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

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").

Under CPSC’s regulations, disposable lighters are defined as either (1) non-refillable, or (2) use butane or similar fuels and have a “Customs valuation or ex-factory price under” a certain threshold, now $2.50.
