9. Expeditors News: "Canada Introduces Conditional Aluminum Reporting Requirements"
(Source: Expeditors News, 7 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
In a Customs Notice 26-15, published on June 23, 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC) announced proposed changes to aluminum import reporting under General Import Permit (GIP) 83.
The country of largest smelt, country of second-largest smelt, and country of most recent cast are initially optional data elements. However, once the regulatory changes enter into force on October 1, 2026, these data elements will become conditional reporting requirements for GIP 83.
New component codes will be added to Integrated Import Declaration reporting to support the change. Customs Self-Assessment (CSA) importers remain exempt where applicable. Further guidance is expected ahead of implementation from CBSA.
Customs Notice 26-15 can be found HERE.
10. Diaz: "Mandatory CPSC eFiling is Here"
(Source: Customs & International Trade Law Blog, 8 Jul 2026) [Excerpts] * Author: Jennifer Diaz, Esq., Diaz Trade Law LLP
Key Takeaways:
Starting July 8, 2026, importers of most regulated consumer products must electronically file (eFile) Certificate of Compliance data into CBP's ACE system at the time of entry, no longer on request.
At launch, CPSC does not intend to have ACE reject entries or deny admission solely for failure to eFile, only warning messages. But CPSC will still enforce certificate requirements, seek seizure of non-compliant goods, and adjust your risk score.
A testing exemption or determination does not eliminate the certificate. You must still issue a certificate citing the rule and naming the exemption. This is a trap that catches importers who assume "exempt" means "nothing to file."
Products entering a Foreign Trade Zone and later withdrawn for consumption or warehousing get a later effective date: January 8, 2027.
The eFiling rule changes how certificate data is filed, not which products need a certificate. Certification has been required since 2008.

Below are the pending U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulatory actions affecting international trade set forth in the most recent semiannual regulatory agendas for the departments of Homeland Security and the Treasury.
Short-term actions: The following rules have recently been issued or are expected to be issued within the next year (timeframes are indicated in parentheses).
a proposed rule to eliminate the paper-based bond application and approval processes and require most bonds to be filed using an electronic data interchange or email (published February 2026; final rule date to be determined)
a proposed rule to implement the indefinite suspension of the de minimis exception for low-value goods, modify electronic filing requirements for informal entries of goods valued at $2,500 or less, and establish a new electronic informal entry type for international mail entries (published June 2026)
a final rule to require the advance submission of export manifest data through ACE for cargo transported by rail (July 2026; proposed rule published in January 2025)
a proposed rule to require an electronic transmission of certain vessel entry and clearance data to CBP, to allow for the electronic transmission of certain vessel arrival data and requests to CBP, and to streamline the vessel manifest, entry, coastwise procedures, and clearance regulations to reflect current vessel processes (September 2026; first time published)
Long-term actions: The following are listed as long-term actions, meaning they are still under development and not expected to see regulatory action within the next 12 months.
a final rule requiring customs brokers to verify the identity of importers and non-resident importers (proposed rule issued in 2019)
further action to require the transmission of additional data elements for the Air Cargo Advance Screening program (interim final rule issued in November 2025; next action TBD)
a final rule creating a procedure for the disclosure of information otherwise protected by the Trade Secrets Act to a trademark owner when goods bearing suspected counterfeit trademarks have been voluntarily abandoned (proposed rule issued in August 2019)
further action to require CBP to issue all refunds electronically (interim final rule published in January 2026; next action TBD)
No longer listed: The following rules appeared in previous semiannual regulatory agendas but do not appear in the current agenda.
a final rule to make goods subject to certain trade or national security actions ineligible for the de minimis exemption
further action to set forth due process procedures for CBP to follow before suspending or revoking assigned entry filer codes, immediate delivery privileges, or remote location fling privileges
further action on regulatory amendments designed to encourage participation in the prior disclosure program and to enhance the effectiveness of the duty/revenue demand process
an interim final rule extending duty-free treatment to products exported and returned to the U.S. within three years after having been exported
a proposed rule to update, modernize, and streamline the process for enforcing the prohibition against the importation of goods mined, produced, or manufactured in any foreign country by convict or forced labor or indentured labor under penal sanctions
a final rule to implement the U.S.-Mexico Canada Agreement with respect to non-preferential origin determinations for goods imported from Canada or Mexico
a proposed rule to exempt portions of the cargo inspection, exam, and security system of records from Privacy Act provisions because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements
a proposed rule seeking to promote the speed, accuracy, and transparency of administrative rulings concerning the importation of articles that may be subject to Section 337 exclusion orders issued by the International Trade Commission
12. ST&R Trade Report: "CBP Revises Test of Post-Summary Corrections"
(Source: Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report, 8 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]. Contact: [email protected], 1-305-894-1035
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued a notice announcing the following modifications and clarification to its long-running test pertaining to the processing of post-summary corrections and the payment of increases in estimated duties, taxes, and fees resulting from PSCs. These changes will become operational, and test participants must comply with them, as of Aug. 5.
Test participants must transmit electronic payment of an increase in estimated duties, taxes, and fees resulting from a PSC via Automated Clearinghouse and may no longer pay such increases via check or cash.
Test participants may choose to pay the full amount of such increases prior to liquidation or wait to be billed at liquidation before making a payment. . . .
Test participants may submit a PSC outside the regular 300-day timeframe for entries where liquidation is suspended beyond 300 days after the date of entry and the entries have an associated suspension basis . . .
Interest payment on the increased estimated duties, taxes, and fees resulting from a PSC will not be accepted prior to liquidation; instead, test participants must pay any interest owed to CBP as a result of the PSC once CBP liquidates the entry and issues a bill, if necessary.
OPINION
13. Baker/McKenzie: "OFAC Reverses US Sanctions Relaxation Related to US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding"
(Source: Global Sanctions and Export Controls Blog, 7 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
* Principal Author: Kerry B. Contini; Baker Mckenzie
On July 7, 2026, the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control revoked Iran General License X ("GL X"), which would have otherwise been valid through August 21, 2026. GL X was issued in June to authorize the production, delivery, and sale of Iranian crude, petrochemical products, and petroleum products. See our earlier summary here.
OFAC replaced GL X with a narrow wind-down authorization issued as Iran General License X1 ("GL X1"). Under GL X1, parties are authorized through 12:01 am EDT on July 17, 2026, to engage in activities that are ordinarily incident and necessary to the wind down of transactions that were authorized by GL X. GL X1 explicitly states that it does not authorize any new transactions.
These include purchases or loading of products on or after July 7. Furthermore, GL X1 now requires any payments to blocked persons be deposited into an interest-bearing account in the United States. . . .

(Source: Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report, 8 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]. Contact: [email protected], 1-305-894-1035
The monthly U.S. trade deficit in goods and services soared 42.2 percent from April to May as imports climbed while exports fell. Deficits with Malaysia, Mexico, and Vietnam hit records as imports from those countries grew to all-time highs, while the deficit with Japan dropped to a record low amid unprecedented exports to that country.
Imports of $395.3 billion in May were up 3.3 percent from April. Imports of goods jumped 4.0 percent to $317.0 billion, with increases of $1.9 billion for pharmaceutical preparations, $1.5 billion for crude oil, and $1.0 billion each for household goods and passenger cars, along with a decrease of $3.4 billion for computers. . . .
Exports were down 3.2 percent to $317.7 billion in May. Exports of goods tumbled 5.1 percent to $210.6 billion, with decreases of $6.2 billion for non-monetary gold, $2.1 billion for computers, and $2.0 billion each for computer accessories and crude oil. Services exports moved up 0.8 percent to $107.1 billion.
The monthly U.S. trade deficit increased from $54.6 billion in April to $77.6 billion in May. The deficit in goods trade was up 28.5 percent to $106.5 billion while the services trade surplus gained 2.1 percent to $28.9 billion. . . .
15. Varik: "DDTC Publishes Latest Regulatory Agenda for the ITAR and U.S. Munitions List"
(Source: Varick, 8 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
* Author: Christopher B. Stagg, Varick, PLLC
Significant changes are planned for the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the U.S. Munitions List (USML). On July 3, 2026, the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) updated its regulatory agenda, listing nine rules it intends to publish over the next 12 months. One of these rules is already published in proposed form and open for public comment; four are in or have completed interagency clearance and should be published soon. This article summarizes DDTC's latest regulatory agenda.
Regulatory Agenda
The latest regulatory agenda focuses heavily on USML-related changes, with six of the nine listed rules targeting this area. This emphasis primarily results from two converging factors: many sections of the USML have not been updated in more than a decade, and Congress mandated more frequent USML reviews in 2023. Additional drivers include recent Executive Orders from the Trump Administration intended to improve defense trade.
With the focus on the USML, several long-standing agenda items have been removed, including a proposed rule to consolidate the ITAR's licensing provisions and exemptions and a final rule to expand the ITAR's licensing exemption for personal protective equipment. DDTC also moved a final rule concerning "deemed exports" to its long-term list, meaning no action is expected within the next 12 months.
Notably, DDTC's planned regulatory actions take place against the backdrop of recent rulemaking that has sought to expand the USML's scope. For instance, the 2025 targeted revisions rule added more items than it removed, and the proposed rules for defense services and space-related controls would further expand the USML. This development marks a significant departure from the Export Control Reform era.
USML Revisions. The six USML-related rules are:
Space-Related Controls: DDTC plans to issue an interim final rule to revise USML Categories IV and XV. While this rule primarily concerns the ITAR's space-related controls, it will make other changes to the USML and ITAR, such as possibly adding "loitering munitions." In October 2024, DDTC published the proposed rule and received more than 800 public comments. DDTC is preparing this interim final rule for publication and sent it for interagency clearance on June 24, 2026.
Omnibus Targeted Revisions: DDTC plans to issue a proposed rule for targeted additions, removals, and other changes to the USML. This rulemaking likely consolidates several actions listed in DDTC's previous regulatory agendas. Those actions included revising the semiconductor controls, updating Category XVI, modernizing the USML and Supplement No. 1 to Part 126, and responding to the public comments regarding Categories IV, V, VIII, XI, and XV from a 2018 interim final rule. DDTC is preparing this proposed rule for publication and sent it for interagency clearance on January 2, 2026.
Firearm Suppressors: DDTC plans to issue an interim final rule to remove certain firearm silencers, mufflers, and sound suppressors. These items are currently designated as significant military equipment. DDTC is preparing to publish this interim final rule, which received interagency clearance on April 7, 2026; the companion rule for the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) received interagency clearance on July 7, 2026.
Supplemental USML Removals: DDTC plans to publish an interim final rule to remove certain items from the USML and "to exclude certain ITAR requirements for reexports, retransfers, and temporary imports." DDTC is preparing this interim final rule for publication and sent it for interagency clearance on December 9, 2025.
Defense Service Controls: DDTC plans to publish a final rule to revise the ITAR's definition of "defense service" and enumerate certain military and intelligence assistance on the USML. DDTC published the proposed rule in July 2024 and received significant public comments. The latest proposal follows three earlier iterations in 2011, 2013, and 2015. In those proposals, DDTC conceded that the current definition is "overly broad," but the latest version seeks to expand its scope.
Technical Data Controls and Other Changes. . . .
Other ITAR Revisions. The three remaining rules are:
Clarifying Policies of Denial, Updating the Major Non-NATO Ally List, and Minor Corrections. . . .
Regular Employee Definition. . . .
Part 130 Requirements. . . .

16. Volkov: "OFAC and OFSI Send a Clear Message: Global Sanctions Compliance Has Entered a New Era"
(Source: Volkov Law, 8 Jul 2026) [Excerpts]
* Principal Author: Michael Volkov, Volkov Law Group LLC
The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the UK's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) recently issued joint guidance comparing their respective sanctions regimes.
While the document provides a useful overview of similarities and differences, it also sends a much broader message: international sanctions enforcement is becoming increasingly coordinated. In this episode, Michael Volkov examines why multinational companies should move beyond country-by-country compliance programs and build integrated, enterprise-wide sanctions compliance frameworks.
He discusses key differences involving ownership and control, reporting obligations, voluntary disclosures, and strict liability standards, while offering practical recommendations for strengthening global sanctions compliance.
As always, the discussion emphasizes practical solutions, ethical leadership, and building compliance programs that work in the real world—because effective compliance is more than following rules; it's earning trust and protecting enterprise value. [Listen to podcast.]

EDITOR'S NOTES
19. Bartlett's Unfamiliar Quotations
(Source: Brainy Quotes)
Jean de La Fontaine (8 Jul 1621 – 13 Apr 1695; was a French fabulist and one of the most widely read French poets of the 17th century. He is known above all for his Fables, which provided a model for subsequent fabulists across Europe and numerous alternative versions in France, as well as in French regional languages.)
"Everyone believes very easily whatever they fear or desire."
"Everyone has his faults which he continually repeats; neither fear nor shame can cure them."
"People who make no noise are dangerous."
John D. Rockefeller (John Davison Rockefeller Sr.; 8 Jul 1839 – 23 May 1937; was an American business magnate and philanthropist. During his lifetime he was considered the world's wealthiest person. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870. He ran it until 1897 and remained its largest shareholder. His peak net worth in 1913 was US $33 billion in 2026 dollars.)
“I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living."
“Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it."
"The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets."
Nelson Rockefeller (Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller; 8 Jul 1908 – 26 Jan 1979; was the grandson of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller. He was an American businessman and politician who served as the 41st vice president of the United States from December 1974 to January 1977, and previously as the 49th governor of New York from 1959 to 1973.)
"There are three periods in life: youth, middle age, and 'how well you look'."
20. Today in History (Source: History Channel)
1853: Commodore Perry Enters Tokyo Bay. On July 8, 1853, U.S. Navy Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry sailed into Tokyo Bay with a squadron of four American warships. His arrival marked a turning point in both Japanese and world history, ending more than two centuries of Japan's policy of isolation from the outside world. By the mid-19th century, the United States wanted safe ports for American ships in the Pacific, access to coal and supplies for steamships, and expanded trade opportunities with Japan. These goals were attained in the Treaty of Kanagawa, signed on March 31, 1854.
