How far in advance does cargo information need to be received by FedEx Trade Networks for processing?
In order to meet CBP’s 1-hour requirement and allow sufficient time for processing, we request that paperwork be faxed or e-mailed (only TIFF or PDF format can be accepted) at least 3 HOURS prior to the carrier reaching the border. This timeframe will help ensure sufficient time for FedEx Trade Networks to receive, process and transmit cargo information to CBP in compliance with the 1-hour requirement. In some rare instances due to shipment complexity, and length of processing time required, we may request additional lead time. Confirmation of fax or e-mail receipt by FedEx Trade Networks does not constitute arrival approval by CBP. It is your responsibility to verify, prior to arrival at the border, that your cargo data has been accepted by CBP.
