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").

Labor Rights Group Petitions CBP to Stop Cotton Fabric from Uzbekistan
May 16, 2013 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP should prohibit the import of cotton yarn and fabric from Uzbekistan because the cotton is harvested by forced labor, said the International Labor Rights Forum and Cotton Campaign in a letter to the agency (here). The groups say cotton processors in Uzbekistan use only forced labor to manufacture the cotton and fabric. The government-run cotton industry requires its citizens to work in the cotton production system or potentially face a number of disciplinary actions, including loss of state welfare and physical abuse, they said. A press release on the complaint is (here).
