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 Says New Funding Strategy will Allow for ACE Progress through 2016
June 5, 2013 by Tim Warren|Customs

A new funding strategy for CBP will allow for continued development of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), the agency said in the May version of its monthly update on ACE. ACE entered into an operations and maintenance phase in FY 2012 as it lacked the funds for further ACE development. CBP now says it and the Department of Homeland Security have developed a funding strategy "that gets us a good part of the way toward our goal of completing core trade functionality in ACE within approximately three years," it said. This new strategy "covers new development through FY 2014, and additional O&M cost reductions and internal funding sources are anticipated to cover FY 2015-2016 needs," said CBP. An agency spokeswoman didn't return a request for comment.

CBP's Seattle Field Office will start posting the public bulletin notice of liquidation (CBP Form 4333) electronically, it said in a trade information notice.
