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").

New FWS eDecs Filing Needed for Some Cargo Diverted From Port of Houston, CBP Says
August 31, 2017 |Customs

Filers and importers of products regulated by the Fish and Wildlife Service will in some cases need to resubmit data in the FWS eDecs system for cargo diverted from the Port of Houston, CBP said in a CSMS message. As detailed in earlier guidance (see 1708290049), no new CBP entry is necessary for shipments diverted to other ports due to the closure of the port. “However, should the filer/importer not have already received FWS clearance, they must resubmit the FWS eDECs entry,” CBP said. “For example, if an eDec is filed in the Port of Houston but has been diverted to the Port of Miami, the eDecs entry will need to immediately be re-filed to reflect clearance at the Port of Miami. The diverted merchandise must not be picked up from the carrier’s premises until the FWS release is obtained.”

For those items, "capability will remain in [the Automated Commercial System] until further notice," it said.

CBP is seeking comments by Sept. 28 on an existing information collection for entry summaries, it said in a notice. CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this information collection with no change to the information collected. The information collection includes "a decrease in burden hours due to increased automation," CBP said.
