DIS will now continue accepting submissions of “Form 1302A Cargo Declaration - Outward With Commercial Forms” through Oct. 1, CBP said, six months beyond the scheduled April 1 deadline. The agency has delayed the deadline multiple times (see 2409230009, 2209200080 and 2303130012).
The agency also said it created a new document label code, "CBP168." Along with Form 1302A, CBP said "filers must use the new document code (CBP168) to submit the .xls Supplemental Manifest Document to CBP via DIS."
CBP said it's continuing to see "increased participation" in EEM, and the extension will give users more time to “adequately program and test with their assigned CBP Client Representatives." Traders "currently programming and testing should work towards transitioning over to submitting 100% EEM prior to October 1, 2025."
