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 Posts New Information on ACE and PGA Pilots
November 23, 2015 |Customs

CBP added recent updates on the Automated Commercial Environment to its list of issues for the trade (here) on Nov. 18. CBP also provided links to a number of other ACE-related items in a CSMS message (here). Among those are the ACEopedia for November (here) and the adoption report for ACE in October (here). According to the adoption report, the ACE cargo release "submission rate grew from 8.3% in September to 10.2% in October." The low levels of cargo release submissions is a source of some concern at CBP ahead of the ACE transition dates (see 1510190017 and 1511050059).

CBP Promises Continued Consultation on ACE in Response to NAFTZ Concerns
November 20, 2015 |Customs

CBP is committed to "conducting the transition to [the Automated Commercial Environment] from our legacy systems in a manner that is sensible and responsible," the CBP Office of International Trade said in response to concerns from the National Association of Foreign Trade Zones. The NAFTZ recently voiced some worries for the timing of FTZ reporting requirements in ACE (see 1511190017). "We have worked closely with the NAFTZ and other key trade community stakeholders over the last several years on our plans for implementing ACE," said a spokeswoman. "CBP is continually evaluating the readiness around this transition and intends to do this in a way that does not disrupt the flow of commerce. We appreciate the concerns raised by the NAFTZ and will continue to work closely with them and all of our stakeholders to ensure we can successfully meet our shared goal of operating in a single window environment."
