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").

GAO Recommends Better CBP Monitoring System for Imported Radiological Material Licensing
January 10, 2018 |Customs

CBP should develop a better monitoring system to ensure compliance with the agency’s license verification policy for imported radiological materials, the Government Accountability Office said in a report released Jan. 10. "Tens of thousands of shipments containing radiological material -- which terrorists could use to make a dirty bomb -- enter the U.S. each year through airports across the country," the GAO said. "The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and some states issue licenses for import and possession of the material," and CBP is responsible for verifying shipments entering the country are authorized.

CBP Completes ACE Statements Deployment With Minor Issues
January 8, 2018 |Customs

CBP completed its deployment of ACE statements over the Jan. 6-7 weekend, it said in a CSMS message. “CBP was able to verify that the ACE Statements system started successfully processing and transmitting responses back to trade,” it said. The agency has “been keeping a close eye on things,” having mostly resolved “some issues that fell out of the deployment,” and is monitoring others that are not yet fixed, John Everett of CBP’s Trade Transformation Office said during a call the afternoon of Jan. 8. CBP ran its first ACE daily statements just after midnight on Jan. 8, and “had a couple of challenges but got all the statements out,” Jim Byram of CBP’s Office of Information Technology said during the call. Some filers applied the ACE changes one day earlier than they should have, and as a result received “strange amounts” on their Jan. 7 statements, he said. “If you see something weird, that may be a reason why,” Byram said.

CBP will deploy statement capabilities in ACE over the Jan. 6 weekend, making ACE the “system of record for all statements with the exception of Reconciliation statements,” said the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders in an emailed reminder. “CBP will work with filers to address any issues related to this deployment of Statements in ACE, and will provide support as necessary,” hosting a series of calls starting on Jan. 7 at 1 p.m. and then continuing daily Jan. 8 through Jan. 12 at 2 p.m. (call in number 877-336-1828, access code 6124214). CBP recently posted its updated cutover plan for the ACE statements deployment (see 1712180042). Reconciliation statements will be rolled alongside the broader deployment of reconciliation itself in February (see 1712180042).

CBP Extends Non-Enforcement of In-bond Regulatory Changes
January 5, 2018 by Tim Warren|Top News

CBP will not enforce changes to the agency's in-bond regulations for another six months beyond when the agency previously planned to enforce the new rules, it said in a Jan. 4 CSMS message. The agency previously planned to stop accepting paper copies of CBP Form 7512 for input of in-bond records on Jan. 8, but now that won't take place until July 2, it said. "CBP Officers will continue to accept paper CBP Form 7512 and input the data on the trade’s behalf until July 2," the agency said.
