods transited across the U.S.
