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 to Begin Test of Streamlined Manifest Requirements for Canadian Trucks Transiting U.S.
April 26, 2016 |Customs

CBP will begin a pilot program that allows for electronic submission and relaxed data requirements for truck shipments from and to Canada that transit the U.S., it said (here). Rather than submit the current paper form, participating truck carriers carrying transit cargo that originated in and is destined for Canada will be able to file only their electronic manifest with CBP 30 minutes before arrival, under a new shipment type with an estimated value where the value is unavailable, and a precise product description instead of a six-digit HTS subheading. Participants will still be required to submit the paper manifest required by Canadian ports of entry, said CBP. Participation in the pilot is currently limited to nine Canadian truck carriers selected by CBP in consultation with the Canadian Border Services Agency. The test will begin by May 27, starting at the ports of Port Huron, Michigan; Pembina, North Dakota; and Blaine, Washington, said CBP. The pilot was developed under the joint U.S.-Canada Beyond the Border plan (see 1505210013).
