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").

Regulatory Audit Working Closely With CEEs on Compliance Surveys, CBP's Owen Says
November 10, 2016 by Tim Warren|Top News

NEW YORK -- The Centers of Excellence and Expertise are working closely with the Office of Regulatory Audit as it increasingly uses surveys to explore potential areas of compliance problems, said Todd Owen, CBP executive assistant commissioner, Office of Field Operations, Nov. 9 at the Apparel Importers Trade and Transportation Conference. Through the CEEs, "we look at all the disciplines that touch a company" so "there is that level of communication between the account managers, the import specialists and the auditors as we're going forward with this approach," he said. CBP is using “informed compliance” letters and questionnaires sent to importers as part of a broader shift toward the use of audit surveys in the agency’s compliance verification activities (see 1608090024).

November 8, 2016 |Customs

CBP released an "ACE Reports Catalog to provide a comprehensive inventory of all public 'canned' reports currently available in ACE," it said in a CSMS message (here). The catalog (here) is "designed to enhance the understanding of ACE Reports by clearly identifying, categorizing and describing reports available to ACE Reports users in the trade community," the agency said. "All reports are defined in a five column table that includes the subject area (e.g., Entry Summary or Cargo Release), the report number, report name, report description (including account types that have access) and a list of objects that appear in the report by default. The document is organized alphabetically by subject area (e.g., AD/CVD or Cargo Release) and reports are then sorted in ascending numeric order within each subject area." The catalog will "evolve over time" as needed, CBP said.
