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").

Broker Continuing Education Structure Still Being Worked Out
October 9, 2014 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP is continuing to work on how to structure the planned customs broker continuing education requirements, said Troy Riley, executive director of Commercial Targeting and Enforcement at CBP. Riley spoke briefly on the subject during the Advisory Committee on Commercial Operations (COAC) meeting on Oct. 7. There's been a number of discussions on "what type of models should even be considered," he said. "There's been a discussion on a board of directors model, a market model," and consideration of how the Department of Education and Council for Higher Education Accreditation have handled accreditation, he said. There has not been a decision on where to go "just yet," he said. The question of how to handle continuing education accreditation has been a difficult issue as the agency works toward adding requirements (see 14041002).
