CBP added carnet reference codes to ACE truck manifest messages
CBP announced updates to ACE truck manifest implementation guides to add new codes for Carnets, including a Bill of Lading Type code, Carnet Number and Carnet Expiration reference qualifiers, and related error codes. The changes let filers submit a Carnet number and expiration date in the Import Truck Manifest to improve processing at ports of entry. CBP said trade parties and software developers using EDI must update their systems, and that Certification and Production dates would be announced in a future CSMS.

This message concerns EDI formatting for truck carriers and software providers, not the entries we file for importers. We do not manage truck manifest EDI transmissions, so this update does not change how we process client entries. Clients do not need to act, and a later CSMS may have set the actual effective dates, so ask us if you have a specific carnet shipment question.
CBP added new seal-related codes to ocean and rail import manifest guidance
CBP announced updates to the ACE Ocean/Rail Import Manifest Appendix D document, adding two new disposition codes, D2 for a seal added and D3 for a seal deleted, for a future system enhancement. The message stated a separate CSMS would follow with release dates for Certification and Production. It did not set an effective date for the new codes.

This notice concerns how CBP's manifest system reports container seal changes to carriers and filers, not entry filing itself. It does not change any duty, entry, or documentation requirement for our clients. Clients do not need to take any action on this item.
The summaries and positions are general information, not legal advice. Always check the official CBP message, which each page links to.
