The Department of Commerce is renewing approval for the International Import Certificate form, which U.S. businesses use to confirm they’ll import certain goods without reexporting them illegally. About 550 companies spend roughly 16 minutes each time they fill it out, and the government is asking for public feedback for 30 more days.
