How will express consignment shipments be affected?
Express consignment shipments will be impacted as follows: – Consolidated entries of merchandise subject to the BTA will no longer be allowed. Separate entries will be required. – CBP is currently working with industry representatives to determine how Section 321 clearances from the manifest might be retained under the BTA. Individual manual checks from the manifest to the Prior Notice (PN) file in ACS will be extremely inefficient and will threaten the completion of work during the regular sort time periods in many ECCF/ECCH operations.
