1. "Pending Release" ISF Transaction Sets Become Effective July 1st

(CBP previously posted "pending release" versions of seven existing ISF transaction sets and delayed their implementation due to trade requests. See ITT's Online Archives or 05/12/09 news, 09051210, for BP summary announcing the delay.)

The changes will be implemented during the scheduled ACS maintenance outage (between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.) and will be available in both the Production and the Certification (ProdCert) regions.

CBP has issued a CSMS message stating that effective immediately, filers should use port code 2835 to file all entries for the Port of Sacramento International Airport.

CBP has posted an updated version of its TRQ/TPL "threshold to fill" list, a quick reference to monitor TRQs and TPLs that are approaching the restraint limit or have filled the in-quota (low) rate. The list is divided into two sections - those that are at least 85% filled and those that are closed.
