CBP Updates Guidance for Used Vehicle Exports to Puerto Rico
CBP released updated guidance this week for exporters of certain used vehicles from the U.S. to Puerto Rico, stressing that even though those shipments don’t constitute an export, companies must still file certain Electronic Export Information in the Automated Export System “for all used self-propelled vehicles.” CBP also said exporters must include the vehicle identification number or product identification number in the EEI and added that “used self-propelled vehicles shipped from the United States to Puerto Rico or from Puerto Rico to the United States are not exempt from being inspected.”

The updated guidance comes more than three years after CBP ruled those shipments don’t qualify as an export because Puerto Rico is not a foreign country (see 2108240078).
