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 Clarifies Section 232 Tariffs for IT Entries
April 5, 2018 |Customs

The Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum were only due on immediate transportation entries that were accepted by the port after the duty rates took effect on March 23, CBP said in an April 5 CSMS message. "Accordingly, entries of steel and aluminum articles covered by an entry for immediate transportation accepted at the port of original importation before March 23, may have been incorrectly rejected by CBP and/or incorrectly filed with a Chapter 99 steel or aluminum HTS classification," the agency said. The National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America gave similar advice in a note to members on April 4 (see 1804040018).

CBP Seeking Input on Increasing Authority Over E-Commerce Issues
April 5, 2018 |Customs

CBP is asking for industry input through the Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee about how the agency should go about getting more authority over e-commerce issues, two COAC members said. The request relates to recent congressional testimony from Brenda Smith, executive assistant commissioner in the Office of Trade, who was pressed by lawmakers to describe next steps for gaining such authority (see 1803060021). "During the hearing, EAC Smith agreed to a request for CBP to provide the Committee with recommendations for what types of assistance, be it new statutes or regulations, could provide CBP with greater authority to address e-commerce, intellectual property rights (IPR), and import safety challenges," CBP said.

New Steel, Aluminum Tariffs Don't Apply to IT Entry Goods That Arrived Before March 23, NCBFAA Says
April 4, 2018 |Customs

The recently implemented Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum didn't apply to goods under an Immediate Transportation entry if those goods arrived within U.S. port limits as of the March 23 effective date (see 1803230014), the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America said in an April 3 email. The NCBFAA said it confirmed that with CBP. "Thus, where an IT was filed for goods which arrived prior to March 23, 2018, 232 duties should not be assessed even though the entry summary was filed after March 23, 2018," it said. Filers that "have deposited 232 duties on IT shipments which arrived prior to March 23, 2018 should contact their [Automated Broker Interface] Client Representative to discuss the procedure for obtaining a refund of the 232 duties." CBP didn't comment.
