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").

ACE Changes Coming for Safeguards on Solar Cells and Washers, TIB Extensions
February 1, 2018 |Customs

Requests for extensions or closures of Temporary Importation Bonds will be deployed in ACE on Feb. 24, a CBP official said on the agency’s biweekly ACE call with the trade community on Feb. 1. While output records will mostly be affected, CBP will also be putting in a new input record to request the extension or closure, the official said. CBP will set up a daily support call following the deployment, which also includes reconciliation, drawback and liquidation. The call will be available Feb. 26 through March 2 from 2p.m. to 3 p.m., with the call-in number still unannounced. Meanwhile, CBP also is implementing recently imposed safeguard duties on residential washers and solar cells in ACE, effective Feb. 7 (see 1801230052 and 1801240036). New tariff schedule subheadings will be added in Chapter 99, as will a secondary unit of quantity for kilowatt hours in Chapter 85 so CBP can track the quota amount for solar cells and force filers to the high-quota rate once it’s filled.
