CBP to Expand Electronic Export Ocean Manifest Pilot to Cover All East Coast Ports
CBP’s pilot test of electronic export ocean manifests (CBP Form 1302A) using the CBP Document Image System (DIS) will be expanded in mid-August to cover all East Coast ports, as well as the ports of Chicago, Buffalo, and Detroit, said Cynthia Allen of CBP’s ACE Business Office.
