CBP Issues FAQs on Truck Advanced Manifest Requirements
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a document containing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) describing the truck advanced manifest requirements under the Trade Act of 2002 that will be phased-in starting on November 15, 2004. The FAQs state that for a period of time (exact dates to be announced later) all non-compliant trucks will be informed of their non-compliance with CBP regulations and receive guidance on complying with the new regulations. After the initial period of informed compliance trucks may be denied entry or unlading privileges and may be returned to their country of origin and carriers and other providers of information may be subject to penalty action under current regulation governing information submission to CBP.
The list of FAQs can be found at the following link (this is a MS-Word document):
