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 Provides Instructions for Refunds Related to Recent Alcohol Excise Tax Cuts
September 4, 2018 |Customs

CBP planned to deploy flags in ACE on Sept. 1 to identify imported alcohol in instances in which the importer received a foreign producer allocation or assignment and may be eligible for refunds under the Craft Beverage Modernization Act, CBP said in a CSMS message. "CBP will issue additional guidance on information to be filed substantiating CBMA claims," the agency said. "Upon issuance of this additional guidance, importers will be encouraged to file the claim information simultaneously with the transmission of the entry summary flag. CBP strongly encourages the use of the CBMA entry summary line flag over the use of protests for identifying merchandise for which a CBMA allocation has been received from the foreign producer/assigning entity. Protests should only be used for CBMA claims if entries for which a CBMA allocation has been received have liquidated." CBP recently published a final rule that authorized CBMA refunds (see 1808150030).

CBP Still Finalizing Changes to Client Representative Division
August 23, 2018 |Customs

Planned changes to the CBP Client Representative Division elicited a high volume of "feedback from discussions with the trade regarding the new model for how we assign brokers, importer self-filers, and vendor/service centers to Client Representatives," CBP said in a Aug. 23 CSMS message. Currently, no changes have been made to the existing model and "before we finalize the approach, we will reach out directly to the client(s) affected by any changes," CBP said. Another webinar will be held in September before any changes are made, it said. CBP has said planned changes won’t completely shut off direct communication with ACE client representatives, as rumored (see 1807310032).
