Entry Type 86

Entry type 86 is an enfirmal entry type for low-valued shipments through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The Type 86 Test allows low value shipments to benefit from the Section 321 de minimis entry process. Type 86 is considered customs business, and entries regulated by partner government agencies must be entered under Type 86 to benefit from the de minimis duty exemption.

Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

NCBFAA Says Better Data Requirements Would Help Prevent Counterfeit Imports
August 5, 2019 |Commerce Dept.

The lack of information provided to the government for low-value shipments is a major impediment to stopping imports of counterfeit goods, the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America told the Commerce Department in a July 29 filing. The comments were filed in response to Commerce's request for input on the subject as it prepares a report for the president (see 1907080030). "For de minimis shipments valued at $800 or less, CBP clears shipments by processing data from manifests, which provides only limited data and does not include the information most needed for effective commercial targeting," the group said.

CBP Considering Advance Data Submission Requirements for Low-Value Shipments
July 22, 2019 by Tim Warren|Top News

CBP will begin testing advance data collections for low-value entries that may be eligible for Section 321 exemptions, the agency said in a notice. "Participants will electronically transmit certain data elements pertaining to these shipments to CBP in advance of arrival," CBP said. "CBP is conducting this test to determine the feasibility of requiring advance data from different types of parties and requiring additional data that is generally not required under current regulations in order to effectively identify and target high-risk shipments in the ecommerce environment."

July 17, 2019 |Customs

CBP will deploy the new entry type 86 for Section 321 shipments in ACE on Sept. 28, rather than the previously planned August date, the agency said in an updated deployment schedule. A Federal Register notice on a test for the entry type is expected soon (see 1905300050). Other changes mentioned in a CSMS message were the deployment dates for Collections Release One and the Modernizing e214 Online Admission Process, which were previously scheduled but are now not finalized. An antidumping and countervailing duty redesign was also added, with a "target deployment" of Sept. 14.

Whole Trade Processing Approach to Be Revisited in Customs Framework Effort, Overacker Says
July 2, 2019 by Tim Warren|Top News

CBP would like to use the ongoing discussion around the 21st century customs framework (see 1903040023) as a way to review some of the most basic ways the agency looks at trade, said Thomas Overacker, CBP executive director, Cargo and Conveyance Security on June 28 while at the American Association of Exporters and Importers Annual Conference in Washington. Hypotheticals mentioned by CBP officials as discussion starters included a rewrite of the entry language in 19 CFR 141 and whether drawback remains a necessary program.

CBP Hints at More E-Commerce Piloting Beyond Entry Type 86
June 27, 2019 |Customs

CBP is planning to start a new pilot program related to e-commerce alongside the long-planned pilot for a new entry type for low-value shipments, said Laurie Dempsey, director of the intellectual property rights and e-commerce division at CBP. There's a "new pilot in the works related specifically to e-commerce," she said. "I don't have a lot of details to share with you at this point, but that also is taking a look at data in the e-commerce space and there will also be a Federal Register notice published around the same time as the Type 86," she said. Dempsey spoke June 27 while at the American Association of Exporters and Importers Annual Conference in Washington.

Entry Type 86 Pilot Federal Register Notice Coming Soon
May 30, 2019 |Customs

CBP will announce a prototype test for type 86 e-commerce entries in the Federal Register very soon, according John Leonard, executive director of the CBP Office of Trade, Policy and Programs. Leonard, who was speaking at the Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee meeting in Laredo, Texas, on May 30, said the new entry type would be for de minimis shipments that have partner government agency requirements. Last month, CBP said it is aiming to publish a notice on the testing of the new Entry Type 86 in the fall. Those entry forms would provide data that would be helpful for risk segmentation, Thomas Overacker, CBP executive director, Cargo and Conveyance Security, said then (see 1904170008).
