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").

CIT Finds Listing Entries in Attachment a Valid Protest, Government Position to Contrary 'Unreasonable'
June 24, 2019 |Top News

The Court of International Trade on June 21 denied a government motion to dismiss an importer’s denied protest challenge, finding “unreasonable” the government’s position that because some entries were listed in an attachment, rather than in the narrative portion of the protest, the protests of those entries were invalid.

NOAA Releases List of Mexican Officials Allowed to Verify Seafood Shipment
June 13, 2019 |Customs

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration posted a list of 33 Mexican government officials that can verify that seafood from Mexico was not caught illegally using gillnets, CBP said in a CSMS message. Last summer, the Court of International Trade granted a preliminary injunction prohibiting imports of Mexican fish that might threaten the endangered vaquita porpoise (see 1807260039). The National Marine Fisheries Service requires that all Mexican-origin shrimp, fish and fish products include a “Certification of Admissibility” that contains the signature of one of the listed officials. "If a 'Certification of Admissibility' is validated by an official who is not on the May 31, 2019 Designated Officials List, the shipment will be refused entry," CBP said. "The submission of the 'Certification of Admissibility' may be done through electronic transfer into ACE DIS using DIS Code 'NM23', email, fax, or in paper to the CBP port of entry."
