CBP released a list of eight Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) benefits being considered as part of the Trusted Trader pilot that combines trade compliance with security standards ahead of the Oct. 3 Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee (COAC) meeting. The list includes eight program benefits that were "prioritized based on their feasibility of implementation and impact to industry" and were part of a document from CBP on the COAC Trusted Trader Subcommittee. CBP has previously discussed some benefits being considered, including expedited rulings and an identify theft program (see 1808170003). Other possible benefits include "penalty mitigation/offset," "reconciliation" and "exemption from random" nonintrusive inspections.

CBP created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1815 on Sept. 21, containing 1,230 Automated Broker Interface records and 306 harmonized tariff records, it said in a CSMS message. This update includes modifications related to the imposition of the third tranche of Section 301 tariffs on China (see 1809210026), as well as changes to Chapter 63 related to a new subheading for bed nets. The update also includes some updates related to the enactment of H.R. 4318, the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill Act of 2018 (see 1809140004). "Please be aware that only a portion of the records have been added thus far, and have been included in this update. This effort is ongoing and will continue until all changes have been completed," CBP said. The MTB changes are effective Oct. 13.

Advance manifest submissions will be required in the truck environment for low-value Section 321 goods starting Jan. 1, CBP's Todd Owen said at the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America Government Affairs Conference on Sept. 24. "We are starting to make notice to the trade community that we are changing our policy on that and 321 shipments on truck coming from the border will require electronic submission ahead of time," he said. The truck environment was previously exempt from the advance manifest filing requirements, he said. The policy change is due in part to the added risks created with the rapid growth in low-value shipments and will allow for CBP to apply its advanced targeting to the truck environment, he said. While advance filing for trucks coming from Mexico was required in many places due to individual port directors, it's less common on the northern border, Owen said.
