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").

NOAA Releases List of Mexican Officials Allowed to Verify Seafood Shipment
June 13, 2019 |Customs

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration posted a list of 33 Mexican government officials that can verify that seafood from Mexico was not caught illegally using gillnets, CBP said in a CSMS message. Last summer, the Court of International Trade granted a preliminary injunction prohibiting imports of Mexican fish that might threaten the endangered vaquita porpoise (see 1807260039). The National Marine Fisheries Service requires that all Mexican-origin shrimp, fish and fish products include a “Certification of Admissibility” that contains the signature of one of the listed officials. "If a 'Certification of Admissibility' is validated by an official who is not on the May 31, 2019 Designated Officials List, the shipment will be refused entry," CBP said. "The submission of the 'Certification of Admissibility' may be done through electronic transfer into ACE DIS using DIS Code 'NM23', email, fax, or in paper to the CBP port of entry."
