21st Century Customs Framework
The 21st Century Customs Framework is a CBP initiative that seeks to modernize the flow of goods into the United States. The goals of the initiative are to enhance facilitation and security, ensure seamless data sharing, increase visibility into modern supply chains, provide enforcement flexibility and streamline processes to deter bad actors and protect U.S. consumers and businesses from unfair competition. CBP created a task force representing U.S. businesses which, after discussions among trade and CBP representatives of the Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee, recommended a series of legislative proposals currently being considered by Congress.
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").
