CBP on July 24 made technical amendments to its regulations involving NAFTA tariff treatment and suspension of liquidation pursuant to antidumping and countervailing duty determinations.

CBP ended its exemption on July 25 for Maersk and other carriers from Importer Security Filing requirements and the 24-hour rule for filing cargo data before loading at foreign ports, CBP said in "messaging sent to internal stake holders, and some Trade," according to an agency spokeswoman. The CBP Manifest and Conveyance Security Division allowed for the exemption as of June 27, soon after a cyberattack left Maersk with major connectivity issues. CBP said the exemption also applied to SeaLand, Safmarine and DAMCO. "Maersk et al. are able to timely transmit, with the exceptions of a few shipments not making the load list within the required time frame," CBP said in its message. "Affected carriers with shipments not making the load list should continue to work closely with the intended ports of arrivals to obtain any additional guidance. Ports are advised to review late transmission for those partially affected shipments and mitigate as deemed appropriate. Any penalties that result from failure to comply with the 24-hour rule and/or timely ISF filings, beginning June 27th – July 25, 2017, will be looked at on a case-by-case basis."
