  • 2021-00006 — Delayed Deployment Date for Modification of Test Program Regarding Electronic Foreign Trade Zone Admission Applications for Expanded Zone Identification Numbers
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 1116
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has postponed the implementation date for changes to electronic Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) admission applications from January 25, 2021, to April 25, 2021. These modifications will expand the zone identification number from seven to nine digits to help with trade operations. The delay allows CBP and trade participants more time to make necessary programming updates and coordinate with local zone operators who will receive new zone ID numbers. Comments on this notice can be submitted by email.

    Simple Explanation

    CBP, the part of the government that helps with moving things in and out of the country, needed to change some number codes used for tracking, but they decided to wait a little longer until April 2021 to make sure everything works right. This gives them and others working with them extra time to get ready.

  • 2024-31331 — Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Electronic Export Manifest for Rail Cargo
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 2874
    Reading Time:about 2 hours

    The proposed rule by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under the Department of Homeland Security mandates that rail carriers electronically submit export manifest data for trains leaving the U.S. This new regulation aims to enhance cargo security by requiring pre-departure information through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), improving risk assessment, and ensuring compliance with U.S. export laws. The rule also outlines the parties eligible to submit data and specifies timelines for data submissions to minimize the risk of undocumented and potentially hazardous cargo leaving the country. Additionally, the economic analysis suggests that the regulation could result in significant cost savings for both CBP and the trade industry by streamlining the export process and reducing reliance on paper documentation.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine there’s a new rule that says train drivers have to tell mom and dad in charge of safety all about their train and what it's carrying before they leave. This helps keep everyone safe and makes sure they don’t lose important papers, but it might cost some money and time to do it right.

  • 2024-29238 — Seafood Import Procedures and Certification of Admissibility
    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 102091
    Reading Time:about 45 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes a new regulation to enable electronic filing of the Certification of Admissibility (COA) form for importing certain fish and fish products to the United States. This rule aims to streamline the entry process for non-restricted seafood imports while maintaining adherence to laws like the Marine Mammal Protection Act, enabling consistency across programs and reducing paperwork burdens. By automating the COA process through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) portal, NMFS intends to facilitate trade while ensuring compliance with U.S. import restrictions on fisheries from foreign nations. Stakeholders, including importers and exporters, are encouraged to submit their comments on the proposal by February 18, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Marine Fisheries Service wants to make it easier to bring fish into the U.S. by using computers instead of paper to fill out special forms that say the fish are allowed, but they need to make sure everyone can understand and work with the new rules.
