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 to Change Method for In-Bond Number Use
November 27, 2015 |Customs

There's an issue with providing high volume air in-bond users the range of in-bond numbers required due to the inclusion of air in-bonds within the Automated Commercial Environment, said CBP. "To resolve this the air trade entities and CBP propose changing the way a valid 9 digit number’s check digit is calculated to add a plus 1, 2 or 3 on to the MOD 7 check digit. If not identified as one of these Air high volume in-bond please continue to use the current nine digit in-bonds with a MOD 7 check digit," CBP said in a CSMS message (here). "Due to this change a note in the Instructional Guidelines (IGs) for the Air CAMIR, the In-bond CATAIR, the ACS Cargo Release and the ACS Entry Summary to include this format have been made and posted to the website. If your programing validates the in-bond number you may need to make change to include this as a valid in-bond number." No ACE documentation for ACE Entry Release or ACE Entry Summary was required because they do "not note how a valid in-bond number is formulated," it said.

CBP to Implement Advanced Unlading Approval at Port Everglades
November 25, 2015 |Customs

CBP will soon add Advanced Qualified Unlading Approval (AQUA) Lane privileges at CBP Port Everglades in Florida, said the port in an information bulletin. After Dec. 13, "requests to start cargo processing will only be granted through AQUA Lane," it said. The program is meant to allow for expedited vessel entrance for sea carriers that are Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certified, said CBP. Vessel agents must submit CBP Form 3171 with the Notice of Arrival to request AQUA Lange privileges and CBP will respond with a decision by email, said the port. "AQUA Lane, a joint partnership between CBP/C-TPAT, sea carriers and world trade associations will benefit all partners, as it will enhance CBP's utilization of resources and facilitate increased partnership in securing the overall supply chain," it said.
