91 FR 16011

Addition of Preclearance Facility at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

This document announces that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has opened an additional preclearance facility in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Preclearance operations allow CBP to inspect and admit travelers and their goods to the United States prior to boarding in a foreign location, creating opportunities for increased security and efficiency. Preclearance enables travelers and their baggage to complete immigration, customs, and agriculture inspections by CBP officers and specialists in a foreign location before boarding a direct flight to the United States, generally eliminating the need for additional CBP (or other U.S. agency) processing or security screening upon arrival.

Electronic Bond Transmission

Electronic Export Manifest for Vessel Cargo

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) proposes to amend its regulations to require the advance submission of electronic export manifest (EEM) information to CBP for cargo transported by vessel departing the United States. The proposed rule identifies the parties that would be eligible to transmit vessel EEM information and their responsibilities, and the time frames for transmission of the information prior to cargo loading or conveyance departure. Requiring advance transmission of EEM data would significantly improve cargo safety and security while minimizing disruption to the flow of commerce for exports in the sea environment.
