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 Create Collections System in ACE After Considering Alternatives
April 13, 2018 |Customs

CBP will debut a new collections system in ACE, despite some rumblings in a recent Government Accountability Office report that the agency may pursue other options (see 1803150014), CBP Office of Trade Executive Assistant Commissioner Brenda Smith said in an April 11 interview. CBP did explore alternatives as part of its routine decision-making process, including whether to keep collections in its legacy Automated Commercial System mainframe system or give collections its own separate development focus “from an acquisition perspective,” Smith said. But the obvious option was to finish collections in ACE, and other considerations were part of routine internal discussions with the goal of “making sure that we got the right answer,” she said. CBP is still working through the ACE collections development process, after facing issues that have turned out to be “more complex than we realized,” Smith said. But the eventual deployment will be an “internal financial system piece,” and CBP is “comfortable that ACE as a public-facing system is done,” she said.

CBP Watching for Misclassification, Valuation Issues for Section 232 Tariffs; Base Metals CEE 'Actively Involved'
April 12, 2018 by Tim Warren|Top News

Misclassification and valuation are among areas of enforcement focus for CBP's administration of the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, CBP officials said during an April 10 interview. "Classification is a way to play with it, valuation as well, but these are things we will have to look at," said John Leonard, executive director of trade policy and programs at CBP. There are some different considerations involved for looking at possible transshipments because most antidumping or countervailing duty evasions involve countries around China, such as Malaysia or Thailand, but those countries are affected by the 232 tariffs too, he said. "It's hard to put it in that same context," he said.
