1. State Department Seeks Comments on Form DS-7787, Disclosure of Violations of the Arms Export Control Act
(Source: 91 FR 40085, 1 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
ACTION: Notice of request for public comment and submission to OMB of proposed collection of information.
SUMMARY: DDTC encourages voluntary disclosures of violations of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.), its implementing regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR 120-130), and any regulation, order, license, or other authorization issued thereunder. The information disclosed is analyzed by DDTC to ultimately determine whether to take administrative action concerning any violation that may have occurred. Voluntary disclosures may be considered a mitigating factor in determining the administrative penalties, if any, that may be imposed. ITAR §127.12 describes the information which should accompany a voluntary disclosure. As part of an IT modernization project designed to streamline the collection and use of information by DDTC, a discrete form has been developed for the submission of voluntary disclosures. This will allow both DDTC and respondents submitting a disclosure to more easily track submissions.
DATES: Submit comments by July 31, 2026.
2. CBP Seeks Comments on Import Cargo Vessel Manifest: CBP Form 1302, Inward Cargo Declaration
(Source: 91 FR 40017, 1 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Department of Homeland Security. ACTION: 60-day notice and request for comments.
SUMMARY: The master or commander of a vessel arriving in the United States from abroad with cargo on board must file CBP Form 1302, Inward Cargo Declaration, or submit the information on this form using a CBP-approved electronic equivalent. CBP Form 1302 is part of the manifest requirements for vessels entering the United States and was agreed upon by treaty at the United Nations Inter-government Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO). Although the form has been mostly automated through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), there are still circumstances where a paper CBP Form 1302 is required. CBP is working to automate the remaining use cases through the Vessel Entrance and Clearance System (VECS).
DATES: Comment by Aug. 31, 2026.
3. CBP Seeks Comments on Revision of CBP Form 7501, Entry Summary
(Source: 91 FR 40016, 1 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Department of Homeland Security. ACTION: 60-Day Notice and request for comments.
SUMMARY: CBP Form 7501, Entry Summary, is used to identify merchandise entering the commerce of the United States, and to document the amount of duty and/or tax paid. The data on this form is used by CBP as a record of the import transaction; to collect the proper duty, taxes, certifications, and enforcement information; and to provide data to the U.S. Census Bureau for statistical purposes. CBP Form 7501 must be filed within 10 working days from the time of entry of merchandise into the United States. Collection of the data on this form is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1484 and provided for by 19 CFR 141.61 and 19 CFR 142.11. CBP Form 7501 and accompanying instructions are HERE. Proposed Change: CBP is announcing a voluntary test for a new electronic informal entry process for mail in ACE through the development of new informal entry type 13 — Informal Mail Entry. The new informal entry type 13 is applicable for shipments valued at $2,500 or less sent to the United States via mail. The Entry Type 13 Test provides an alternative to the new interim process for informal mail entries, as set forth in 19 CFR 145.12(b), allowing filers to transmit informal entry for qualified mail shipments electronically. This test also creates an informal entry pathway for low-value mail shipments subject to Partner Government Agency (PGA) data requirements or duties other than those set forth in Chapters 1-97 of the HTSUS, which are ineligible for the interim process for informal mail entries, as set forth in 19 CFR part 145.
DATE: Comment by August 31, 2026.
4. CBP Seeks Comments About Form 3461 + 3461 ALT, Entry/Immediate Delivery Application and ACE Cargo Release
(Source: 91 FR 40021, 1 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Department of Homeland Security. ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for comments.
SUMMARY: All items imported into the United States are subject to examination before entering the commerce of the United States. There are two procedures available to affect the release of imported merchandise, including “entry” pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1484, and “immediate delivery” pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1448(b). Under both procedures, CBP Forms 3461, Entry/Immediate Delivery, and 3461 ALT are the source documents. CBP Forms 3461 and 3461 ALT are provided for by 19 CFR 142.3, 142.16, 141.22, and 141.24. The forms and instructions for Form 3461 are accessible HERE.
DATES: Comment by August 31, 2026.

9. DoD/DCSA: “Role-Based Certification Pilot Evolves Security Workforce”
The Center for Security Excellence (CDSE) launched the Role-Based Certifications (RBC) program, evolving the Security Professional Education Development (SPēD) initiative. The new Department of War (DoW) training sets a benchmark for the security workforce to strengthen national defense.
The RBC framework shifts security certification from an agnostic knowledge test to structured learning progression, which leads to an RBC to validate on-the-job competency. Open to all security DoW civilians, military personnel, and contractors in direct support of DoW, the program expands skill sets, standardizes training, and defines professional excellence across the Defense Security Enterprise (DSE).
The framework will roll out in phases, prioritizing critical security disciplines. Five certifications will be launched by March 2027. The program begins with the Information Security RBC pilot, focusing on the Information Security (InfoSec) role, from July 26 to Aug. 23. This phase sharpens core competencies in risk mitigation, classification management, and incident response. . . . [More]

13. Expeditors News: “CBP Published Guidance for Automobile and MHDV Duty Offsets”
(Source: Expeditors News, 30 Jun 2026) [Excerpts]
In a Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) bulletin published on June 29, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provided guidance on how importers who have been granted Commerce Department (DOC) import adjustment offset for Section 232 duties on automobile and medium and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) parts may claim those offsets.
These import adjustment offsets were established by Presidential Proclamation 10925 and 10984 and can only be issued by the DOC. Import adjustment offsets that are granted will include a limit on the amount granted and usage will need to be tracked by the importer to ensure that they do not exceed the limit they are assigned. Only the duty assessed under Section 232 can be offset.
The CSMS bulletin provides guidance on the classifications that need to be used to properly claim the offset. The DOC offset license number will need to be provided to CBP on the entry summary line. Importers can claim an offset license on Post Summary Corrections (PSCs) to past entries where Section 232 duties were paid. CSMS #69087399 and links to relevant Federal Register Notices are there.

(Source: Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report, 1 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]. Contact: [email protected], 1-305-894-1035
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has updated its list of the quarterly Internal Revenue Service interest rates used to calculate interest on overdue accounts (underpayments) and refunds (overpayments) of customs duties.
For the quarter July 1 through Sept. 30, the interest rates for overpayments will be six percent for corporations and seven percent for non-corporations, and the interest rate for underpayments will be seven percent for both corporations and non-corporations. Both these rates have been increased by one percentage point each from the previous quarter.
OPINION
15. Export Practitioner: “Senate Bill to Raise Export-Control Penalties”
(Source: The Export Practitioner, 30 Jun 2026) [Excerpts of paywall publication.]
A bipartisan Senate bill would sharply raise the cost of export-control violations, reflecting growing congressional concern that existing penalties are too low to deter unlawful transfers of sensitive U.S. technology.
The ECRA Penalty Increase Act, introduced by Sens. John Kennedy, R-La., and Andy Kim, D-N.J., would quadruple the maximum civil penalty under the Export Control Reform Act to $1.2 million per violation and double the transaction-based cap to four times the value of the unlawful transaction.
The bill would apply to violations committed on or after enactment and is aimed at strengthening deterrence for illegal exports, reexports or transfers of sensitive U.S. technology to foreign adversaries and other restricted actors. Current ECRA civil penalties allow Commerce to impose the greater of $300,000 or twice the transaction value, along with license revocation or denial of export privileges; BIS lists the inflation-adjusted administrative maximum at $374,474 per violation as of Jan. 15, 2025. Full text of the ECRA Penalty Increase Act is available HERE.
16. FoleyHoag: “Bosch and the Foreign Direct Product Rule: Lessons for Companies Manufacturing Using U.S. Technology from Bosch’s BIS Settlement and DOJ Declination”
(Source: Foley Insights, 30 Jun 2026) [Excerpts]
Principal Author: Anthony D. Mirenda, Foley Hoag LLP
Robert Bosch GmbH (“Bosch”) subsidiaries in the E.U. exported approximately $72 million worth of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (“MEMS”) sensor products and automotive software to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Huawei”), and its affiliates on the Entity List without an export license from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) in violation of the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”).
The MEMS sensors at issue have a broad range of consumer applications — they are used in smartphones, wearable technology, and automobiles. Although the items were subject to the EAR pursuant to the Foreign Direct Product Rule (“FDP Rule”) and consequently required a BIS license because they were going to Huawei, Bosch failed to obtain the required license, leading to the violations. Bosch, a German multinational headquartered in Stuttgart, ultimately recognized that it had a U.S. export controls compliance issue.
By making a voluntary disclosure, cooperating, remediating, and agreeing to pay a $36 million civil penalty and disgorge its profit from these transactions, Bosch was able to reach a settlement with BIS and receive a criminal prosecution declination from DOJ. . . . [More]
17. Miller & Chevalier: “DOJ’s National Security Division Issues First-Ever Corporate Declination Under New Department-Wide Enforcement Policy”
(Source: International and Litigation Alert, 1 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
Principal Author: Timothy P. O’Toole, Miller & Chevalier LLP
On June 17, 2026, the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) National Security Division (NSD) announced the first-ever declination pursuant to DOJ’s newly issued Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy (CEP).
NSD’s declination resolved the DOJ’s criminal investigation into allegations that Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), a German-headquartered engineering and technology company, violated the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA), and the Export Administration Regulations’ (EAR) Foreign Direct Product Rule (FDPR).
This occurred when two of its non-U.S. subsidiaries exported products and software manufactured with equipment that was the direct product of U.S. software or technology to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., and its affiliates on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Entity List. NSD’s declination makes clear that the CEP is operational and that there are meaningful benefits for companies who proactively meet the CEP’s conditions.
On March 10, 2026, the DOJ announced the first-ever department-wide CEP. Prior to the CEP, DOJ components maintained a patchwork of corporate enforcement policies, including one that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) had only recently announced DOJ’s new CEP applies uniformly across all criminal matters handled by departments within the DOJ and U.S. Attorney’s Offices nationwide.
Under Part I of the CEP, the DOJ will provide a declination when a company meets the following four criteria: . . . [More]
18. Pillsbury: “UK Expands General Licensing for Dual-Use Exports”
(Source: Global Trade Blog, 1 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
Principal Author: Steven Farmer, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP
On June 25, 2026, the UK published a new Open General Export Licence (the “New OGEL”), permitting the export of a wide range of dual-use items to various low-risk destinations. The New OGEL consolidates existing open licensing routes for certain dual-use exports and adds coverage for several new destinations, reducing the need for individual license applications for eligible exports.
The New OGEL is particularly relevant for UK exporters of dual-use goods, software and technology that currently rely on the OGEL for dual-use exports to EU Member States (the “EU Dual-Use OGEL”), General Export Authorization (GEA) 001 or individual licenses for exports to lower-risk destinations.
Key Takeaways:
The New OGEL permits exports of certain dual-use items to a broad list of destinations already covered by the EU Dual-Use OGEL or GEA 001.
The EU Dual-Use OGEL and GEA 001 remain available for now, but guidance notes that exporters relying on these authorizations should register for the New OGEL going forward.
The New OGEL also adds coverage for Chile, South Korea, Singapore, Uruguay and certain British Overseas Territories.
Not all dual-use items are covered, as detailed below, and some are only out of scope for certain destinations.
To rely on the New OGEL, exporters must confirm that the proposed exports comply with the license conditions and restrictions, register on SPIRE before exporting, and comply with applicable documentation, notification, record keeping and audit requirements.

19. ST&R Trade Report: “CBP to Deactivate Dormant Importer of Record Numbers”
(Source: Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report, 1 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]. Contact: [email protected], 1-305-894-1035
In response to President Trump’s executive order directing a broad tightening of customs enforcement measures, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced that it will deactivate importer of record numbers in the Automated Commercial Environment that have not been used to file entry in at least a year and have no outstanding post-entry transactions.
However, CBP has also pointed out that there is a process to reactivate IOR numbers that have been deactivated. As a first step, importers should query and verify the current status of the IOR number in their ACE portal account.
CBP states that importers seeking to reactivate their IOR numbers should do so in coordination with their customs broker to avoid potential delays in processing. An Automated Broker Interface broker should submit a transaction processing message with action code A to change the status from “20-Inactive” to “10-Active.” All required CBP form 5106 data elements must be submitted with the TP message.
Importers unable to reactivate their IOR numbers via ABI may submit a revised CBP form 5106, with all the mandatory data elements filled out, to a center entry specialist team for manual reactivation. The email to which this form is attached must include “IOR reactivation request” in the subject line and explain in the body that the form is being submitted to reactivate an IOR that already exists but is currently in “20-Inactive” status. . . .

EDITOR'S NOTES
23. Bartlett’s Unfamiliar Quotations
(Source: Brainy Quotes)
George Sand (Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin; 1 Jul 1804 – 8 Jun 1876; best known by her pen name George Sand, was a French novelist, memoirist, and Socialist. One of the most popular writers in Europe in her lifetime, being more renowned than both Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac in England in the 1830s and 1840s, Sand is recognized as one of the most notable writers of the European Romantic era.)
“Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.”
“One is happy as a result of one’s own efforts once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness: simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self-denial to a point, love of work, and above all, a clear conscience.”
William Strunk, Jr. (1 Jul 1869 – 26 Sep 1946; was an American professor of English at Cornell University and author of The Elements of Style (1918). After revision and enlargement by his former student E. B. White, it became a highly influential guide to English usage during the late 20th century, commonly called “Strunk & White”.)
“Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.”
“It is worse to be irresolute than to be wrong. If you don’t know how to pronounce a word, say it loud!”
Estée Lauder (born Josephine Esther Mentzer; 1 Jul 1906 – 24 Apr 2004; was an American businesswoman. She co-founded her eponymous cosmetics company with her husband, Joseph Lauter (later Lauder). Lauder was the only woman on Time magazine’s 1998 list of the 20 most influential business geniuses of the 20th century.)
“If you don’t sell, it’s not the product that’s wrong, it’s you.”
24. Today in History
(Source: History Channel)
1867: Canada Day marks July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act (now called the Constitution Act of 1867) came into effect. This law united three British colonies into a single country within the British Empire: Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. This event is known as Confederation, and it created the Dominion of Canada. It reflected Canada’s status as a self-governing dominion within the British Empire rather than a fully independent nation.
1963: U.S. Post Office introduces ZIP codes. On July 1, 1963, the United States Postal Service (USPS) introduces the Zone Improvement Plan as part of a plan to improve the speed of mail delivery, inaugurating the use of machine-readable ZIP codes to facilitate the efficient sorting of mail at a national level.
