Customs Tests Digital IDs for Canadian and Mexican Oil
Published Date: 6/2/2026
Notice
Summary
Starting July 2, 2026, U.S. Customs will test a new way to track crude oil pipelines from Canada and Mexico using smart digital IDs and secure data. This helps Customs see oil movements and ownership changes almost instantly, making border checks faster and smoother. Companies involved in crude oil pipelines can join anytime during the one-year test and share their feedback.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Participants Bear Neoflow Access Costs
Approved participants must establish access to the Neoflow platform and Neoflow will provide specific information about costs before participation begins. CBP will not be a party to or responsible for any terms, conditions, or costs that Neoflow charges participants.
CBP Access, Data Use, and FOIA Disclosure Risk
CBP will have access to data provided on the Neoflow platform for any lawful purpose and may share test data with partner government agencies. Participation is not confidential and CBP will disclose the names of approved participants in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, even though some submitted data may be protected under trade secret and privacy laws.
CBP Will Evaluate Data for Future Uses
CBP will evaluate the test data to decide if the interoperability standards and Neoflow platform could support future actions such as test expansion, regulatory updates, monthly report reconciliation, ACE integration, supply chain visibility, and free trade agreement compliance. CBP will publish technical specifications and may announce expansions or agency data recipients in future Federal Register notices.
One‑Year Voluntary Pipeline Test
Starting July 2, 2026, CBP will run a voluntary test for one year to collect near‑real‑time data on crude oil pipelines from Canada and Mexico. Importers of record, pipeline operators, and licensed customs brokers may ask to join the test at any time while the test runs.
No Waiver of Existing Filing Rules
Companies in the test must continue to provide all data required by current regulations, including entry, FTZ admission, in‑bond movement/entries, and monthly pipeline operator reports. The test does not waive any regulatory requirements.
Limited Enforcement Use of Test Data
CBP states it does not intend to take enforcement action based solely on discrepancies or inaccuracies in data received through the Neoflow platform during the test. CBP may, however, evaluate discrepancies and request additional information to resolve them.
