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").

March 16, 2018 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP recently issued a new withhold release order due to suspicions of goods made by forced labor, said CBP's list of such orders. The March 5 order applies to "Toys" from China made by "Huizhou Mink Industrial CO. LTD." The WRO is the first order since September of 2016 (see 1609190019). The lack of WROs was the subject of concern among lawmakers during a hearing with Acting CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan last fall (see 1710240033).
