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 Updates Notice on Frequency of Exam Inquiries for LA/Long Beach
September 21, 2017 |Customs

CBP's Los Angeles/Long Beach office issued a Sept. 20 public bulletin on "the responsibilities associated with the examination of all merchandise, containers (empty or packed), pallets, and other packaging material imported into or exported from" the U.S. The bulletin is largely the same as one it issued in 2012, but now includes a mention of the Document Image System in ACE and advises filers to make sure that entry documents are uploaded in DIS "to avoid unnecessary delays." Unlike the 2012 notice, the new bulletin doesn't include a mention of "Compliance Measurement (CM) Examinations (stratified exams)."

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau signed a memorandum of understanding to take part in the Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center, CBP said in a Sept. 19 news release. The CTAC, which includes CBP and Homeland Security Investigations, is a multiagency enforcement partnership. “The CTAC stands as a glowing example of how interagency collaboration as ‘one U.S. Government at the border’ can better serve the American public,” said Brenda Smith, executive assistant commissioner for the CBP Office of Trade. “CTAC collaboration, which is fortified by the progress of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Single Window, allows for better management of resources and more efficient, streamlined import processing.”

AMS Pledges ACE Capabilities for Organic Import Certificates, Fumigation Procedures
September 20, 2017 |Top News

The Agricultural Marketing Service needs to implement “controls at U.S. ports of entry” to ensure organic certification requirements for agricultural products are enforced at the border, the Agriculture Department’s Office of the Inspector General said in a report. The current lack of enforcement “increases the risk that non-organic products may be imported as organic into the United States and could create an unfair economic environment for U.S. organic producers,” the report said. As part of its response, AMS agreed to submit a request to CBP for new ACE requirements for organic products by July 2018.
