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 Stops Counterfeit Water Bottles in Charleston
October 10, 2017 |Customs

CBP seized counterfeit plastic and steel water bottles at the Charleston seaport that would be worth over $12 million if real, the agency said in a news release. The bottles came from China and were destined for a California drinkware distributor, it said. "Analysis of the shipment details suggested that the cargo warranted further scrutiny," CBP said. "In each case, the importer of the merchandise was unable to provide requested paperwork demonstrating that the manufacturer of the goods was authorized to use a unique bottle shape which is a style patented and trademarked by the S’Well Bottle Company." The company confirmed the trademark infringement, "from use of the same cap to the fluting on the bottom of the bottle and everything in between," CBP said.
