CBP ACAS Rule Proposal Expected in Spring
September 11, 2014 by Tim Warren|Customs

A notice of proposed rulemaking for the Air Cargo Advance Screening is expected in the spring, though some new concerns have apparently arisen, said the Airforwarders Association (AfA). Although CBP extended the ongoing ACAS pilot program in July (see 14072515), the rulemaking has been in the works for some time. There may be a new wrinkle, though, as there's been some industry support for a “progressive filing model” that "would require forwarders to take more of a role in export filing" instead of the airlines, the AfA said. This "would result in fines associated with incorrect data passing onto the forwarder," it said.
