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").

FDA Makes Minor Changes to Prior Notice Regulations
March 29, 2017 |FDA

The Food and Drug Administration is making "technical amendments" to its regulations on prior notice for imported food, it said (here). Changes include replacing references to the legacy Automated Commercial System with references to ACE, correcting inaccurate number designations of headings in the regulations, and changing an office’s name. The final rule also removes an outdated provision that prior notices for certain refused imports be submitted via FDA’s system rather than ACE. The final rule takes effect March 30.

CBP Eyeing National Monthly Statements, Line-Level Liquidation Within Simplified Processes Effort
March 27, 2017 |Top News

CBP sees additions of national monthly statements and line-level liquidations among the top recommendations within the agency's simplified processes initiative, said Randy Mitchell, director of the Commercial Operations and Entry Division, during a March 24 webinar sponsored by the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America. National monthly statements, which would consolidate port-specific entry statements into a single statement, would likely be phased in, he said. Line-level liquidation would be a "longer-term" goal due to some "legal and regulatory factors" involved, Mitchell said. Other "top recommendations" include monthly entry summaries and the elimination of the separate 09 entry type for reconciliation by allowing for Post-Summary Corrections instead, he said.

CBP CF 28s and 29s Increasingly Going to Importers of Record, Not Brokers
March 23, 2017 |Customs

CBP forms 28 (Request for Information) and 29 (Notice of Action) are increasingly going straight to importers of record and no copy going to customs brokers, customs brokerage CPH Group said in an email (here). "With the CEEs coming into full force it has become more common that Customs Form (CF) 28 and CF 29 go directly to the importer of record, without the broker receiving a courtesy copy," it said. "If you receive either a CF 28 Customs Request for Information and/or CF 29 Notice of Action, it is vital to keep your customs broker in the loop! It's also important to note that the ACE Secure Data Portal allows authorized users to receive and respond to both of these notices." CBP didn't comment.
