JALCARGO Procedure for CBP New Rule
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your support of JALCARGO.
As you may know, the United States Bureau of Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a new rule mandating
the advance presentation of all cargo data loaded on
aircraft bound for the U.S. This rule will be phased
in as from August 13, 2004. (Please refer to U.S. Public
Bulletin 19CFR Part4, 103, et al.)
A complete set of information not only at the Master
air waybill level but also House air waybill level will
have to be presented to CBP no later than 4 hours prior
to the arrival of the aircraft at the first port of
entry in the United-States. The house air waybill information
will have to be transmitted either by the forwarder
or the air carrier.
If the advance cargo information is not properly presented
to CBP (information is not acurate or presentation is
delayed), the rule carries penalties such as a fine
of USD 5,000 for each regulation violated, permission
to unlade all or part of the cargo will be denied or
delayed, and furthermore, landing rights may be denied
to an incoming air carrier.
In order to comply with the regulation, it is essential
for JALCARGO to obtain the accurate information of the
shipment and JALCARGO has decided to take the following
measures. From the point of securing safe and smooth
distribution, we would appreciate your understanding
and cooperation as regards this matter.
*Official instructions (details) will be announced
by each local JAL station.
