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 14, 2022 |Customs

CBP will during the week of Dec. 12 “activate all pending national permits in ACE” created for brokers with only a district permit as it works to transition all those brokers over as part of its customs broker modernization regulatory changes that take effect Dec. 19 (see 2210170071), it said in a CSMS message. “This activity will not have any effect on brokers already holding an active national permit,” CBP said.

Denials on 'Case-by-Case' Basis for Long Protest Document Upload Outage, CBP Officials Say
December 8, 2022 |Customs

CBP will take into account a long ACE outage that affected the uploading of documents in support of protests, and will consider whether protests should be denied for a lack of documents on a “case-by-case” basis, CBP officials said on the agency’s bi-weekly ACE call Dec. 8. CBP’s Office of Field Operations has sent out an internal message directing the Centers of Excellence and Expertise not to deny protests due to a lack of documents from Sept. 16, when the problem began, to Dec. 1, when the problem was fixed (see 2212020067) the official said. However, protests must be looked at individually because the agency can’t assume that “everybody’s denial” is based on the uploading issue, she said. CBP will not be sending out individual messages reminding protest filers to upload documents, another official said, and filers should get their documents uploaded now that the issue is resolved.
