CBP Document Compares Recently Announced Section 321 Programs
September 9, 2019 |Customs

CBP offered a review of the Section 321 data pilot (see 1907220025) and the Type 86 entry test (see 1908120019) in a new document posted by the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America. The data pilot is meant to "more clearly and accurately identify the entity causing the 321 shipment to move, the final recipient, and the contents of the package," CBP said. The ACE Type 86 entry test is hoped to give "greater visibility into the de minimis universe for both CBP and [partner government agencies] PGAs while ensuring regulatory requirements are met." The data pilot is limited to nine participants, while the Type 86 test is open to all customs brokers and self-filers.
