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").

CBP Updates Process for Importing Goods Exempt From Section 232 Tariffs
November 8, 2018 |Customs

CBP updated its guidance on how importers of goods excluded from Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum can file entries and receive refunds, it said in a Nov. 8 CSMS message. The message includes information related to the change in policy allowing for product exclusions to apply starting on the day a request was filed with the Department of Commerce (see 1809040035), rather than the day the request was posted for public comment. "To request an administrative refund for previous imports of duty-excluded products granted by DOC, importers may file a [Post Summary Correction (PSC)] and provide the product exclusion number in the Importer Additional Declaration Field," CBP said. "If the entry has already liquidated, importers may protest the liquidation."
