CSMS # 59852167 - Deadline Extended: CBP Form 1302A Cargo Declaration – Outbound with Commercial Form Will No Longer be Accepted in Document Image System (DIS)

Due to increased trade participation in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Electronic Export Manifest (EEM) pilot, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is extending the use of the Document Image System (DIS) as an acceptable method to submit the form 1302A Cargo Declaration from April 1, 2024, to October 1, 2024.

This extension is intended to provide additional time for affected trade participants to adequately program and test with their assigned CBP Client Representatives. Trade participants currently programming and testing should work towards transitioning over to submitting 100% EEM prior to October 1, 2024.

CBP plans to announce in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) that will mandate the submission of the EEM. After the announcement, CBP will move to disallow the DIS as an acceptable means to submit the export manifest (i.e., CBP form 1302A and its associated documents).

Carriers submitting 100% EEM will no longer be required to submit CBP Form 1302A in paper or to DIS. Carriers currently submitting 100% EEM are identified in Appendix P of the Electronic Export Manifest Implementation Guides.

Interested carriers, NVOs and Service Providers should contact their respective CBP Client Representative for instructions. CBP Field Offices and Trade can also submit questions directly to the Outbound Enforcement and Policy Branch, at cbpvesselexportmanifest@cbp.dhs.gov.
