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 Updates Policies on 'First Filed,' 'Mixed Use' Claims in Interim Guidance on TFTEA Drawback
March 27, 2018 |Customs

CBP on March 26 released a new version of its interim guidance on drawback claims filed under new Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act (TFTEA) procedures. Changes in this third version include a new policy that entry summary documents for imports affected by CBP’s “mixed claims” policy do not need to be included in the required document image system (DIS) upload, as was required by the original policy guidance, but may be required for verification. The latest version also clarifies that claims will not be rejected if they do not comply with the “first filed” rule, but that claims that do not comply may be liquidated with no refund, “depending on how the rule is implemented in the final regulations.” Claim amounts may require modifications if there is a violation of the first filed rule, and the modification may be reversed when the claim is perfected, if the final regulations do not implement the first filed rule, CBP said in the updated interim guidance.
