CSMS #51431664 - General Order Discretion for Expeditors International Shipments

Due to issues stemming from a cyberattack, CBP is exercising discretion in the issuance of liquidated damages and penalties for shipments, where Expeditors International is the Customs Broker, that do not move to a General Order warehouse within the regulatory timeframes. The purpose of this CSMS is to notify carriers, terminal operators and other custodians of unentered merchandise to exercise similar discretion in affected shipments and to prevent unnecessary cost of General Order. This guidance applies to both direct arrival into the U.S. and in-bond movement to subsequent ports. This discretion will expire upon Expeditor’s return to full automated operations. CBP will issue a notice advising of the end of the discretionary period.
