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 Finalizes Changes to Vehicle Importing Requirements; Would Allow Use of ACE for EPA Forms
December 23, 2016 |Customs

CBP will finalize changes to its regulatory requirements for importing vehicles and engines in order to "harmonize" the forms required by the Environmental Protection Agency, CBP said in a notice (here). CBP made some slight adjustments from its proposal (see 1608160015), which are meant to conform the entry filing requirements in the EPA Declaration Form 3520-21 to those that currently exist for EPA Declaration Form 3520-1. The changes CBP did make came in response to commenters that sought revisions to the proposal (see 1609190028). The rule allows importers to file required EPA forms with CBP electronically. The rule will be effective Jan. 26.
