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").

Possibility of Ending Drawback Restrictions in NAFTA, Chile FTA Seen as Rare Opportunity
May 11, 2017 by Tim Warren|Top News

Expected reviews of U.S. free trade agreements may offer a "once in a generation" opportunity to fix some restrictions on drawback, said David Corn, vice president of Comstock and Holt, during a recent interview. While changes to the restrictions in NAFTA are a priority, there's also some hope that similar restrictions in the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement could also be revised, he said. A group calling itself the Duty Drawback Coalition, which Corn is involved in, submitted comments to the Commerce Department noting the problems created by the NAFTA drawback restrictions (see 1704170025).

NCBFAA Says Revised Drawback in ACE Won't Be Ready by February; Regulations Seen Progressing
May 9, 2017 by Tim Warren|Top News

CBP won't be able to accept drawback claims filed in ACE under the revised processes that come from the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act when they take effect on Feb. 24, 2018, the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America said in a May 9 email. The agency lacks the funding to complete the TFTEA-related programming and "CBP believes that it needs a full year to program all agency requirements," according to the NCBFAA. Still, CBP is expected to finish necessary regulatory changes by the statutory deadline, even if ACE isn't ready for the TFTEA changes.
