CBP is now in the process of adding hundreds of antidumping and countervailing duty messages from the Commerce Department to its ADD CVD Search database. The page had not been updated since Sept. 23 due to issues with recent ACE deployments. The database is still as of press time missing many messages dating back at least to 2014. International Trade Today will resume with its daily list of AD and CV duty messages once CBP resumes regular updates.
CBP added on Nov. 7 the ability in ACE for importers to file entries with recently excluded goods in the third tranche of Section 301 tariffs, it said in a CSMS message. Filers of imported products that were granted an exclusion (see 1910240004) should report the regular Chapters 29, 32, 37, 39, 40, 48, 51, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 68, 70, 73, 74, 75, 76, 82, 83, 84, 85, 87, 90 and 94 Harmonized Tariff Schedule number, as well as subheading 9903.88.33, CBP said in the message. “Importers shall not submit the corresponding Chapter 99 HTS number for the Section 301 duties when" subheading 9903.88.33 is submitted, CBP said.

The U.S. will soon start discussions with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations about a possible connection between ASEAN's customs filing platform with the U.S. platform, the State Department said in a Nov. 3 fact sheet about "Expanding the Enduring Partnership" with ASEAN. "The United States and the ASEAN Secretariat announced the opening of negotiations to link the ASEAN 'Single Window' with the U.S. Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) System, which governs all trade in goods entering the United States," State said. "Making this link will further facilitate $272 billion in two-way trade in goods between the United States and ASEAN."
LATHRUP VILLAGE, Mich. -- CBP is still wrapping its head around how it would enforce labor wage content requirements for automobiles under the renegotiated NAFTA, said Brenda Smith, executive assistant commissioner of CBP’s Office of Trade, at the Automotive Industry Action Group Customs Town Hall on Nov. 7.
A proposed rule that would allow importation of drugs intended for foreign markets is now under review by the Office of Management and Budget, according to the OMB website. Though OMB doesn’t say what exactly the rule would do, the Food and Drug Administration has said it would soon publish a proposal to allow pilot (or demonstration) projects developed by states, wholesalers or pharmacists to import certain drugs from Canada that are versions of FDA-approved drugs that are manufactured consistent with the FDA approval (see 1907310018).

CBP will start the first phase of three phases aimed at an "enhanced Truck functionality" in ACE in December, the agency said in a recently released document. "The first phase of this project will include a modernized trade-facing Truck manifest portal in ACE," CBP said. "At the completion of all 3 phases, CBP will retire the legacy Truck Manifest." The first phase will start testing in December, with production scheduled in January. New phase one features will include the ability to "save down information for commodities, manifests, or bills," different bill of lading types, and indicators of whether an entry is on file for each bill of lading, CBP said. Also to be added is a "Type-Ahead Search Field" that "enables quick access to account information, eliminating the need for multiple screen clicks reducing manifest and bill creation time." CBP expects the second phase to begin in the winter of 2020, it said. Timing for the third phase is still being decided, the agency said.
