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").

October 10, 2017 by Brian Feito|Top News

Software developers and customs brokers expressed concerns over the upcoming Dec. 9 deployment of statements in ACE, on an Oct. 6 conference call hosted by the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America. Though software developers reported that programming has been largely completed for some time, they said CBP needs to quickly issue transition guidelines and fallback procedures, especially given the widespread impact any issues with statements would have on trade.

With CBP regulations on new drawback procedures still not issued, software developers are growing concerned about whether they will be ready for the new system’s upcoming deployment in ACE. CBP has pledged to have capabilities in place for the new Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act drawback provisions on Feb. 24, but though the agency has found funding and begun its own programming efforts, software developers have been unable to start coding, leaving little time for testing before the deadline, several developers said in interviews.

Bill Would Require USDA Regulations That Could Expand Organic Certification to Include More Products
October 3, 2017 |Congress

Rep. John Faso, R-N.Y., introduced legislation Sept. 28 that would require the Agriculture Department to issue regulations within one year of enactment to limit “the type of operations” excluded from National Organic Program certification. The bill would require annual reports from USDA to Congress starting March 1, 2019, describing National Organic Program activities related to all “domestic and overseas” investigations and compliance actions taken during the preceding year. Further, H.R. 3871 would authorize $5 million from the Commodity Credit Corporation account to support modernization of trade and transaction certificates “to ensure full traceability without unduly hindering trade, such as through an electronic trade document exchange system,” according to the bill text. Additionally, the bill would give the agriculture secretary access to available data from cross-border documentation systems, including ACE, administered by other federal agencies, in organics certification investigations.
