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").

As ITDS Makes Progress, Interagency Challenges Remain
December 1, 2014 by Tim Warren|Top News

While there has been some progress toward an International Trade Data System, the complexity of bringing together a disparate group of governmental bodies with differing statutory requirements continues to present some roadblocks, say government and industry officials. Still, there continues to be significant momentum from President Barack Obama's executive order in February that created a 2016 deadline for finishing ITDS (see 14021928), they said. For instance, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), an agency that is involved in regulating some imports but is far less involved at the border as other agencies, reported some movement on its work with CBP, though its clear there's still much to be done.

CBP to Begin eBond Test in Early 2015
November 26, 2014 |Customs

CBP will begin to test a centralized electronic bond program, known as eBond, the agency said in a notice (here). The test, scheduled to begin Jan. 3, will involve the use of eBonds between principals and sureties in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), with CBP as a third-party beneficiary, the agency said. All eBonds in the test must be transmitted by a surety or surety agent electronically, either through the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or emailed to CBP for manual input into ACE, said CBP.

CPSC to Run Pilot on Electronic Filing of Certificates of Compliance in ACE
November 12, 2014 by Brian Feito|Top News

The Consumer Product Safety Commission will run a pilot to test electronic filing of certificates of compliance at entry before finalizing changes to its Part 1110 regulations, CPSC Commissioner Ann Marie Buerkle said. The agency is currently working with CBP to find volunteers to participate in the pilot, as well as to develop related software, according to a memo from her office. CPSC wants to have the pilot up and running by July 2015, but the timeline is dependent on CBP’s ability to accommodate the pilot, according to the memo.
