CBP reminded the trade community that the agency will deploy the second release of the "Section 321 – Does Not Exceed $800 in Aggregated Shipments" enhancement in ACE on Jan. 11.
The final rule requiring importers to electronically file the Consumer Product Safety Commission's Certificates of Compliance will be effective in stages in 2026 and 2027, according to a Federal Register notice.
CBP suspended multiple customs brokers from participating in the Entry Type 86 pilot in May, and officials who participated in a background interview recently with International Trade Today said some of those firms haven't been reinstated.
While it's still CBP's goal in the next 16 days to release a notice of proposed rulemaking on requirements for data submissions and on restrictions for goods eligible for de minimis, agency officials acknowledged that one or both might not be ready in time.
CBP has moved up the target date for when the agency expects to deploy an enhancement that could affect facilities handling low-value Section 321 shipments.

Shein, which has made its business selling fast fashion from Chinese manufacturers in de minimis packages to American consumers, announced Dec. 19 that it has begun participating in the Section 321 Data Pilot program. The Section 321 pilot is smaller and requires less data than Type 86 filing. The company said it had been participating more than 30 days, and CBP confirmed that it was receiving all the relevant import entry information for the data pilot.
