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 Joint Operation With Hong Kong Customs Stops $1.1 Million Worth of Counterfeit Electronics
January 5, 2017 |Customs

CBP and Hong Kong Customs recently seized 140 shipments of counterfeit consumer electronics as part of a joint operation between the customs administrations, CBP said in a Jan. 3 news release (here). The goods, which included cellphones, adaptors, speakers and headsets, would be worth $1.1 million if authentic, CBP said. CBP's mobile intellectual property enforcement team led the joint operation in November. “This is the third bilateral or multilateral joint operation CBP has conducted with Hong Kong Customs this year,” said Michael Walsh, CBP IPR and E-Commerce Division director. “We look to build upon our cooperation on IPR enforcement in 2017 and identify new opportunities to address areas of common concern involving the rise of e-commerce and its effect on small businesses.”

CBP Updates Fact Sheet on Forced Labor Due Diligence
January 4, 2017 |Customs

CBP updated its single-page fact sheet on supply chain due diligence for importers to help avoid involvement with goods made by forced labor (here). The only change from the previous version (see 1609150018) is the addition of a link to an online "responsible sourcing tool" (here). CBP continues to work on new regulations to implement the forced labor provisions of the customs reauthorization law, which repealed "consumptive demand" considerations (see 1606170040).
