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").

September 8, 2015 |Customs

The Food and Drug Administration is requesting feedback on enhanced microbiological surveillance sampling on raw, whole fresh cucumbers and hot peppers scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2016, said CBP in a Sept. 4 CSMS message (here). FDA will focus its sampling resources on the two high-risk products, “collecting a statistically significant number of samples over a shorter period of time, typically 12 months, and establishing standardized, transparent, and collaborative processes and communications,” said CBP. An FDA outreach team is soliciting feedback to ensure that these sampling assignments are accomplished as effectively and efficiently as possible and with minimal impact to affected industry, said the CSMS message. Feedback should be sent to FDAFutureStateEngagement@fda.hhs.gov no later than Sept. 18.

CBP, ICE Officers Complete Training on Textile Exporter Verification
September 8, 2015 |Customs

A group of CBP import specialists and ICE agents recently completed training in the prevention of textile trade fraud, said ICE in a Sept. 4 press release (here). Receiving instruction on “how to interview personnel at foreign factories and how to properly analyze and review regulatory documents,” the officers will now become members of Textile Production Verification Teams, which are “elite groups of individuals who deploy to foreign textile factories that export goods to the United States, in order to verify production and manufacturing capabilities,” said ICE. Under the TPVT program, ICE agents and CBP officers visit “around 10 foreign countries and inspect hundreds of factories every year,” and “findings of impropriety are reported back to analysts and program managers at headquarters so that appropriate measures can be taken in the field and at ports and mailing facilities,” said the release. The training was created by the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, said ICE.
