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. "universal service fund").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.(e.g. NTIA).

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

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

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "satellite" instead of "satellites" or "impose" instead of "imposed").

FWS Message Set Implementation Pushed to June
February 4, 2021 |Customs

The Fish and Wildlife Service again delayed implementation of its partner government agency (PGA) message set in ACE, CBP said in a CSMS message. “FWS is still in the process of formulating regulations requiring the utilization of ACE to submit import data for FWS regulated commodities, and currently expects enforcement of mandatory submission in ACE to take effect in June 2021,” it said. FWS previously said it hoped to complete a rulemaking to allow for the implementation by the end of 2020 (see 2006230058).

CBP Gives Importers 60 Days to File PSCs Following AD/CV Glitch in ACE
February 3, 2021 by Tim Warren|Top News

Importers will need to review entries made between Oct. 5, 2019, and Oct. 28, 2020, that were supposed to include third-country antidumping and countervailing duty case numbers that couldn't be added due to a problem in ACE, CBP said in a Feb. 2 CSMS message. The ACE glitch left filers unable to include any of 19 third-country case numbers with the entries, CBP said. The importers will have 60 days to rectify the issue for any affected entries, and failure to “take action within the sixty-day period may result in further actions by CBP,” it said.
