Among other things, CBP posted draft recommendations from the International Engagement and Trade Facilitation Working Group that describe some best practices that the agency could suggest to other customs administrations.

The Pipeline Working Group also offered a recommendation for the Aug. 23 meeting, suggesting that "CBP begin a Proof of Concept Pipeline Pilot to allow Pipeline Operators to utilize a Monthly 7512 batch reporting process." The agency should "consult with the Pipeline Working Group to develop the parameters of the Pilot and bonding requirements and potential expansion," the group said.
