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.

CBP Shortens Time Frame for Type 86 Entries, Citing 'Enforcement Challenges'
January 12, 2024 |Bulletin

CBP will require type 86 entries to be filed “upon or prior to arrival” of the shipment beginning Feb. 15, it said in a notice modifying its Entry Type 86 test. The change from the current requirement, which is within 15 days of arrival of the cargo, is intended to address “enforcement challenges surrounding low-value shipments entered” via type 86, CBP said. The notice also “clarifies the consequences of misconduct” by participants in the pilot, including potential ineligibility for type 86 entry filing, the agency said.
