CBP will begin a test of rail cargo manifest filing for exports within the Automated Commercial Environment, the agency said in a notice (here). The voluntary test will require participants to submit export data electronically at least two hours before loading, the agency said. Currently, CBP requires no paper or electronic manifest for rail cargo. The pilot will begin by Oct. 9, and is scheduled to last for two years, said CBP.
