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").

December 22, 2014 |Customs

The calendar year 2013 satisfaction rates among Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) users fell to 39 percent, from 56 percent the previous year, said CBP (here). The agency "identified areas of concern and has developed a plan to address these issues." For example, CBP plans to improve ACE reports through the addition of " dashboards, workspace models, new reports, legacy reports redesign, migration to an Enterprise Data Warehouse, a common home page, a resource library, new training products, and an updated data dictionary," it said. CBP said it will also improve its training offerings and ease of use, it said. As part of the improvement efforts, the agency will consider adding the ability for single entry of broker information and antidumping and countervailing duty enhancements, it said.
