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").

March 21, 2024 by Noah Garfinkel|Customs

CBP will update ACE April 13 to enforce a shorter time frame requirement for filing type 86 entries, the agency said in a March 21 CSMS message. This announcement follows a Jan. 16 Federal Register notice that, among other changes, shortened the deadline for filing type 86 entries from 15 days after arrival -- the same as the deadline for formal entries -- to “upon or prior to arrival” of the shipment (see 2401120070).
