CBP最终确定规则，要求铁路货物提交电子出口舱单

On August 26, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a final rule that will require an Electronic Export Manifest (EEM) for cargo departing by rail to Mexico or Canada. Mandatory electronic filing of rail export manifests will enhance visibility of outbound rail cargo by requiring outbound rail manifest submission prior to cargo departure from the United States.

SUMMARY

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is revising its regulations pursuant to the Trade Act of 2002 requiring the transmission of export manifest data electronically in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for cargo transported by rail for any train departing the United States. This rule mandates the electronic transmission of rail export manifest information, identifies the parties eligible to transmit information, and describes the time frames prior to departure in which the information is due. This rule enables CBP to address important cargo security concerns while providing efficiencies to the trade.

DATES

Effective date: This rule is effective on October 26, 2026.

Compliance date: CBP will begin enforcing this rule on October 26, 2027.
