CBP is developing a “hybrid” process for low-value shipments based on the lessons from the low-value shipment data and Entry Type 86 pilots, Jim Swanson, CBP director-cargo and conveyance security and controls, said during a CBP Virtual Trade Week session Sept. 10. “We are looking at what a hybrid is going to look like,” he said. “What kind of process can collect this additional information from the party who owns it, get it in an early enough time for safety and security and enforcement perspective?” he said.

The new processes will incorporate lessons learned from those pilots, and bring the pilots to a close so CBP can open them up to more widespread participation, Morgan said.

CBP is trying to get a handle on a recent boom in Type 86 entries, said Jim Swanson of the Office of Cargo Security and Controls in the CBP Office of Field Operations. The dramatic increase in entries is causing slowdowns in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and threatens to overwhelm the agency's ability to control the flow, he said. Swanson spoke on a May 8 conference call about the bottlenecking entries. With more than 30 million entries and nearing 40 million, “I believe Type 86 has now surpassed the number of formal entries filed in previous years” or is “awful close to it,” he said.
