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").

C-TPAT Validations Slowing, CBP Document Shows
June 5, 2013 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP's validations of companies applying for the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program appears to be declining year to year, according to a list of C-TPAT program achievements released by the agency. While there's still time for 2013 to catch up to past years in terms of the number of validations, if validations this year continue at the current pace, they will be about half of the total validations completed in 2012. Through June 3, CBP has validated a total of 616 C-TPAT applicants, which includes 172 initial validations and 444 revalidations, said CBP. Last year, there were a total of 2,376 validations, including 640 initial validations and 1,736 revalidations, the report said. CBP didn't comment.

Ralph Lauren FCPA Case Offers Lessons on Customs Oversight, Benefits of Voluntary Disclosures
June 3, 2013 by Jessica Arriens|Top News

Ralph Lauren’s April disclosure of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations is both a lesson in the importance of customs compliance programs and self-disclosure and an example of harsh government penalties harming a cooperative company, trade and FCPA lawyers said. The FCPA case rests on a series of alleged bribes, over a four-year period, of Argentina customs officials by an Argentinean subsidiary of Ralph Lauren. The bribe payments and gifts were paid through the company’s customs broker in Argentina. Ralph Lauren settled the allegations through Non Prosecution Agreements (NPAs) with the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission (for more on the case, see 130423243).
