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 is again delaying deployment of its ocean house bill of lading release capability in ACE, this time indefinitely, the agency said in a CSMS message May 12. “CBP continues to work closely with the Trade Support Network” ocean house bill of lading working group, “and a new date will be determined following further evaluation,” CBP said. The agency had been set to deploy the capability in early June after an initial delay from a March deployment date (see 2302140040). CBP also is delaying an associated container freight station user interface for ocean house bill release.

May 9, 2023 |Customs

CBP is delaying its planned automation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act detention process, according to the agency’s most recent ACE development and deployment schedule, released May 9. An entry in the schedule for “Automation of CBP Form 6051D for Detentions of Cargo Filed in ACE,” including UFLPA detentions, is now listed as having a deployment date of "TBD," after having been projected for deployment in May in CBP's prior ACE schedules. CBP has said the capability, which would “create an automated process for Admissibility Reviews and Exception Requests,” would be deployed May 20 (see 2304210072). CBP did not immediately comment.
