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").

North American Single Window Has Support, but Not Seen as a Priority, Say Mexican Officials

Mexican, U.S. and Canadian trade officials are fully committed to developing and implementing a unified North American single window portal for the import and export of goods, but the broader trade agenda continues to take precedent over the initiative, said Mexican trade officials at a Peterson Institute of International Economics event on July 15. The U.S. is aiming to implement its single window, the Automated Commercial Environment and International Trade Data System, by 2016 and then will turn its attention to the unified portal, said CBP deputy commissioner Kevin McAleenan in June (see 14061803).

CBP Gives Update on Coming ACE Deployment
July 7, 2014 by Tim Warren|Customs

CBP will add a number of new features to the Automated Commercial Environment in a July 12 update, the agency said in a information notice. The deployment will add unified filing of cargo release and importer security filing data, it said. Six shipment types will be allowed within ACE Cargo Release: Standard or regular filings, To Order Shipments, Military and Government, U.S. Goods Returned, International Mail Shipments, and Outer Continental Shelf Shipments. All others will need to be filed as stand-alone ISF transactions, it said. The update will also add system validations for entry summaries, it said. Users will see new system error messages for informal entry restrictions, charges restrictions, taxes and other fees, it said.
