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 Asks Importers, Brokers to Wait to Make Software Updates After Dec. 19
November 10, 2022 |Customs

As the agency prepares to roll out its National Broker Permit on Dec. 19, CBP has asked importers, brokers and software developers not to initiate updates to their systems until after the rollout date. During a biweekly ACE call on Nov. 10, Steve Zaccaro of the Trade Transformation Office's Services Division told listeners that even though the initiative is "thoroughly tested" and ready to go, CBP would be grateful if participants did not make any changes to their own systems leading up to the opening of the new program. That way, Zaccaro said, any technical issues that arise will be known to be on CBP's end and that should significantly speed the fixing of inevitable technical issues. Anyone using the system would be wise to run as many "unique scenarios" through their own systems before Dec. 19 to iron out as much as possible, Zaccaro said.

CBP Eliminates MPF, Dairy Fee for Duty-Free Infant Formula, Offers Refunds
November 2, 2022 |Customs

CBP is no longer requiring payment of the dairy fee or merchandise processing fee (MPF) on entries of infant formula subject to duty-free treatment under the Formula Act (see 2207250027), it said in a CSMS message. The agency deployed a change in ACE on Oct. 27 to no longer require the fees through the end of this year, as provided for under the law, which was enacted in July (see 2207220069). Importers and brokers who have submitted entries eligible for the Formula Act may request a refund, by way of a post-summary correction for refunds of MPF and by a letter to USDA for refunds of the dairy fee, CBP said.
