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").

Hard Switchover for TSCA Labeling on Composite Wood Products in December 2017, EPA Official Says
February 24, 2017 by Brian Feito|Top News

The Environmental Protection Agency will enforce a hard deadline for upcoming Toxic Substances Control Act labeling requirements for formaldehyde emissions in composite wood products, the EPA’s Todd Coleman said during a Feb. 23 webinar. Beginning Dec. 12, 2017, imported composite wood products covered by a recent EPA final rule will have to be labeled as compliant with new formaldehyde emissions requirements (see 1612120022). Prior to that date, EPA will not allow imports of products bearing such labels, though the agency will allow early labeling of composite wood products distributed abroad as long as it is not distributed on U.S. soil, Coleman said.

February 16, 2017 |Top News

CBP provided some "interim" instructions for Temporary Importation Bond (Type 23) entries while awaiting deployment of related functions in ACE in a Feb. 16 notice from CBP Port Director Jorge Roig for Port Everglades. "With the implementation of [ACE] Cargo Release functionality for all entry types and the subsequent policy decision to no longer require paper CBP Forms 3461 or 7501 at the time of entry, a paperless process is needed for Temporary Importation Bond (TIB) entries to replace the export examination decision and stamp required by CBP regulations," it said. "While a fully electronic transaction is being planned for this functionality, there is no known date of deployment or development. In the interim, the following steps should be taken by CBP and the trade for all Type 23, TIB entries present."
