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 Expands Pre-Departure ACE Export Manifest Filing Tests; Some Data Elements Now Optional
August 11, 2017 |Top News

CBP will open its tests of pre-departure manifest filing for exports within ACE to more participants, it said in three separate notices. The notices for vessel cargo, rail cargo and air cargo all allow for an expansion of the tests that began in 2015 (see 1507090011, 1508190007 and 1509080017). Previously limited to nine participants, each of the tests is "now open to all eligible applicants," CBP said. The agency also made some of the previously required data elements optional for each mode.

ACE Systems Back Online After Unplanned Extended Down Time
August 3, 2017 |Customs

The ACE system is "stable and processes are operating normally" following some technical issues that left the ACE Portal unavailable for all end-users, CBP said in an Aug. 3 CSMS message. CBP advised that any manifest, entry and summary filings "transmitted between 07:00 ET and 09:00 ET, August 2, 2017, that did not receive a response should be retransmitted." As a result of the issues, CBP will allow for an additional day without penalty for all payment of duties that were due on Aug. 2, it said. CBP allowed for "downtime procedures" during the outage, CBP said in another CSMS message. The agency also discussed the issues with the trade during an Aug. 2 conference call, freight forwarder Geodis said in an email.
