Trade Policy Updates

In June 2017, CBP will make it mandatory for the trade to provide the Contact Name and Contact Phone for all entries on the SE13 Record. This will assist the trade and CBP in facilitating the movement of cargo during the inspection process as well as expedite the release process. A date will be given as to when CBP will make the Contact Name and Contact Phone mandatory. Changes to the CATAIR will be made at a later date.
