1 Reject from CBP on 7512s
The IT date used on the left side of your 7512
must be the actual arrival date of the shipment.
Do not use the carriers IT date. What does this
mean? Lets discuss it. See pipeline 04-34
paragraph 6 dated December 8, 2004 Brokers
should not arrange for pick-up based on a
paperless release or perforated copy of an entry
if the carrier has not transmitted their AMS
data. CBP is concerned with instances in which
filers transmit a date of arrival prior to the
actual date of arrival. Filers should exercise
reasonable care in order to ensure this
information is accurate. In the case of rail
shipments, the IT date is rarely, if ever,
the estimated date of arrival into the U.S. The
carrier usually provides the filer (or notify
party) with an estimated date of arrival into the
U.S. If the carrier does not provide this
information, contact the carrier and request it.
In addition, most containerized freight imported
by rail can be tracked via the rail carriers
websites. With regard to air shipments, it is
understood that in many cases the carrier is
unable to fit the merchandise on the plane,
resulting in split shipments. However, in almost
all cases, as least some of the merchandise
arrives on the original ETA. Hence, there should
be very few instances of entries transmitted with
incorrect ETAs. CBP has begun tracking entries
that are incorrectly prefiled. Filers who
continually transmit incorrect estimated dates of
arrival may face corrective action,
including penalties for failure to use reasonable
care, negligence or fraud, depending upon how
egregious the violation.
