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").

Industry Reps Praise IPR, ACE Provisions in Senate Customs Bill; NCBFAA Urges Caution on De Minimis Increase
May 23, 2013 by Jessica Arriens|Top News

Industry representatives commended the Senate customs reauthorization bill in its first formal hearing May 22, and said the bill’s provisions on intellectual property rights, the Automated Commercial Environment, the International Trade Data System and de minimis will go a long way towards facilitating trade. The bill -- S-662, the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act -- was introduced by Senate Finance Committee leaders Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, in March (see 13032906 for more on specific provisions in the bill).

Customs Reauthorization Bill Necessary to Put CBP Focus Back on Trade, say Senators
May 22, 2013 by Brian Feito|Top News

Customs reauthorization legislation - an actual, tangible bill - is necessary to help shift CBP's focus back to trade facilitation and codify progress the agency has already made, Senators and industry representatives said at a May 22 hearing on S-662, the customs bill introduced by Finance Committee leaders in March. "The real question is how we reinvigorate this commitment to the trade side of CBP," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., at the Finance Committee hearing. Senators have tried politely asking CBP to do this, through letters and in hearings, but "that hasn't worked," Wyden said. "That's why we felt we needed to have an actual piece of legislation."

CBP Move Towards Electronic Bulletin Notice of Liquidation 'Long Overdue,' Say Industry Lawyers
May 10, 2013 by Brian Feito|Top News

CBP is beginning work on implementation of online bulletin notices of liquidation, and the elimination of posting at the customhouse, the agency said. The move is long-overdue and would make keeping up with liquidation easier for importers and service providers, said industry lawyers. The idea, which was suggested by a CBP Branch Chief, was one of four finalists for the government’s Securing Americans Value and Efficiency (SAVE) award. CBP has formed an implementation team that includes the official that came forward with the idea, said an agency spokeswoman.

May 6, 2013 by Tim Warren|Top News

CBP updated its list of its near and longer term priorities for development of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) in the April ACEopedia, a monthly CBP publication that provides updates on ACE progress. The agency document said work on three items, the Participating Government Agency (PGA) Message Set, corrections/deletions, and initial entry summary validations, will be completed by May 7. Those features, previously mentioned to be priorities, make up the first increment of its CBP's "agile" pilot programs.
