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").

Work Toward Section 321 Rulemaking Is Ongoing, CBP Official Says
July 20, 2022 by Tim Warren|Top News

CBP is still aiming to propose rules for a Section 321 data collection process that are based on the Section 321 data pilot and Entry Type 86 test (see 2101290033), said Christopher Mabelitini, acting director, Intellectual Property Rights & E-Commerce Division, July 18 during CBP’s Trade Facilitation and Cargo Security Summit. "What we're working on, to expand off of the current pilots we have now and to bring the two together, is a draft regulatory framework that's being drafted this year," he said. Mabelitini said he expects a two- to three-year time frame to get the draft notice out for public comment.

CBP will establish a new Vessel Agency Portal Account in ACE and will decommission the "Cartman and Lighterman Portal Accounts due to a lack of usage by the public," the agency said in a notice released July 19. "Account ownership will be a prerequisite for eligibility in the forthcoming Maritime Forms Automation Test pilot, which will allow Vessel Agency Account users to file electronic Vessel Entrance and Clearance Statements through the Vessel Entrance and Clearance System (VECS)," the agency said in the notice. A CBP official recently said the VECS notice would be coming soon (see 2207180051).

But liquidated entries of solar products “originating in Canada and entered on or after February 1, 2022, are not eligible for a refund of Section 201 duties” per a U.S. Trade Representative notice scheduled for publication in the July 20 Federal Register, CBP said.
