1. First Designated FAST Lane Opened on the Northern Border
According to CBP, the FAST lane will enable CBP to offer expedited clearance to those carriers and importers that have made a commitment to increase the security of their supply chain and who have enrolled in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and utilize FAST approved commercial drivers to import qualifying goods.

2. Miscellaneous CBP Messages on AD and CV Duty Actions
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued messages on a number of antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CV) duty actions, many of which (marked by an * in the action column) were previously published in the Federal Register by the International Trade Administration (ITA) and summarized in International Trade Today.
(The CBP messages marked with an * cover much of the same information as the ITA notices; however, CBPs' messages often list the 10-character case number specific to each listed company(s). ITA notices only list the 7-character master case number. In addition, sometimes the master case number for CBP purposes (in parentheses, below, where applicable) differs from the ITA master case number.)
