Trade Policy Updates

CBP recognizes that the current extraordinary weather situation created by Hurricane Harvey may cause many ocean vessels to divert from their intended port of unlading to other port locations for discharge purposes. To ensure smooth processing of bills and associated status notifications in the new port of unlading, CBP reminds the carriers that they should amend the manifest to reflect the new port of unlading. This action will ensure that the automated terminals at the new port of discharge will receive the appropriate notifications. Entries that have already been filed will not need to be amended.
