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 Notice Outlines Schedule for Mandatory Use of ACE
February 26, 2016 |Customs

CBP formally spelled out its revised timeline for making the Automated Commercial Environment the sole Electronic Data Interchange for providing import data required by CBP and some other agencies in a notice (here). The notice follows CBP's recent decision to delay some mandatory use dates for ACE following readiness concerns (see 1602080042). "While significant progress has been made, continued concerns about trade readiness have necessitated an updated timeline for the mandatory transition to ACE for electronic entry and entry summary filing," said CBP. "As a result, CBP has developed a staggered transition strategy, to give the trade additional time to adjust their business practices and complete programming for entry and entry summary filing in ACE."

CBP Close to MPF Restructuring Proposal, Says CBP Adviser
February 26, 2016 |Customs

CBP is nearing a proposal that would restructure the current merchandise processing fee requirements to align with Trans-Pacific Partnership provisions, said Patrick Schmidt, an adviser to CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske. "We have identified a potential restructuring option," said Schmidt. "As we as we come pretty close to a conclusive recommendation on that end, we'll be working closely with [the U.S. Trade Representative] and our Congressional stakeholders to provide more detailed information on exactly what the restructuring recommendation looks like." Schmidt expects such a recommendation will be released in "coming weeks." CBP is said to be considering a "multi-tiered" approach to MPF as a possible means to satisfy a TPP prohibition on ad valorem import and export fees (see 1601280044). Schmidt discussed the issue briefly during a conference call with reporters on Feb. 26.

CBP posted a first draft last year and requested industry comments (see 1505180010).
