CBP to Open Entry Summary Pilot to Type 51, 52 Entries

CBP will open up its Automated Commercial Environment entry summary pilot to type 51 entries (merchandise imported by the Defense Contract Management Command (DCMAO NY) Military Only) and type 52 entries (government-dutiable – other than Defense Contract Management Command (DCMAO)), it said in a notice (here). Brokers and importers that use ACE will be able to electronically file an ACE entry summary for the release of entry type 51 and 52 cargo, in the air, ocean, rail, and truck modes of transportation as well as for mail, pedestrian, and passenger (hand-carried) modes of transportation, it said. The same eligibility requirements apply as those for entry types 01, 03 and 11, which are already part of CBP’s entry summary test. Brokers and importers seeking to participate should contact their CBP client representatives, or otherwise email Steven Zaccaro at steven.j.zaccaro@cbp.dhs.gov.
