With increasing frequency, international business travelers are being confronted with the distinct possibility that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“U.S. Customs”) may seize and extensively examine the content of laptop devices routinely carried across international borders. Business travelers, concerned in large measure about the security and protection of proprietary and personal information stored on laptops and other electronic devices are complaining about the justification and intrusiveness of these searches. Not surprisingly, such developments have led to the filing of lawsuits in some jurisdictions as to whether or not U.S. Customs’ actions are constitutional and, if so, within the administrative authority of U.S. Customs.

U.S. Census Bureau to Rule on AES Filings

The U.S. Census Bureau is reportedly close to issuing a Final Rule which shall require the mandatory filing of export information through the Automated Export System (“AES”) for all shipments where a Shipper’s Export Declaration (“SED”) is presently permitted. The Final Rule will entirely phase out the paper version of the SED (Form 7525-V), substantially increase penalties for untimely or inaccurately filed Electronic Export Information (“EEI”), and specify time frames within which EEI must be transmitted to the exporting carrier depending upon the mode of transportation. It will also provide for regulatory enforcement through three agencies including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Final Rule, through the amendment of many exiting regulations, will have broad ramifications for exporters, freight forwarders, and carriers. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the rule and its impact on the international trade community is absolutely essential.

Who knew dental floss was a medical device regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)? What about contact lenses, tongue depressors, or bedpans? How about pacemakers? You guessed it, they all are!

It was great seeing all who attended the receptions, committee meetings, luncheon and executive council meeting in Boca Raton last Thursday and Friday. All events were well attended and the meetings productive. I am excited to see the momentum already there so that we don’t delay in executing our ambitious goals for the upcoming retreat, this year’s international litigation seminar, the expanded Vis Moot Precompetition in Orlando, the second annual international transactions seminar and our sponsored legislation. As a reminder, committee meetings and executive council meetings are open to all members of the international law section. If you are interested in taking part or just sitting in, you are welcome to join.
