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").

CBP Watching for Misclassification, Valuation Issues for Section 232 Tariffs; Base Metals CEE 'Actively Involved'
April 12, 2018 by Tim Warren|Top News

Misclassification and valuation are among areas of enforcement focus for CBP's administration of the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, CBP officials said during an April 10 interview. "Classification is a way to play with it, valuation as well, but these are things we will have to look at," said John Leonard, executive director of trade policy and programs at CBP. There are some different considerations involved for looking at possible transshipments because most antidumping or countervailing duty evasions involve countries around China, such as Malaysia or Thailand, but those countries are affected by the 232 tariffs too, he said. "It's hard to put it in that same context," he said.

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.
