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").

CPSC to Run Pilot on Electronic Filing of Certificates of Compliance in ACE
November 12, 2014 by Brian Feito|Top News

The Consumer Product Safety Commission will run a pilot to test electronic filing of certificates of compliance at entry before finalizing changes to its Part 1110 regulations, CPSC Commissioner Ann Marie Buerkle said. The agency is currently working with CBP to find volunteers to participate in the pilot, as well as to develop related software, according to a memo from her office. CPSC wants to have the pilot up and running by July 2015, but the timeline is dependent on CBP’s ability to accommodate the pilot, according to the memo.

Overhaul of PGA Import Regulations May Not be Possible by 2016, Says CBP's Smith

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- A wide-ranging update to the trade-related regulations of agencies outside CBP may not be possible by the 2016 deadline for completion of the International Trade Data System (ITDS), said CBP Office of International Trade Commissioner Brenda Smith. "People rarely want to change regulations," she said Oct. 17 at the Western Cargo Conference. "My guess is that, there is a lot more work than we are going to be able to get to by 2016," she said. Still, the Border Interagency Executive Council is already discussing ways to make improvements, such as aligning differing definitions between CBP and the Food and Drug Administration for unique identifiers and port facilities, she said.

CBP Must Optimize Resources, Increase Port Standardization, Says Kerlikowske
October 21, 2014 by Tim Warren|Top News

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- It's important that the port directors and field operations directors have the authority to shift and move resources in order to reduce exam times and cargo slowdowns, said CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske on Oct. 18 while speaking at the Western Cargo Conference. CBP could also use additional manpower, said Kerlikowske. While Congress approved a fiscal year 2014 funding increase to hire 2,000 additional CBP officers in fiscal year 2014, which the agency is still in the process of hiring, the White House asked for another 2,000 for FY2015 (see 14040301).
