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 to Reassign ABI Client Reps, Re-Route Some Broker Questions Through Vendors
August 2, 2018 by Brian Feito|Top News

Upcoming changes to how CBP assigns ACE client representatives will result in many customs brokers and importer self-filers assigned to new representatives, but won’t completely shut off direct communication with client reps as rumored (see 1807310032), CBP officials said on an Aug. 1 call with the trade community to discuss the initiative. Under the new scheme, brokers and self-filers will be assigned to the same client rep as their Automated Broker Interface vendor or service center, said Steve Zaccaro, CBP’s client rep branch chief. Some vendors may also have to be reassigned between client reps to redistribute the current workload. Though CBP will take a case-by-case approach and may allow brokers and self-filers to stay with their current rep in “unique” circumstances,” most brokers and self-filers will be assigned to new client reps as a result of the change, Zaccaro said.

In-Bond Rules Enforcement Won't Begin Until February, CBP Says
August 1, 2018 by Tim Warren|Top News

CBP won't enforce parts of the agency's in-bond requirements until Feb. 6, it said in a Aug. 1 CSMS message. CBP previously planned to begin enforcement on Aug. 6 (see 1801050018). The delay is due to "issues identified with electronic communication for intermodal movement of cargo and other operational issues," CBP said. CBP will continue to stamp or perforate CBP Forms 7512 to verify exportation upon requests from a carrier "until further notice," it said.
