Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match together (e.g. "China import").

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons to find either word (e.g. AD/CVD antidumping).

Acronyms: Use all capital letters (e.g., ACE).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., CBP +releases).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: 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 term, include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

FORT LAUDERDALE -- Just weeks after the Agricultural Marketing Service's rules on import filing and certification requirements for organic goods took effect March 19 (see 2402270052), the agency is still facing the problem of "many uncertified importers," but "we're making good progress," said Jennifer Tucker, deputy director of USDA's National Organics Program, on April 16.

CBP Delays ACE Deployment of Change to Type 86 Entry Filing Deadline
April 12, 2024 |Customs

A change in ACE that will restrict the filing of Type 86 entries to upon or prior to arrival of the goods has been “delayed until further notice,” CBP said in a CSMS message. Previously scheduled for April 13, the now-postponed deployment would shorten the time frame for Type 86 entries (see 2401120070), which is currently the same for formal entries at a maximum 15 days after arrival. “Once a new deployment date is determined, a subsequent CSMS will be issued advising of the new deployment date,” CBP said. “As a reminder, this update will prevent Entry Type 86 transactions from being filed after the arrival of a conveyance.”

AD/CVD Integrated Into Entry Summary Data in ACE Reports
April 9, 2024 |Customs

The entry summary data universe has been updated to include all data elements that currently exist in the antidumping and countervailing duties data set in the Automated Commercial Environment Reports, CBP said. Users will no longer have to create reports that use both the entry summary and AD/CVD universes, the agency said in a CSMS message April 9. The AD/CVD universe is scheduled to be retired April 18, so "users should repoint" saved reports that use the AD/CVD universe or a combination of the AD/CVD and entry summary universes to the entry summary universe before that date, CBP said.
