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 Releases AD/CV Definition Guide for ACE
February 6, 2017 |Customs

CBP released a list of antidumping or countervailing duty case terms that can be used within ACE filings (here). The agency also provided definitions of the terms, which can be found in the "Search AD/CVD Case 'Company Status' field (i.e., 10-digit level company case page)," CBP said. The definitions "are for guidance only and cannot be cited to establish Department of Commerce Practice," CBP said. The agency also cautioned that "this information is used for cash deposit purposes only" and that merchandise "may be entered under a specific case number with an assigned cash deposit rate, but may be liquidated at a different AD or CVD rate."

ATF Allows Only PGA Message Set in ACE 'Effective Immediately,' CBP Says
February 6, 2017 |Customs

Importers filing data required by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in ACE are now required to use the ATF’s partner government agency (PGA) message set, CBP said in a CSMS message (here). “DIS images of ATF Forms, including Form 6 and 6A, will no longer be accepted,” CBM said. Importers that file the PGA message set correctly will receive an automatic “may proceed” from ATF, and barring further issues the shipment will be released, CBP said. Filers my also continue to submit original paper Forms 6 and 6A to the port of entry, it said. CBP also updated its list of PGA forms and filing procedures (here) to reflect the change.

CBP to Extend Comment Period on Jones Act Rulings
February 3, 2017 |Customs

CBP will allow for additional time for comments on proposed modifications and revocations of rulings related to restrictions on foreign-flagged vessels under the Jones Act, the agency said Feb. 3 (here). CBP's proposals would change the treatment of Jones Act coastwise laws for certain merchandise and vessel equipment that are transported between coastwise points (see 1701200018). Comments will now be allowed until April 18, CBP said. The extension will also be included in the Feb. 8 Customs Bulletin and CBP will then "seek comments on whether a further extension of the comment period beyond April 18 is warranted," it said.
