CBP Los Angeles released updated guidance on filing formal entries for cargo carried by passengers by hand in light of new ACE cargo release processes. Filers are “strongly urged” to fill out a “Passenger Hand-Carry Release for ACE Entry" sheet with information on the passenger, customs broker, flight and merchandise, pre-file it in ACE via the Document Image System along with a copy of the passenger’s passport and any pertinent entry documents, CBP L.A. said. After reviewing the entry in ACE cargo release, the CBP officer will sign and stamp the sheet and fax it to the terminal, with a “Public Note” transmitted via ACE to the filer serving as a release message. “If the passenger arrives and an entry cannot be located, the officer at the terminal will contact CBP Cargo Operations to inquire about the formal entry prior to post-entering the shipment,” CBP L.A. said. On Saturdays, Sundays and after hours on Monday through Friday, filers will be required to contact the Cargo Counter or Manifest Desk to notify CBP about the hand-carried entry, it said.
