Port of NY/NJ Says No More Paper Responses to 'Docs Required' Messages
May 17, 2016 |Customs

The Port of New York/Newark provided guidance to filers on how to submit documentation to CBP in light of the ongoing transition to ACE, in an informational pipeline dated May 16. When receiving “Documents Required” or “Intensive” messages after filing an entry in ACE, filers should not submit paper documents, but rather use the Document Imaging System via electronic data interchange (EDI) or email them to docs@cbp.dhs.gov, it said. Remote location filing (RLF) filers submitting ACE entry summaries certified for cargo release must submit their invoices to CBP via DIS, and not the legacy Automated Import Interface (AII), said the pipeline. Filers that receive requests for an entry summary package, or receive a CBP Form 28 or Form 29, may respond via the ACE Portal, DIS via EDI, email, or in paper form, it said.

CBP Provides Details on Forced Labor Allegations

CBP addressed several concerns recently raised by importers and the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America about coming rules on imports made by forced or child labor (see 1605090007). There are several paths for importers to defend allegations importing goods subject to withhold release orders, said a CBP spokeswoman in an email. The agency also responded to questions about its use of risk-based targeting for WROs and training for CBP officers at the ports.
