Directives and Pipelines

#1 Reject from CBP on 7512’sThe IT date used on the left side of your 7512 must be the actual arrival date of the shipment. Do not use the carriers IT date.

What does this mean? Let’s discuss it.

See pipeline 04-34 paragraph 6 dated December 8, 2004

Brokers should not arrange for pick-up based on a paperless release or perforated copyof an entry if the carrier has not transmitted their AMS data. CBP is concerned with instances in which filers transmit a date of arrival prior to the actual date of arrival. Filers should exercise reasonable care in order to ensure this information is accurate. In the case of rail shipments, the IT date is rarely, if ever, theestimated date of arrival into the U.S. The carrier usually provides the filer (or notify party) with an estimated date of arrival into the U.S. If the carrier does not provide this information, contact the carrier and request it. In addition, most containerized freight imported by rail can be tracked via the rail carriers’ websites. With regard to air shipments, it is understood that in many cases the carrier is unable to fit themerchandise on the plane, resulting in split shipments. However, in almost all cases, asleast some of the merchandise arrives on the original ETA. Hence, there should be very few instances of entries transmitted with incorrect ETAs.

CBP has begun tracking entries that are incorrectly prefiled. Filers who continually transmit incorrect estimated dates of arrival may face corrective action, includingpenalties for failure to use reasonable care, negligence or fraud, depending upon how egregious the violation.
