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 to Conduct Pilot for New X-Ray Technology at Port of Donna, Texas
December 7, 2017 |Customs

ATLANTA -- CBP will soon roll out a pilot at the Port of Donna, Texas, to test bifurcated low-energy/high-energy truck X-ray technology expected to shorten primary inspections to seven seconds, said Robert Watt, director of the Non-Intrusive Inspection Division in CBP’s Office of Field Operations, on Dec. 6, during the CBP East Coast Trade Symposium. The current primary inspection process requires CBP officers to judge drivers’ behavior and documentation, then decide whether the driver should get out of the truck to allow an X-ray. But the updated process will allow drivers to stay in their trucks through the scanning system, which will use low-energy X-rays to scan cabs and high-energy X-rays to scan the truck container, Watt said.

The agency will still deploy e214 foreign-trade zones admissions in ACE and manufacturer ID creation on Dec. 9.

CBP to Issue ACAS Regulations in 3-4 Months, Agency Official Says
December 7, 2017 |Customs

ATLANTA -- CBP will likely issue its final Air Cargo Advance Screening regulations in the next three to four months, said Manuel Garza, CBP’s director of manifest and conveyance security, at the East Coast Trade Symposium on Dec. 5. The secretary of Homeland Security will sign off on the rule in the next week, sending it to the Office of Management and Budget, which has given CBP a three- to four-month “window” for conducting its regulatory review, Garza said. CBP expects to publish the rule in the first or early second quarter of 2018, he said. CBP Acting Commissioner Kevin McAleenan has said CBP will issue the regulations as an interim rule, rather than as a proposed rule with a normal notice-and-comment process (see 1710180049).
