CBP Seattle Requiring Background Info for Bonded Facility Applications

All new bonded facility applications submitted to the Port of Seattle must include CBP Form 3078 (Application for Identification Card) to "allow for the gathering of the most up-to-date information," said CBP's Seattle Field Office in a trade information notice. Effective Dec. 2, each new application must include a Form 3078 for all facility officers, principals and individuals with access to facility recordkeeping, it said. CBP said in March it would begin to handle the background checks of bonded facility employees, using the Trusted Worker Module and Global Enrollment System for the vetting (see 13030411).
