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 Again Extends ACAS Pilot
July 21, 2016 |Customs

CBP will again extend its Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) pilot, which allows for early filing of cargo data, for another year, through July 26, 2017, the agency said (here). Unlike past extensions, CBP is not seeking more participants because "the current pilot participants now represent a strong sample size of the air cargo community," CBP said. CBP still plans to issue a proposed rulemaking for ACAS and "has begun work on that process," it said. CBP plans to run the pilot during the regulatory process, it said. "This will provide continuity in the flow of advance air cargo security information and serve as a stop-gap measure to address the vulnerability of the air cargo supply chain." CBP has extended the pilot several times, most recently last year (see 1507240021). Some additional steps are required before the rulemaking process begins, said Brandon Fried, executive director of the Airforwarders Association. A necessary Office of Management and Budget economic impact review and a need for further testing of standard operating procedures are among the reasons the agency has not yet gone forward with a rulemaking, Fried said.
