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 Should Clarify Ability to File Protests Covering Multiple Ports With CEEs, USFIA Says
March 22, 2017 |Customs

CBP should make clear if it intends to allow for protest filings at the Centers of Excellence and Expertise to cover multiple ports of entry, the United States Fashion Industry Association said in comments to the agency (here). The USFIA comments were part of CBP's docket on interim regulatory changes for the CEEs (see 1612190014). "Since this is a major change in protest procedures, USFIA suggests that Section 174.12(d) be further amended by adding: 'A protest filed with the Center director may include entries filed at multiple ports of entry,’” the USFIA said. CBP extended a comment period on the interim rules, which went into effect on Jan. 19, to allow for more participation (see 1701260010), though other comments were filed previously (see 1701250019).
