CBP will soon add Advanced Qualified Unlading Approval (AQUA) Lane privileges at CBP Port Everglades in Florida, said the port in an information bulletin. After Dec. 13, "requests to start cargo processing will only be granted through AQUA Lane," it said. The program is meant to allow for expedited vessel entrance for sea carriers that are Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certified, said CBP. Vessel agents must submit CBP Form 3171 with the Notice of Arrival to request AQUA Lange privileges and CBP will respond with a decision by email, said the port. "AQUA Lane, a joint partnership between CBP/C-TPAT, sea carriers and world trade associations will benefit all partners, as it will enhance CBP's utilization of resources and facilitate increased partnership in securing the overall supply chain," it said.
