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 ESAR Test, Adds Access for PSCs, Etc.
November 18, 2013 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP modified the National Customs Automation Program test that allows importers to use the Automated Broker Interface to file post-summary corrections (PSCs) of certain pre-liquidation ACE entry summaries (ESAR IV). The modifications to the ESAR IV test program "will allow filers greater access to data filed in ACE as it relates to the original entry and any subsequent PSC, limit certain additional data elements from being changed via PSC, and preclude a PSC on any entry that has been protested or where merchandise covered by the original entry has been conditionally released and its right to admission has not been determined," said CBP. CBP has been considering how to handle the question of greater data access since soon after the test was announced in 2011 (see 11081219).
