U.S. Customs and Border Protection published a Federal Register Notice (FRN) today announcing a National Customs Automation Program (NCAP)

test concerning entries filed using remote location (RLF) filing procedures.

The test expands the entry types eligible for RLF procedures and the port

locations where RLF entries may be filed; requires the electronic transmission of invoices using the Document Image System (DIS); and requires that single transaction bonds be transmitted using eBond for RLF entries requiring a single transaction bond. This test applies only to entries ‘‘certified for

cargo release from summary’’ filed through the Automated Commercial

Environment (ACE). See attached Notice for test criteria and eligibility requirements.
