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").

July 13, 2017 |Customs

CBP on July 13 posted its partner government agency (PGA) message set implementation guide (here) for the National Marine Fisheries Service's Seafood Import Monitoring Program, it said in a CSMS message (here). The final rule, which goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2018, requires the filing of additional data elements, and also sets record-keeping and permit requirements, for certain species of seafood (see 1612080014). CBP says it will implement the new PGA message set requirements in the ACE certification environment for testing "no later than the first week of October 2017." The agency will deploy the PGA message set in the ACE production environment in November 2017 "for restricted filer/piloting/testing," followed by full deployment when filing is required in January 2018, it said.

CBP Makes Technical Changes to Export Requirements in Customs Regulations
July 12, 2017 |Customs

CBP is making technical changes to its regulations to conform to current export requirements, including recent amendments to the Census Bureau's Foreign Trade Regulations, it said (here). CBP's final rule adopts new terminology and makes confirming amendments to reflect the automation of export filing in the Automated Export System. For example, references to "shippers export declarations" throughout the customs regulations are replaced with "Electronic Export Information," changes are made to reflect the current names of the Census Bureau and CBP, and filing rules are amended so that they direct the "transmission" rather than the "presentation" of documentation. The changes, which affect 19 CFR Parts 4, 10, 18, 113, 122, 123, 141,191 and 192, take effect July 13.
