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").

Administration's Deregulatory Policy Slowing ACAS Rulemaking, Industry Executive Says
September 28, 2017 by Brian Bradley|Top News

A Trump administration policy to repeal two regulations for every new one created could be complicating the Department of Homeland Security’s issuance of a proposed rule to make mandatory the air cargo advance screening (ACAS) program run by CBP and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Cargo Airline Association President Stephen Alterman told senators Sept. 28. "I think that one of the problems that they're encountering is we do have this new administration's rule that you can't put in new rules without taking two away, and the cost implications of that," he said. Acting CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan has argued that ACAS qualifies for an exemption from the "two-for-one" requirement because it has a national security basis (see 1705180027).

CBP Miami Details ACE Downtime Procedures for Airport Cargo Center
September 27, 2017 |Customs

CBP Miami issued guidance on local downtime procedures during ACE outages for the Miami International Airport Cargo Clearance Center (CCC), in a Sept. 26 information bulletin. Brokers experiencing downtime should submit a letter requesting manual clearance, accompanied by supporting documents including the invoice, bill of lading, partner government agency (PGA) documents and the ACE CBP Form 3461, the bulletin said. Brokers should notify the Miami CCC of any shipments that require expedited clearance. Copies of in-bonds, entry packages, delivery tickets, zone admission documentation and export documents will be kept by CBP for input by the agency upon system restoration, it said. “System performance issues may be local in nature, may not have been identified by CBP yet, and may not impact national operations,” CBP Miami said. “Therefore, CBP strongly encourages the Trade Community to call the established local CBP [points of contact] and notify Miami CCC of any system issues that are impacting their daily operations.”

CBP Final Rule on Changes to In-Bond Regulations Includes Several Revisions to 2012 Proposal
September 27, 2017 |Top News

CBP's final rule on changes to the agency's in-bond regulations (see 1709270017) include some major deviations from the rules the agency proposed in 2012. The agency decided against requiring several new data elements for in-bond applications and won't reduce the arrival reporting requirements to 24 hours, it said. The final rule follows several years of consideration of the proposed rules, which were issued in 2012 (see 12022131). CBP said it plans to provide additional guidance on the ACE requirements.

CBP Updates Notice on Frequency of Exam Inquiries for LA/Long Beach
September 21, 2017 |Customs

CBP's Los Angeles/Long Beach office issued a Sept. 20 public bulletin on "the responsibilities associated with the examination of all merchandise, containers (empty or packed), pallets, and other packaging material imported into or exported from" the U.S. The bulletin is largely the same as one it issued in 2012, but now includes a mention of the Document Image System in ACE and advises filers to make sure that entry documents are uploaded in DIS "to avoid unnecessary delays." Unlike the 2012 notice, the new bulletin doesn't include a mention of "Compliance Measurement (CM) Examinations (stratified exams)."
