CBP issued the following releases on commercial trade and related issues:
Shipments that require either a U.S. agency license or permit must file Electronic Export Information in the Automated Export System, even if an EEI filing exemption would normally apply "for a different commodity," said CBP's Los Angeles/Long Beach Office of Field Operations. Specifically, if a Drug Enforcement Agency form 486 is required for export of DEA List I or II chemicals, then EEI information is required, said CBP in the June 15 public bulletin. The EEI submission is necessary even if the shipment is destined for Canada, said CBP.

CBP will allow through June 24 for carriers and Container Freight Station operators to accept Form 3461 signed by the broker "without fear of penalty for entries that have generated a paperless release (to include split shipments)," the agency's Los Angeles field office said in notice. CBP said some carriers are unable to see release notifications (1C), which have posed a problem since the agency transitioned from the Air Automated Manifest System into the Automated Commercial Environment on June 7 (see 1506110007). Carriers and CFS operators may also accept screen printouts of ACE cargo entry releases submitted by the broker, said CBP. "The printout should have at a minimum the shipment ID and quantity being released as well as clear identification of who presented the release information," it said. The carriers and CFS operators may also accept signed Form 7512 when the 1C or 1D aren't posted, it said.

In the June 10 issue of the CBP Customs Bulletin (Vol. 49, No. 23) (here), CBP published a notice that proposes to revoke or modify rulings and similar treatment for the tariff classification of automotive parts.
CBP is working to fix a problem of multiple messages going out for single airway bills of lading in Automated Commercial Environment Air Manifest, said CBP in a CSMS message (here). CBP has dealt with several issues related to the ACE air manifest (see 1506110007 and 1506090019).
CBP and the French Customs General Directorate worked together in a joint operation to prevent shipments of counterfeit beauty products, said CBP in a press release (here). The agencies seized 76 shipments of such goods worth a total $541,000 based on the manufacturers' suggested retail prices, said CBP. The French customs agency and CBP "shared trend analyses and information generated from the seizures, as appropriate," during the operation, said CBP. "The shared seizure data will also be used for targeting in the future." The operation occurred from April 8 through May 4, focusing "on personal care products and devices that potentially introduce dangerous chemicals and bacteria to the skin and eyes, burning or electrocution due to non-standardized wiring and ineffectual family planning protection to the consumer," said CBP. "Products seized during this event included make-up, condoms, hair removal devices, contact lenses, hair curlers, straighteners and skin cleansing devices."
