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").

October 20, 2011 by Elizabeth Parker|Penalties and Courts

The Court of International Trade has ruled that licensed customs broker Guillermo Lizarraga is entitled to reimbursement of attorney fees and other expenses after successfully challenging U.S. Customs and Border Protection's 2008 deactivation and suspension of his entry filer code for alleged misuse. The CIT states Lizarraga is entitled to reimbursement as CBP's1 position was not substantially justified and because there are no special circumstances that make such an award unjust.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued CSMS #11-000253 to announce that the 2011 ACE Customer Satisfaction Survey is being extended until midnight October 26, 2011 instead of October 19. CBP encourages all importers, brokers, carriers and other trade community users of the system to take the voluntary 5-10 minute survey, so that it can formally gauge the areas where ACE is doing well and where improvement is needed. A large response will ensure that there is greater statistical validity to the results. ACE portal users can access the survey here.
