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 Issues Harmonized System Update With 4,692 ABI Records, 935 Harmonized Tariff Records
August 31, 2016 |Customs

CBP said it created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1612 on Aug. 30, containing 4,692 ABI records and 935 harmonized tariff records (here). Modifications include changes made to the HTS Chapter 62 that were in the customs reauthorization law, CBP said. That customs law resolved errors in another law that created new HTS subheadings for recreational performance outerwear, but specified the wrong duty rates for the new tariff lines (see 1508080003). Adjustments required by the verification of the 2016 Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) are included as well. The modified records can be retrieved electronically via the procedures indicated in the CATAIR. Further information: Jennifer Keeling, Jennifer.Keeling@dhs.gov
