On July 20, 2017, CBP will make it mandatory for the trade to provide the Contact Name and Contact Phone information on the SE13 Record for all entries. This will assist the trade community and CBP in facilitating the movement of cargo during the inspection process as well as expedite the release process. Testing for this change is currently available in CERT. Changes to the CATAIR will be made at a later date, and additional messaging will be provided.
