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").

CBP Says eBond Switch May Delay Continuous Bond Processing
December 11, 2014 |Customs

The coming addition of the Automated Commercial Environment eBond system may delay the processing of some continuous bond requests, said CBP in a CSMS message. New continuous bond requests after Dec. 29 may not be processed until Jan. 5, it said. Due to the system changeover to eBond, CBP will be unable to process any new continuous bonds on Jan. 2, it said. "The Bond Team will attempt to process all continuous bonds submitted prior" to Jan. 2, but if it can't, they will be input on Jan. 5 or later, the agency said. The eBond system will go in place on Jan. 3 (see 1411260026).
