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's Smith Tells NCBFAA 'I Know We're Not Done' With ACE
May 7, 2018 by Tim Warren|Customs

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. -- The completion of "core" ACE was a proud moment for Brenda Smith, CBP executive assistant commissioner-trade, but she's aware of the remaining needs for the system, she said during a May 2 speech at the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America's annual conference. "I know we're not done," she said. "Let me say that again. I know we're not done."

Drawback Limits on Goods Under Section 232 Tariffs Retroactive to March 23
May 3, 2018 |Customs

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. -- The elimination of drawback availability on entries subject to Section 232 tariffs in most the recent presidential proclamations (see 1804300064) applies retroactively to the March 23 effective date of the tariffs, said John Leonard, executive director-trade policy and programs at CBP, during a May 2 interview at the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America's annual conference. The new language about drawback raised some questions about how it was applied (see 1805010027). The drawback issue had "been an open question" and something "we needed direction on," he said. Between the first proclamation and the most recent proclamation, "CBP pointedly made sure we tried to get as many technical questions as possible answered," Leonard said. "We expect our quota module to be ready pretty soon to be able to handle absolute quotas, which we haven't for many years."

US Is Country of Origin for Gyrocompasses for Procurement Purposes, CBP Says
May 2, 2018 |Customs

The country of origin for imported gyrocompasses is the U.S. for government procurement purposes, CBP said in a final determination. "We find that the French-origin [Inertial Sensor Assembly] will undergo a change in name, character, and use when they are assembled into finished gyrocompasses" in the U.S., CBP said. Based on those changes and "the totality of the U.S. assembly operations, amount and importance of U.S. materials, and testing that will occur in the United States, the country of origin of the gyrocompasses will be the United States for purposes of U.S. Government procurement," CBP said.
