CBP: Proposed Rule to Require Rail Export Manifests 24 Hours Before Departure
CBP: Proposed Rule to Require Rail Export Manifests 24 Hours Before Departure
January 24, 2025/
CBP published a notice of proposed rulemaking around submitting export manifest information to CBP for rail cargo leaving the US. Comments due by 3/14/2025.
Currently EEIs for rail cargo must be filed 2 hours prior to the rail cargo leaving the US for shipments over $2,500 per Schedule B, and not for shipments to Canada. That leaves some pretty large gaps in knowledge of what's being exported, and CBP wants carriers to send the export manifests over at least 24 hours before departure.
