Links:previous, original, next

In the near future, a number of updates to the CAMIR and ANSI X12 sea and rail Interface Guidelines documents posted on the CBP website, will occur.

In ANSI X12 rail Customs Manifest Bill of lading Type Code code 12 empty container page 17 - 18

In ANSI X12 US Customs Manifest with Security Filing Bill of Lading Type Code code 12 empty container page 17-18 in Header preceding list of codes

In CAMIR Input to Customs and Border Protection Bill of Lading Status indicator code 2 empty container Note 2 page INP 30:

The following will be added to the definition for empty container bill type:

The empty container bill type can only be used for carrier-owned/leased instruments of international traffic.

In accordance with the CBP regulations at 19 CFR 10.41a and 19 CFR 113.66, entities requesting release (without entry) for instruments of international traffic must have a Type 3a Instruments of International Traffic bond and must have an application approved by the CBP Port Director. In order to transmit the empty container bill type and request release without entry for IIT, the IMPORTER must comply with the CBP regulations at 19 CFR 10.41a and 19 CFR 113.66. Where the IIT is completely empty and the carrier is requesting release under the CBP regulations at 19 CFR 10.41a, the principal on the type 3A CBP bond must be the applicant for release of the holder or container designated as IIT. In cases where the empty container bill type is used, the carrier transmitting the information is the importer.

Advance electronic cargo information for carrier-owned/leased IIT must be received by CBP via Vessel AMS no later than 24 hours prior to vessel arrival at the first U.S. port. Advance electronic cargo information for shipper/consignee-owned or shipper/consignee-leased IIT must be transmitted in the same manner as information for any other revenue shipment and the transmission time frames (no later than 24 hours prior to loading in the foreign port) for revenue shipments apply.
