Can I get a PAPS and a U.S. entry at Champlain today?
A PAPS number is the shipment number on the truck's ACE eManifest. CBP must receive the eManifest no later than 1 hour before the truck reaches the port, or 30 minutes for a shipment that qualifies for FAST processing (19 CFR 123.92).
The entry tells CBP what the goods are, what they cost and who imports them. The PAPS number connects the truck to that entry. If a required filing is missing, CBP can send the truck back or hold it at the port. Filing acceptance does not guarantee release. CBP decides to release or examine the goods.
These timing rules apply when CBP requires advance truck cargo information. Some informal entries are exempt under 19 CFR 123.92(b)(2): goods that are free of duty (unconditionally or conditionally) and worth $2,500 or less on CBP Form 7523, entries on CBP Form 368 or 368A, and U.S. goods returned on CBP Form 3311. Allied checks which filings your shipment needs before we quote.
No carrier or SCAC? Tell us. For selected requests that our staff accepts, Allied acts as the carrier of record under its own SCAC for the ACE truck eManifest. Allied also files the U.S. customs entry.

Allied reviews each request first
Our staff reviews each request before we accept it. We tell you if we can file it the same day and what we need from you. Start the same-day PAPS request.
Road transport rules
Customs filing does not replace USDOT and motor carrier rules. Tell us if the trip is personal or for business. Send the weight ratings and the loaded weights of the truck and the trailer. In interstate or foreign commerce, a vehicle or combination with a weight rating or weight of 10,001 pounds or more can need a USDOT number (49 CFR 390.5, 390.201). Other rules can also apply.

For FAST processing, the driver must hold a valid FAST card, the carrier and importer must meet CTPAT rules, and the shipment must qualify. Use the 1-hour period unless Allied confirms FAST for this trip. Other trucks use the regular lanes. A 24-hour crossing does not mean that Allied offers 24-hour filing service.

What if I bring a car or a trailer through Champlain?
Cars and trucks
Send the VIN, the ownership documents, the date of manufacture and the engine details before travel. NHTSA HS-7 box 1 needs a vehicle at least 25 years old from its date of manufacture. EPA code E on Form 3520-1 needs at least 21 years and the original configuration. A replaced engine must meet EPA rules. Heavy-duty highway engines use EPA Form 3520-21. Allied confirms the declarations. See vehicle import and how to import a car.
Trailers
A trailer that you import permanently is imported merchandise. Declare it, also when it carries other goods. It also needs a DOT HS-7 declaration and a safety compliance or exemption basis. Send its VIN, the ownership documents and photos of its certification label before travel. See trailer import.
Commercial loads
CBP generally requires a formal entry above $2,500 and for some goods at any value. An eligible shipment of lower value can use an informal entry. Allied confirms the entry type and any bond after we review the goods. See formal entry for the rules.
Regular carriers
Carriers that cross often can use Allied for every load. See cross-border truck clearance.
