Abstract:
Import Vessel Manifest:
CBP Form 1302:
The master or commander of a vessel arriving in the United States from abroad with cargo on board must file CBP Form 1302,
Inward Cargo Declaration,
or submit the information on this form using a CBP-approved electronic equivalent. CBP Form 1302 is part of the manifest requirements for vessels entering the United States and was agreed upon by treaty at the United Nations Inter-government Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO). This form and/or electronic equivalent, is provided for by 19 CFR 4.5, 4.7, 4.7a, 4.8, 4.33, 4.34, 4.38. 4.84, 4.85, 4.86, 4.91, 4.93 and 4.99 and is accessible at:
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=1302.
Although the form has been mostly automated through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), there are still circumstances where a paper CBP form 1302 is required due to not being captured in ACE; Such as the data elements for equipment of the vessel which is intended for discharge or empty containers being transported coastwise. CBP is working to automate the remaining use cases of the CBP form 1302 through the Vessel Entrance and Clearance System (VECS). Some data elements may be collected via the Electronic Notice of Arrival/Departure (eNOAD), however, the eNOAD system does not have all of the data elements on CBP Form 1302. This form is not required to be submitted in hard copy for cargo brought to the United States with the intent to import and/or carry onboard in trade but is required for ship's equipment which is intended for discharge.
CBP Form 7533:
The master or person in charge of a conveyance files CBP Form 7533,
INWARD CARGO MANIFEST FOR VESSEL UNDER FIVE TONS, FERRY, TRAIN, CAR, VEHICLE, ETC,
which is required for a vehicle or a vessel of less than 5 net tons arriving in the United States from Canada or Mexico, otherwise than by sea, with baggage or merchandise. Respondents may also submit the information on this form using a CBP-approved electronic equivalent. CBP Form 7533, and/or electronic equivalent, is provided for by 19 CFR 123.4, 123.7, 123.61, 123.91, and 123.92, and is accessible at:
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title_1=7533.
Vessel Stow Plan:
For all vessels transporting containerized goods to the US the incoming carrier is required to electronically submit a vessel stow plan no later than 48 hours after the vessel departs from the last foreign port that includes information about the vessel and cargo. For voyages less than 48 hours in duration, CBP must receive the vessel stow plan prior to arrival at the first port in the United States. The vessel stow plan is provided for by 19 CFR 4.7c.
Container Status Messages (CSMs):
For all containers destined to arrive within the limits of a U.S. port from a foreign port by vessel, the incoming carrier must submit messages regarding the status of events if the carrier creates or collects a container status message (CSM) in its equipment tracking system reporting that event. CSMs must be transmitted to CBP via a CBP-approved electronic data interchange system. These messages transmit information regarding events such as the status of a container (full or empty); booking a container destined to arrive in the United States; loading or unloading a container from a vessel; and a container arriving or departing the United States. CSMs are provided for by 19 CFR 4.7d.
Importer Security Filing (ISF):
For most cargo arriving in the United States by vessel, the importer, or its authorized agent, must submit the data elements listed in 19 CFR 149.3 via a CBP-approved electronic interchange system within prescribed time frames outlined in 19 CFR 149.2. Transmission of these data elements provide CBP with advanced information about the shipment.
Export Manifest and Electronic Export Manifest (pilots):
CBP Form 1302A:
The master or commander of a vessel departing from the United States must file CBP Form 1302A,

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title_1=1302A.
Electronic Ocean Export Manifest:
CBP began a pilot in 2015 to electronically collect the air export manifest information. The carrier or its agent or anyone with direct knowledge of the export manifest data to provide specific pre-departure export manifest data to CBP must provide electronic export manifest (EEM) data to CBP prior to the conveyance departing the final U.S. port of export. Any trade member can provide the 7+1 data elements identified by CBP as the initial filling at least 24 hours prior to the conveyance departing the final U.S. port of export. The remaining EEM data elements must be provided at least two hours prior to a conveyance departing a U.S. port of export. This advance information is transmitted to CBP via the ACE's Export Information System. This information is transmitted to CBP in advance via the ACE's Export Information System.
Electronic Air Export Manifest:
CBP began a pilot in 2015 to electronically collect the air export manifest information. The carrier or its agent or anyone with direct knowledge of the export manifest data to provide specific pre-departure export manifest data to CBP must provide electronic export manifest (EEM) data to CBP prior to the conveyance departing the final U.S. port of export. Any trade member can provide the 7+1 data elements identified by CBP as the initial filling at least 24 hours prior to the conveyance departing the final U.S. port of export.

Previously Approved Changes to ACAS:
Through the Enhanced ACAS interim final rule (IFR), CBP has amended its regulations to include additional data elements. The ACAS program enhances the security of flights carrying cargo into the United States by requiring the transmission of certain air cargo data and performing targeted risk assessments based on the transmitted data prior to an aircraft's departure for the United States. These risk assessments identify and prevent high-risk air cargo from being loaded onto an aircraft that could pose a risk to an aircraft during flight. In addition to the original ACAS data elements, Enhanced ACAS adds several mandatory and conditional data elements.
(5) Verified Known Consignor (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(6) Shipper email address (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(7) Shipper phone number (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(8) Customer account name (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(9) Customer account issuer (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(10) Customer account number (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(11) Customer account shipping frequency/volume (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(12) Customer account establishment date (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(13) Customer account billing type (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(14) Unmasked internet protocol (IP) address or media access control (MAC) address of the device used during account creation (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(15) Unmasked internet protocol (IP) address or media access control (MAC) address of the device used to initiate the shipping transaction and the unmasked IP address or MAC address of the device used to file the ACAS filing each time an ACAS filing is submitted (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(16) Shipping cost (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(17) Biographic data (conditional, mandatory in specific circumstances)
(18) Link to product listing and unmasked internet protocol (IP) address or media access control (MAC) address of the device used by the consignee to purchase the product (conditional, but mandatory in specific circumstances)
In tandem with the Enhanced ACAS interim final rule, CBP is also adding to the existing list of optional data elements that the public may provide at their discretion. CBP does not require trade members to provide this data.
The list of optional data elements consists of:
(1) Origin of Shipment
(2) Declared Value
(3) Harmonized Commodity Code (HTS-6 or HTS-10)
(4) Transaction Type (
e.g.,
B2B—business to business; B2C—business to consumer, etc.)
(5) Special Handling Type
(6) Customer Account Email Address
(7) Customer Account Phone Number
(8) Shipper Manufacturer Identification (MID) or Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) Number
(9) Consignee Importer of Record number (or similar number)
