Unverified List Updates

Unverified List updates reflect BIS efforts to assess the legitimacy of foreign recipients of controlled items when end-use checks cannot be completed. Changes to the list signal heightened attention to diversion risks across global supply chains. This section follows new UVL designations, removals and related policy developments that affect screening and due diligence requirements. Coverage helps exporters adapt compliance processes to evolving verification challenges.

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").

ACAS Proposal Expected in Spring 2017, CBP's Clark Says
November 2, 2016 |Customs

A proposed rulemaking for the Air Cargo Advance Screening program is expected to be ready for public release in the spring of 2017, said Craig Clark, who oversees CBP's advanced data programs and cargo initiatives, during an interview with Airforwarders Association Executive Director Brandon Fried. Fried discussed the issue with Clark in a video from the International Air Cargo Forum in Paris on Oct. 28 (here). "We've had a pretty intensive couple years-long drafting process" that produced a number of "complexities" and CBP is "nearing completion," he said. "We've got an economic analysis that's being completed" now that will be integrated within the proposed rule, he said. CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske recently assured the air cargo industry that the proposal will not differ much from the ongoing ACAS pilot (see 1610040053).

CBP Releases Update on AD/CV Duty Enforcement for October
October 31, 2016 |Customs

CBP outlined its recent enforcement work related to antidumping and countervailing duties in an AD/CVD Update for October (here). The agency recently participated in "the first trilateral customs steel enforcement and cooperation dialogue hosted by the Canada Border Services Agency" in Ottawa, Canada, it said. The meeting included CBP, Mexican and Canadian officials, it said. "They are committed to strengthening steel enforcement throughout North America, communicating commonalities of steel products subject to additional import duties (antidumping and countervailing), and tackling issues surrounding the tactics used to evade these duties, such as transshipment, misclassification, and undervaluation," it said. "Opportunities for joint or parallel operations and information sharing of best practices, trends, and non-company[-]specific instances of duty evasion, within the limits of each country’s privacy laws were among the key proposals. These discussions set the stage for continued trilateral meetings and engagement to establish compliance operations essential to addressing steel enforcement across North America." CBP also highlighted recent honey seizures and meetings between CBP Executive Assistant Commissioner Brenda Smith and honey producers.
