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 Remains Committed to ITDS Timeline
August 17, 2015 |Customs

CBP continues to talk with the relevant stakeholders about the timeline for the Automated Commercial Environment, a CBP spokeswoman said in response to a question about possible high-level consideration for revising the mandatory use dates (see 1508140025). "Deputy Secretaries meet periodically to discuss a number of topics that the Department of Homeland Security has purview over, including ACE," she said. "Should the meeting result in any new information regarding ACE, CBP will issue information as soon as we receive it through press releases and a press roundtable." CBP has been working closely with partner government agencies (PGAs), the White House, and industry to meet the major milestones included in the 2014 executive order on the International Trade Data System (see 14021928), said the spokeswoman.

CBP said on July 30 it had not formally recommended a delay to the ACE timelines (see 1507300004).
