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").

Exemptions Could End in May, Quotas Possible, White House Says as CBP Begins Collecting New Tariffs on Steel, Aluminum
March 23, 2018 by Tim Warren|Top News

The countrywide exemptions to new tariffs on steel and aluminum may expire May 1, "pending discussions of satisfactory long-term alternative means to address the threatened impairment to U.S. national security," the White House said in a March 22 statement. A notice from CBP detailing the implementation of the tariffs also said the tariffs would apply to all countries of origin as of May 1. By that date "the President will decide whether to continue to exempt these countries from the tariffs, based on the status of the discussions," the White House said.

CBP will be "closely monitoring importers’ compliance with the Section 232 measures," which take effect on March 23, a CBP spokesman said. "CBP will enforce the remedies imposed by the President under Section 232 on imports of steel and aluminum from covered countries into the United States," he said. "Companies will be responsible for paying the tariff while their exclusion is under consideration. Imports subject to these measures will be processed through CBP’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) entry processing system, which CBP uses to determine admissibility and duty requirements for imported goods."
