CBP issued a CSMS message to remind those filing ACE ABI In-Bond transactions that they must nominate themselves as a secondary notify party in the transaction. If the carrier has not nominated the filer, a failure to nominate oneself will mean the filer will not receive any of the subsequent status notifications related to the in-bond filing, said CBP.
CBP is requesting comments by Nov. 26 for an existing information collection on foreign assembler declarations with endorsement by the importer. CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this information collection with a change to the burden hours but not the information collected, it said in a notice scheduled to run in the Federal Register Sept. 26.
CBP Deputy Commissioner David Aguilar worked with with the Border Interagency Executive Council in developing a “one U.S. government” approach to partnerships with the trade, said a CBP press release. The council is made up of senior executives from 10 U.S. federal agencies and collaborates on issues including the federal government's efforts to transform the trade process, ongoing efforts across federal agencies to partner with the trade, and the use of automation to streamline the international trade clearance process, said CBP.
CBP updated its guidance on interim filing options for merchandise transported via pipelines to say "non-NAFTA qualifying merchandise transported via pipeline is now eligible to be entered on a monthly basis using RLF." CBP previously only allowed for non-NAFTA RLF filing on a daily basis. NAFTA qualifying merchandise is still eligible for monthly RLF entry.
CBP opened the Petroleum, Natural Gas and Minerals Center of Excellence and Expertise CEE in Houston Sept. 17, it said in a Sept. 24 press release. The CEE has started centralized processing for all trusted partners in the industry, "providing uniformity for trusted importers," said CBP.
