Closing of Centralized Examination Station in Charlotte NC
The Centralized Examination Station (CES) located at 1430-G West Pointe Drive, Charlotte NC will be closed after Friday April 27, 2012. The announcement for applications to operate a CES in Charlotte for the next five-year period will be issued in the near future. The Area Port of Charlotte will not have a CES until a new contract is signed.
From April 30, 2012 until a new Centralized Examination Station (CES) is selected, cargo will be examined at the FIRMS code location indicated on the CBP 3461 Entry/Immediate Delivery. If you would like your cargo examined at a location OTHER than the site listed on the 3461, you will need to bring a Delivery Ticket or a Permit to Transfer to the Port Office at 1901 Cross Beam Drive, Charlotte NC. Permits to Transfer will also be accepted by fax at 704-329-6144.
The exam facility must be within a reasonable distance from the Port Office and the facility must have the ability, staffing, equipment and space to completely strip, open and present freight for exam; and to repack the freight after exam. If the cargo is not ready for exam when the Officer arrives, he/she will leave and return after the freight has been made ready.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this issue, please contact Assistant Area Port Director Jennifer Jameson at 704-329-6119.
