Trade Policy Updates
Enforcement of the changes to the in-bond regulations that was scheduled to begin on February 6, 2019 has been postponed due the government funding hiatus. A new enforcement date will be established after full operations resume. This will allow CBP to reschedule the planned consultation and collaboration with the trade through the Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee (COAC) In-bond Working Group. At this time, enforcement is not expected prior to March 1, 2019.
Additionally, CBP published a rule on April 12, 2018 which expanded the definition of Importer Security Filing (ISF) Importer for certain types of shipments. The changes were necessary to ensure that the ISF Importer included parties that have a commercial interest in the cargo and have best access to the required data.
CBP had planned to begin issuing liquidated damages claims for violations of the ISF-5 requirements on January 21, 2019. However due to the lapse in funding, CBP is suspending the enforcement of ISF-5 filings. CBP will issue additional guidance following the end of the current funding lapse.
