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 their restraint limit or have filled their in-quota (low) rate. The list is divided into two sections: those that are at least 85% filled and those that are filled.

CBP has issued a CSMS message stating that the number of rows available when running an Authorized Data Extract report increased from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 rows effective August 1, 2010. The data is returned in a raw data format and will need to be saved in an “Excel” or “CSV” format for data manipulation. An Authorized Data Extract report should be used when the data requested in one report exceeds the current data quantity limitation of 65,000 rows. CBP notes that only the Trade Account Owner or the Proxy Trade Account Owner can schedule the Authorized Data Extract reports. Authorized Data Extracts will be returned to the “inbox.” The "Create Date Begin and End," which defaults to 01/01/2006 01/01/2007, needs to be changed before scheduling the extract. For extract of 1,000,000 rows or larger, CBP recommends opening them during non-peak hours.
