Trade Policy Updates

“For cargo being diverted from the Port of Houston to another CBP port, CBP will accept a copy of the CBP Form 3171 that was presented to Houston, due to the fact that trading partners with offices in Houston may be unable to create a new 3171. Pen and ink changes to the copy reflecting the new Port, (block 2), Arriving From (block 6), Date/Time of Arrival (block 7) and Locations (block 8), and as applicable, will be sufficient.”
