CBP Makes Technical Changes to Export Requirements in Customs Regulations

CBP is making technical changes to its regulations to conform to current export requirements, including recent amendments to the Census Bureau's Foreign Trade Regulations, it said (here). CBP's final rule adopts new terminology and makes confirming amendments to reflect the automation of export filing in the Automated Export System. For example, references to "shippers export declarations" throughout the customs regulations are replaced with "Electronic Export Information," changes are made to reflect the current names of the Census Bureau and CBP, and filing rules are amended so that they direct the "transmission" rather than the "presentation" of documentation. The changes, which affect 19 CFR Parts 4, 10, 18, 113, 122, 123, 141,191 and 192, take effect July 13.
