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").

September 27, 2021 |Customs

Protest filings at CBP would be best submitted through spreadsheets uploaded to the ACE protest module, CBP said in a CSMS message. The number of protests have increased steadily over the last two years and CBP said filing spreadsheets would "assist CBP with processing protests." While not required, "CBP highly recommends that the trade community submit a spreadsheet to assist CBP," it said. Including a "spreadsheet containing the entry and entry line changes for a protest is a best practice allowing a more streamlined process to review and decide protests," the agency said.
