EFFECTIVE MAY 30, 2007, U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION.
(CBP) IMPLEMENTED UPDATED ENHANCEMENTS TO THEIR INTERNAL.
DATA SYSTEM THAT MAY CAUSE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
INTENSIVE EXAMINATIONS OF IDENTIFIED "HIGH RISK" SHIPMENTS.
CONCURRENTLY, THE REFERENCED ENHANCEMENTS SHOULD RESOLVE
ISSUES INVOLVING PERMIT TO TRANSFERS (PTT) AND CONSOLIDATED
SHIPMENTS MOVING IN-BOND UNDER ONE (1) MASTER BILL OF
LADING (MBL). WITH THE NEW FUNCTIONALITY, RISK ASSESSMENTS
WILL BE CONDUCTED ON INDIVIDUAL SHIPMENTS RATHER THAN BEING
LINKED TO OTHER SHIPMENTS UNDER THE MASTER BILL OF LADING.
FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS ARE CONTEMPLATED. WHEN CHANGES TAKE
PLACE, CBP WILL UPDATE THE TRADE COMMUNITY IN A TIMELY
MANNER.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL CBP PORT OFFICE, IF YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS.
