Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "surrogate value").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead. (e.g., CIT).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., CBP +ruling).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., ruling -NY).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls") or "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

CBP Issues Guidance on Possible Vessel Diversions Due to Hurricane Florence
September 11, 2018 |Customs

Port directors will make case-by-case determinations on whether to allow carriers to unlade cargo after being diverted from another U.S. port due to Hurricane Florence, CBP said in a CSMS message. There's a hurricane watch in effect for the Carolinas, Virginia and Maryland. For diverted vessels, "the owner or agent of the vessel shall immediately give notice of the diversion to the port that granted the permit or clearance, identifying the new destination of the vessel," CBP said. "In this instance, ports should allow for electronic/telephonic Reports of Diversion by the vessel’s owner/operator or agent. The originating port should log the date/time notifications are received and advise the owner or agent of the vessel to note on the CBP Form 3171, provided to the alternative port, its request for diversion and the specific situation for the diversion."
