As mentioned in our blog post of November 14, US Customs was seeking applicants to participate in a simplified entry pilot for the air mode of transportation, a key priority of the agency. Of the 40 applications submitted, CBP has selected 9 participants, and is in the process of notifying them.
Customs’ next step is to hold a meeting of all participants to discuss implementation, and will announce via CSMS message when the pilot will begin.
CBP’s update notice is available here.
