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 Working Toward Agreements with Costa Rico, Panama, Says Kerlikowske.
May 12, 2015 |Customs

CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske emphasized the agency's international outreach during a May 12 speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. CBP will sign an agreement with Costa Rico and Panama later this month as part of an effort to harmonize trusted trader programs, he said. The agency is working closely with other countries to work on such programs, he said. While there's sometimes a "real reluctance" for governments "to be too aligned" with industry, businesses generally want the same things in "safety and security" and CBP will work to "carry that message" abroad, he said. If approved, the CBP nominee for the World Customs Organization, Ana Hinojosa (see 1505070040), will likely help in that, he said. Kerlikowske is "supportive" of a customs reauthorization, though it's too early to give an opinion on the details of legislation that's now being considered in Congress, he said.
