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 Trade Processing, Duty Collection Up from 2013
January 26, 2015 |Customs

CBP processed $2.4 trillion in trade, up 4 percent from 2013, during 2014, said the Department of Homeland Security in a release of agency statistics (here). CBP also collected $34 billion in duties during 2014, up 2 percent from the previous year. CBP said it conducted more than 23,000 seizures of goods, with a total retail value of $1.2 billion, for intellectual property right violations. The agency also processed 25.7 million cargo containers, 4.5 percent more than in 2013, said CBP. DHS also notes that new capabilities within the Automated Commercial Environment has led to better accuracy of trade-submitted data and an increase in the number of entry summaries filed in ACE, rather than the legacy system, to over 40 percent. South Texas ports of entry also saw an increase in trade processing, said CBP in a separate release (here). CBP's Laredo Field Office processed a total of $162 billion in imports in fiscal year 2014, a 14 percent increase over the nearly $142 billion imports processed in FY 2013, the agency said.
