CBP regulations require that all cargo arriving on non-split conveyances not be entered with cargo from another non-split conveyance. This applies to the importing conveyance, and not, for example, to ships arriving into a foreign country such as Canada, and then split onto multiple trains.

For CBP purposes, each train is a unique consist, and cargo from one such train may not be entered on the same entry with cargo from another such train (trains are not considered to be split BOL's under the regulations). ACS did not enforce this regulatory requirement. However, ACE Cargo Release was coded to enforce this, and consequently any entry that has bills of lading from more than one importing conveyance will be rejected. Split air waybills will continue to be processed
