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").

Money for ACE Development Likely to Come From Alternative Funding Streams
March 8, 2017 by Brian Bradley|Top News

Congress seems unlikely to provide dedicated funding for new ACE development in upcoming appropriations legislation, according to industry officials. Still, CBP may be able to funnel operations and maintenance resources to ACE development, said one industry observer. While the end to funding for new programming isn't unexpected (see 1609140034), the shift is closer to becoming a reality as the Senate and House aim to pass final Department of Homeland Security appropriations legislation by late April, industry and congressional officials said recently.

CBP to Turn Off ACS for Stand-Alone Prior Notice by March 9, Require FSVP Filing May 30
March 1, 2017 |FDA

CBP intends "to shut off [Automated Commercial System] Prior Notice Stand-alone transactions by March 9," the Food and Drug Administration said in a presentation at the March 1 Port of Newark quarterly brokers meeting. Also, the FDA noted that Foreign Supplier Verification Program information must be submitted through ACE starting May 30 for certain food products. A new application program interface for software vendors to incorporate a product code builder into software packages is also in the works, the FDA said. The interface is the result of requests for a product code query meant to help prevent rejections due to invalid codes, it said.

FWS Data Filers Will Be Able to Use ACE in 'Next Month or Two'
March 1, 2017 |Customs

Filers of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service data will soon have the option to file it through ACE, in addition to FWS's electronic declarations (eDecs) system or in papers, said Timothy Skud, deputy assistant treasury secretary for tax, trade and tariff policy, at the March 1 Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee (COAC) meeting. That new option, which is "an interim step," should begin in the "next month or two," he said. Beyond that, the FWS and a COAC working group will look to expand the FWS data collection to allow the agency to better police imports and clear goods more quickly, Skud said. FWS and CBP have also resolved issues of Designated Port Exception Permit (DPEP) processing within ACE (see 1612140064), FWS Senior Wildlife Inspector Sheila Einsweiller said. As of the next implementation guide, "we will have the programming in place to be able to accommodate" the DPEP process, she said. The agency is also getting ready to put in place a new system for "disseminating our public bulletins," Einsweiller said.
