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").

Parties involved in an EAPA investigation may seek an administrative review during the 30 days following a final determination.

Northern Border Slowdowns Probable If Canada Legalizes Marijuana on July 1, CBP's Owen Says
December 8, 2017 |Customs

ATLANTA -- Northern border trade with Canada could see some disruptions if Canada moves forward with its plans to legalize marijuana on July 1, said Todd Owen, executive assistant commissioner of CBP’s Office of Field Operations, at the East Coast Trade Symposium on Dec. 6. CBP will stop trucks at the border if there has been an indication of drug use or the presence of drugs in the vehicle, he said. “We are going to be stopping more trucks and more people at the border,” he said. Those who know the Northern border know already that “we don’t have a lot of room to do a lot of secondary inspections,” Owen said. “You need to be paying attention to this, because we are not going to be surging resources to the Northern border to allocate for this,” he said.

CBP Working on Rewrite of Vessel Entrance, Clearance Regulations
December 7, 2017 |Customs

ATLANTA -- CBP is working on rewriting vessel clearance and entrance regulations in 19 CFR Part 4, which should save the private sector “well into the hundreds of millions of dollars,” CBP Office of Field Operations Manifest and Conveyance Security Director Manuel Garza said during the CBP East Coast Trade Symposium. The policy is expected to fulfill President Donald Trump’s Jan. 30 executive order directing the repeal of two regulations for every new one implemented, because it satisfies an exemption of the order for deregulatory action, according to Garza. “There’s a lot of things that we don’t need anymore that are in that chapter,” he said. “There’s a lot of things that we’re kind of combining, getting rid of.”

CBP to Increase Civil Monetary Penalties for Inflation
December 7, 2017 |Customs

CBP will make inflationary adjustments for civil monetary penalties related to three types of violations, the agency said in a final rule. The adjustments apply to penalties for "dealing in or using an empty stamped imported liquor container after it has already been used once" and the use of non-coastwise qualified vessels for transportation and towing, it said. The penalties were mistakenly left out of previous Department of Homeland Security rulemakings, it said.
