CBP is requesting comments by March 27 for an existing information collection on Entry and Immediate delivery applications and Automated Commercial Environment Cargo Release. CBP proposes (here) to extend the expiration date of this information collection with a change in the burden hours resulting from the transition from Form 3461 to ACE Cargo Release.
CBP provided guidance on how the agency will process vessel diversions between Seattle and Tacoma, in a CSMS message (here). CBP in the Area Port of Seattle will correct the port of unlading on entries for the diverted vessel at the filers request with minimal paperwork and it is not necessary to cancel entries, the agency said. CBP will also process cancellations for entries with minimal paperwork, if the filers request that method, it said. CBP will only correct entries after the carrier updates the port of unlading in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for their bills of lading, said CBP. "Terminals may not see a release if a correction is processed by CBP prior to the ACE manifest corrections by the Carrier," it said.
The Advisory Committee on Commercial Operations (COAC) for CBP will next meet on Feb. 11 in San Francisco, CBP said in a notice (here). Recommendations for CBP on regulating customs brokers' collection of importer bona fides information are among the agenda items planned for the meeting. A COAC group previously put off making recommendations on the subject while the agency developed a proposal on a new Form 5106 (see 13111801). CBP proposed revisions to the form in October (see 14100815).
