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").

February 14, 2017 |Customs

CBP recently "discovered that ACE may be increasing the number of late file cases due to a glitch," a CBP spokeswoman said. The National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America first mentioned the issue in a Feb. 13 email to members. CBP told the NCBFAA that it "is investigating the increase in 'late payment' penalties being issued," according to the trade group. "The Fines, Penalties, and Forfeitures (FP&F) field offices have been notified to thoroughly research liquidated damages claims before issuing to ensure that systems-caused late files are not subjected to claims," the NCBFAA said. "CBP will also review previously issued penalties and where warranted, cancel."
