Clear Terms

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").

Electronics CEE Handling Industry's Section 337 Enforcement, Not Clear if Other CEEs to Follow
June 16, 2014 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP is "grappling" with figuring out whether the "proper placement" for Section 337 exclusion order enforcement should remain at headquarters or within the Centers for Excellence and Expertise (CEEs), said Therese Randazzo, CBP director of Intellectual Property Rights Policy and Programs. There's still work to be done before the agency decides if the enforcement could be better handled at the CEEs, though one CEE has already started to handle such enforcement, she said while speaking at the American Conference Institute Import Compliance and Enforcement forum on June 13. "Currently, the enforcement of 337 orders still rests with headquarters, with the exception of enforcement orders that are in the electronics sector," said Randazzo. "The electronics Center for Excellence and Expertise is in fact doing enforcement of those orders, but all the rest are actually in my office." CBP is tasked with stopping imports named in Section 337 exclusion orders, which the International Trade Commission issues when it finds intellectual property rights violations to block imports of infringing products.
