What did CBP announce?
CBP announced an update to the draft ACE CATAIR Stand-alone Filing for Prior Notice Data (PE/PX) document. The update added guidance covering Entry Type 13. CBP posted the revised draft chapter on cbp.gov and directed questions to its CREM mailbox.
What is Allied's position?
This update concerns the technical filing specifications that brokers like Allied use to submit prior notice data for entry type 13 mail entries. It does not require action from importers or shippers. Later CSMS messages may have changed these technical requirements further, so clients with questions about their entry type 13 filings should ask Allied to review them.
General information, not legal advice.
