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").

April 25, 2018 |Customs

The country of origin for imported LED cabinets is Taiwan for U.S. government procurement purposes, CBP said in a final determination. Vanguard LED Displays "imports the components of the video display cabinets and assembles the cabinets from the imported components at their facility in Lakeland, Florida," CBP said. The agency found that the assembly process isn't complex enough to be considered a substantial transformation and all but two of the components are sourced from Taiwan.

New Focus on Fentanyl Shipments Having Minimal Effect on Commercial Cargo
April 25, 2018 by Tim Warren|Customs

Despite an increased focus on illegal fentanyl shipments at the federal level, the effects so far on commercial cargo have been minimal, Frank Russo, acting director of CBP’s New York Field Operations, said in an April 23 interview. "We've done a pretty good job of identifying the threat in the mail environment," said Russo, who is overseeing CBP's efforts to prevent illegal entries of the drug. "When it comes to the express world, you know DHL, FedEx, UPS, we haven't really seen too much of it there. It's mainly been something that's been more in the mail facility." Such issues are almost nonexistent through commercial cargo modes in air or ocean shipments, he said.
