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").

July 22, 2014 by Brian Dabbs|Customs

CBP and the Canada Border Services Agency will soon be offering some additional services related to joint Trusted Traveler and Trusted Trader programs, CBP said July 21 in a press release. U.S.-based importers will now become eligible to apply for the Customs Self Assessment importer program, a trusted trader program previously only offered to importers based in Canada. The U.S. and Canada also announced the formal opening of an eGate pilot project at the Peace Bridge crossing between Fort Erie, Ontario and Buffalo, New York that aims to allow NEXUS members quicker passage through the border. The projects are part of the Beyond the Border Initiative. “Our continued success in achieving Beyond the Border milestones illustrates our commitment to a strong partnership between the United States and Canada,” said CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske in a statement. “The harmonization of trusted trader and traveler programs benefits those crossing the border as well as the economic security of both countries.”
