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").

Coming Importer of Record Database Won't Require New Regulations, Says CBP
May 27, 2016 |Customs

The importer of record database required under the customs reauthorization law (see 1602170074) won't require new regulations beforehand, said a CBP spokeswoman. "Section 114 requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish an importer of record program to assign and maintain importer of record numbers no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of the Act," she said. "This section does not require regulations." A CBP official recently said the agency's update to Form 5106 will largely be sufficient to meet requirements under the law (see 1605260009).

CBP Working to 'Sharpen Expertise,' Says Smith
May 25, 2016 |Customs

PHOENIX -- CBP will establish a five year plan meant to "sharpen expertise" at the agency, said Brenda Smith, executive assistant commissioner of CBP’s Office of Trade while speaking at the West Coast Trade Symposium on May 25. The plan is a response to retiring specialists within the agency as well as an ongoing modernization at CBP, she said. CBP will use a combination of virtual training, in-person courses, rotation "within CBP and other government agencies," and more interaction with industry, said Smith.
