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").

The Obama administration lifted the ban on imports from Burma (Myanmar) on Nov. 16, ending a prohibition that had been in place since 2003. The Treasury Department issued General License No. 18, authorizing importation of any products of Burma, subject to certain limitations. Imports of jadeite and rubies mined or extracted in Burma are still prohibited pursuant to the JADE Act of 2008. The general license also does not authorize transactions with persons blocked under the Burma sanctions program.
