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").

CBP officially revised its mandatory-use date for several post-release functions in ACE, the agency said in a notice (here). "The effective date is delayed until further notice" and CBP will publish a later notice establishing a new effective date, it said. The agency recently said it is aiming to require ACE for drawback, reconciliation, duty deferral, statements and liquidation in January next year (see 1609280072). "CBP has determined that industry partners need additional time to prepare for the transition to electronic post-release capabilities in ACE," CBP said.

September 29, 2016 |Customs

CBP will update its rules to allow for an electronic alternative to the Notice of Arrival that's required for some imports of pesticides and devices regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, CBP said in a notice (here). Importers of pesticides and devices are required to file an NOA to the EPA, which then reviews and evaluates the information, CBP said. "CBP, in consultation with EPA, is amending the CBP regulations to permit the option of filing an electronic alternative to the NOA with the entry documentation, via any CBP authorized electronic data interchange system," it said. The change, effective Sept. 30, "will support modernization initiatives, including implementation of the International Trade Data System (ITDS)," CBP said. CBP also requested comments on the updated regulations by Oct. 31.
