Analyzed Economic Effects
8 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 7 costs, 0 mixed.
Continuation of CBP Data Collections
CBP is seeking an extension to continue collecting shipping information like cargo manifests, stow plans, container status messages, and Importer Security Filings. The agency says there will be no new fees or big changes and asks for public comments by August 3, 2026.
Importer Security Filing (ISF) Filing Duty
Most import cargo arriving by vessel requires the importer or its authorized agent to submit ISF data elements listed in 19 CFR 149.3 through a CBP-approved electronic interchange within the timeframes in 19 CFR 149.2. CBP estimates 240,000 respondents with 34 ISF responses per respondent annually, at 1 hour per response.
Vessel Stow Plan 48-Hour Rule
Incoming carriers must electronically submit a vessel stow plan no later than 48 hours after departing the last foreign port, or before arrival if the voyage is less than 48 hours. This rule is provided for by 19 CFR 4.7c.
Container Status Message Submission Requirement
For containers destined to U.S. ports, carriers must transmit Container Status Messages (CSMs) to CBP via a CBP-approved electronic system when the carrier creates or collects such messages in its tracking system. CSMs report events like loading, unloading, and arrival.
Enhanced ACAS Added Data Requirements
The Enhanced Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) program adds mandatory and conditional data elements such as consignee email and phone, shipment packing location, ship-to party, and certain device IP/MAC addresses or account data in specific circumstances. These elements must be transmitted on an ACAS timeframe.
Electronic Export Manifest Timing Requirements
Carriers or agents providing electronic export manifest (EEM) data must submit an initial '7+1' set of elements at least 24 hours before a conveyance departs the final U.S. port of export, and provide the remaining EEM elements at least 2 hours before departure.
Limited Paper CBP Form 1302 Still Required
Although CBP has mostly automated Form 1302 through the ACE system, certain circumstances still require a paper CBP Form 1302 (for example, vessel equipment intended for discharge or empty containers transported coastwise). CBP is working to automate remaining use cases through the Vessel Entrance and Clearance System (VECS).
Manifest Confidentiality Request Option
Importers, consignees, or shippers may request confidential treatment of their name and address on vessel manifests by following the procedure in 19 CFR 103.31. This allows certain parties to shield name/address data contained in manifests.
