Clear Terms

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 Liquidation Notice Website Now Available Despite Access Issues
January 18, 2017 |Customs

The website for CBP's official liquidation notices is now available (here), the agency said in a CSMS message (here). CBP is working to resolve an issue with the site that causes a warning to show up in browser windows, it said. "This warning is being addressed, and users will still be able to access the site successfully in the interim," it said. "Please click through these warnings to continue navigating to the site." The notices "will begin to populate as soon as possible" and no later than Jan. 20, CBP said. As previously announced, CBP's official notices of liquidation, suspension and extension will no longer be physically posted at the ports (see 1612090026).

More Time Needed to Comment on CEE Regulatory Changes, Trade Groups Say
January 18, 2017 |Customs

CBP should extend the comment period on an interim final rule that makes regulatory changes reflecting the Centers of Excellence and Expertise to allow for consideration of the new administration, four trade groups said in comments to the agency (here). The groups are: the American Association of Exporters and Importers; the American Petroleum Institute; the National Association of Beverage Importers; and the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones. "With a new Administration scheduled to take office on January 20th, we believe it is prudent to extend the deadline to insure the criticalness of the trade and the directives of a new Administration have appropriate time to also confer any new thinking or perspective," the groups said. The comment period is scheduled to close Jan. 19 (see 1612190014). The associations ask for another 60 days to submit comments on the interim final rule, which "represents the most significant change in the way CBP operates and interacts as the trade community since CBP became part of the Department of Homeland Security." The comments are dated Jan. 13 and were posted Jan. 17.

CBP Revokes Ruling on Arista Product Redesign
January 17, 2017 |Customs

CBP revoked its ruling that said a redesign of network switches by Arista Networks kept the merchandise beyond the scope of an International Trade Commission limited exclusion order, Cisco said in a Jan. 14 blog post (here). Arista celebrated the CBP's initial November ruling, saying it meant Arista could import the products at issue unimpeded (see 1611290032). Cisco, which is litigating over patent issues with Arista in multiple venues, sought the ruling revocation in December. While the CBP notice to Cisco's lawyers on the revocation (here) doesn't go into detail, Cisco said it means "Arista has lost the authorization to import or continue selling its products in the U.S., or to import components to build those products."
