Combining of shipments in one crate no longer allowed

This comes from the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection Website.

Consolidated Entries: Consolidated release and entry summary is used by shippers and importers for shipments that have multiple ultimate consignees arriving at the border in a single conveyance. The Ultimate Consignee for each portion of a consolidated entry that equals or exceeds $2,000 in value must be identified with an appropriate Ultimate Consignee identification number. If the Ultimate Consignee does not have an appropriate identification number, he/she must obtain one before his/her entry can be processed by CBP. If the Ultimate Consignee identification number is not provided at the time of entry or release, entry of the merchandise shall be denied.

For portions of a consolidated entry that are valued at less than $2,000, the Ultimate Consignee must at a minimum, be identified with the Ultimate Consignee’s name and address, but may also be identified with an appropriate Ultimate Consignee identification number if provided by the entry filer. If the Ultimate Consignee is not identified with either the name and address or an appropriate identification number at the time of entry or release, entry of the merchandise shall be denied.

Due to ACS system limitations that allow for the submission of a single ultimate consignee, release of consolidated entries will not be granted from entry summary information. Filers must file entry using CBP 3461 (or CBP 3461 ALT) information in ABI before submission of the entry summary. ACS data edits will be developed to enforce this requirement at a date to be announced.

These reporting requirements will become effective October 1, 2004. This memorandum will serve as interim policy guidance until the current directives can be modified. This will occur when programming resources allow for hard edits to prevent entry filers from identifying the Ultimate Consignee with methods that are not allowed under the new policy. Until hard edits can be implemented, Inspectors will be instructed to verify entry documentation to ensure that it conforms to the new Ultimate Consignee reporting policy. Entry filers that violate the new policy may be subject to the issuance of penalties for failure to exercise due diligence.
