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").

TSCA Certification Filing Still Required Prior to Release for FAST, BRASS Programs, CBP Says
March 29, 2017 |Customs

Importers and brokers that bring in chemicals subject to Toxic Substance Control Act regulations and participate in CBP's expedited release programs can use the Document Image System to submit certification information, CBP said in a CSMS message (here). Recent changes to TSCA regulations that went into effect March 21 (see 1701250080) eliminated the ability to use blanket certifications for imports covered by TSCA, including for participants in the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) and Border Release Advance Screening and Selectivity (BRASS) expedited release programs. Still "the requirement to submit TSCA certification prior to cargo release remains intact" for such programs, it said. "Importers and brokers can meet this requirement by uploading the required certification and certifier information through DIS (code EPA 06), associated to the bill of lading" or "by submitting the certification and certifier information in paper format." The Northern Border Customs Brokers Association raised concerns with the effects of ending blanket certifications on expedited release programs in comments on CBP's proposal last year (see 1609300031).
