CBP Suspends Low-Value Shipment Access for Several Customs Brokers The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has suspended access for several customs brokers to the Type 86 program, which facilitates low-value import shipments. This voluntary initiative allows consignees to have their customs brokers provide CBP with data filed through the agency’s automated broker interface (ABI) under the de minimis rule. The de minimis rule permits the import of one package per day worth $800 or less without filing a formal customs entry with CBP and, importantly, without paying duties or tariffs.

Compliance in international and domestic trade is crucial. The Type 86 Pilot Program brought many freight forwarders success in the 321 import de minimis arena, but CBP is now tightening regulations. Recent changes under the program effective February 15, 2024, are particularly noteworthy amidst the surge of cross-border and air cargo e-commerce. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) outlined these changes in a Federal Register Notice from January 16, 2024 (89 FR 2630).

"Online merchants selling to US customers, as well as their customs brokers, got an unexpected reprieve last month from the US Customs & Border Protection agency (CBP), which postponed a mandate for advance submission of shipment data. But a squeeze is looming, notably for Chinese sellers. Several bills are before Congress, which are taking aim at shipments below the de minimis threshold of $800 for US consumers." #duties #imports #customs #deminimis #tariffs

Defra digital services - update Some of Defra digital services have experienced technical issues over the last few days. The power outage has now been fully resolved and Defra digital services are once again fully operational. This includes the Automatic Licence Verification System (ALVS). All Imports that arrived after 21:00 14 May 2024 will now clear as normal. Exceptionally, SPS cleared goods affected by the outage which started from 07:45 11/05/24, have been instructed to move away from the border location under customs control. This is a temporary contingency measure. If any goods affected by the outage remain at a border location (eg. uncollected containerised loads) you should immediately contact the port and arrange for collection of those consignments. Goods moved away from the border location under customs control will still show as held on the Customs Declaration System (CDS). At this time, please do not contact the National Clearance Hub to request for your goods to be released. Declarations will be updated as soon as possible but this does not affect the ability for goods to be directed away from the border. If you use an agent, please stay in contact with them for further updates. There are no restrictions on the use or processing of the goods directed away from the border under customs control as part of the outage of Defra systems. Businesses are reminded that they have a legal responsibility to pay any outstanding duties for these imports once the declaration is finalised.
