SUBJECT: REMINDER - ENTRY FILINGS FOR BULK SHIPMENTS
AUTOMATED MANIFEST SYSTEMS BULK CARRIERS (I.E., LIQUID, DRY) HAVE BEEN
INSTRUCTED BY CBP TO MANIFEST THEIR QUANTITIES TO REPRESENT THE LOWEST
EXTERNAL UNIT, WHICH IN MOST CASES WILL BE (1). ENTRIES FILED FOR THESE
THESE TYPES OF PRODUCTS SHOULD ALSO REFLECT THE MANIFEST QUANTITY OF (1)
AND NOT THE WEIGHT AS IN PAST PAPER MANIFEST PRACTICES.
FILING OF THE INCORRECT QUANTITY WILL RESULT IN THE CARRIER'S BILL
OF LADING REMAINING "OPEN" AND THEREFORE UNRECONCILED.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE PROPER MANIFEST QUANTITY IS BEING SUBMITTED WITH
YOUR ENTRY DATA FOR BULK SHIPMENTS.
QUESTIONS ON THIS ISSUE MAY BE DIRECTED TO YOUR ASSIGNED CLIENT
REPRESENTATIVE.
