The upcoming deployment of electronic foreign trade-zone admission capabilities in August will allow filers to include all portions of an air split shipment in their cumulative e214s for admissions in a given 24 hour period, said Melissa Irmen of Integration Point. “Currently, operators must take procedural precautions to ensure the multiple portions of an air split shipment are reported on separate e214 filings,” Irmen said. CBP Director of Cargo Security and Controls Jim Swanson mentioned the change at a recent National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones conference, she said. CBP did not immediately comment.
CBP issued the following releases on commercial trade and related matters:
The Treasury Department is seeking public comments on regulations, including "Treasury regulations and guidance issued under the Department’s Customs Revenue Function," that deserve repeal or updates, it said in a notice (here). As part of the administration's deregulatory effort (see 1703010025), Treasury "invites interested members of the public to provide input on those Treasury regulations and guidance that should be modified or eliminated in order to reduce burdens." Comments are due July 31.
The October customs broker’s license examination is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 25, CBP said in a notice (here).

The exam typically consists of 80 multiple-choice questions, with a score of at least 75 percent required to pass.
