CBP Makes Additional Change to Ultimate Consignee Reporting Policy
CBP has made an additional policy change to the new requirements that were instituted at ports of entry on October 1, 2004 to correct weaknesses in the current CBP policy pertaining to the identification of the ultimate consignee at the time of entry or release. Effective January 1, 2005, CBP will disallows the transmission of "certified from summary" consolidated entries. Details about CBP's ultimate consignee reporting policy can be found at the following link: www.customs.gov/xp/cgov/import/cargo_summary/ult_consignee.xml.
