The Automated Manifest System (AMS) is an electronic system used for cargo data exchange between actors during U.S. imports. It supports departure, arrival, and release information. AMS modernizes the maritime inventory system and is also used for air, rail, and road transport. Shippers must file an AMS manifest with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before goods arrive at U.S. ports. The manifest includes details like ship names, commodity information, and container numbers. Timely filing is crucial, and AMS enhances cargo processing efficiency while minimizing paperwork. 🚢🌐 #Shipping #Logistics #SupplyChain #Trade #Customs #Maritime 

CBP has to carefully check cargo when entering the country and may sometimes put the shipment on hold. While there are many reasons why customs detains your goods, there are ways to prevent this from happening - https://lnkd.in/ezHkYxvY - #chb #customs #internationalshipping #hts #customsbroker #freight #billoflading #importing #ffl #regulations

To the Brokerage Community, my best advice to all is that your entry writer teams must be to pay even more attention to the ACE messaging. I view these messages as a positive step because it should allow the broker and importer to research within the 10 day window.

Why do Transit Documents (T1) into the UK not need a vehicle number but export T1’s do? Last week, someone emailed Rocky and he was more than happy to respond. A lot of import T1’s are submitted and used without a vehicle number but in actual fact all T1’s should include the vehicle number that the goods are travelling on. Non-UK offices of dispatch do not appear to enforce this, but the UK does! Other than it being a mandatory requirement in the transit manual, there are several reasons as to why a vehicle number should be present: • Border authorities can identify the load and helps with tracking and tracing the vehicle throughout its journey. • In cases of discrepancies or issues during transit, having the vehicle number enables easy identification. • When discharging the T1 at the designated customs office, it gives officers the chance to ensure the goods correlate and that the T1 is correct.

Are you registered for the U.S. Customs Cargo Systems Messaging Service? This is a quick guidance shared to remind about the obligations and requirements in completing origin documents. It seems that the CBP has seen an increase in the number of consignee information used where the importer is required. This is mostly relevant when claiming preferential tariff treatment. To avoid delays or having your request denied, if a consignee is not the IOR, the consignee may NOT be listed as the importer on the origin declaration, origin statement, or certification of origin. #Marken #RegulatoryUpdate #USImports #TradeCompliance

Aviation, trade sectors brace for government shutdown. Agencies will be stretched to keep functioning at normal levels, businesses fear. For importers and exporters, the concern is that U.S. Customs and Border Protection #CBP inspectors may not have the ability to consult #import specialists to determine if certain entries are in compliance and that partner agencies, such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission, may be short personnel to sign off on certain imports. The National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America rallied 40 trade associations to sign a petition calling on agencies that regulate cross-border #trade to stay in close touch with industry representatives so problems clearing shipments can be quickly resolved. CBP has established a “war room” to monitor imports and exports at ports of entry and address bottlenecks. The groups asked for a direct line of communication to the incident-response team and for CBP to invite partner government agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration, to send staff to the meeting site. The trade community also urged Customs to ensure technical support for the Automated Commercial Environment, the portal through which imports and exports are reported to the government, so it continues to operate normally. CBP should also pre-plan how industry-focused import centers coordinate with the local ports to prevent unnecessary slowdowns in moving shipments, the message said. #FDA #customscompliance https://lnkd.in/gQfNrGGC

No importer wants to receive this ⚠️… A notice stating that your goods have been detained for further investigation.     And, believe me, it does happen. U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) inspects merchandise every single day. And if they may detain your cargo if: ⚠️ They suspect that it may violate U.S. laws and regulations.   ⚠️ There are documentation issues, like missing or incorrect information. ⚠️ They believe the shipment may contain prohibited or illegal items. Once the decision is made, you’ll receive a formal notice within 5 days outlining: ✔️ The reason for the detention. ✔️ The estimated length of time your goods will be detained. ✔️ A description of any inquiries or tests to be made. ✔️ Additional information you can provide to speed up the process. 𝗦𝗼, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱. Before the goods are rejected or seized.   The question is: 𝗛𝗢W? 1️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 CBP’s procedures come with strict deadlines. And the costs associated with inspections, transportation, and storage of detained goods do add up. In other words, procrastinating is out of the question. 2️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿 For us, these situations are business as usual. Plus, CBP often sends electronic notices to brokers faster than written ones to importers. So, I’m likely to contact you first 😉. 3️⃣ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 Ensure your merchandise complies with all relevant laws and regulations before importing it into the U.S.   P.S. FYI, aside from seizure, CBP may consider other solutions. So, if you find yourself with your cargo detained, I’m here to help you. Got questions? Drop them in the comments below! 💬
