The news release, issued May 31, didn't specify when those suspensions began, or how long they will last. It said, "Any broker that has been suspended will be considered for reinstatement if it demonstrates to CBP that it has developed and implemented a remedial action plan." It also didn't say how many of the more than 450 firms that participate in the Type 86 pilot were suspended.
All Type 86 entries are supposed to be valued at less than $800 per customer, per day. The Type 86 entry process allows goods that need oversight from partner government agencies to receive electronic clearance; the Section 321 data pilot doesn't allow PGA goods.
