Remote Location Filing in the US
2010 January 18
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Department of the Treasury adopted proposed amendments as a final rule to title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations regarding Remote Location Filing (RLF) on December 29, 2009.
RLF allows US importers to centralize functions both internally and externally with their brokers. Filing entries electronically via RLF means that a local presence is not required at each port.
Zone operators have looked for clarification regarding the use of RLF filing 06 entries for many years. The good news is that the final rule from CBP indicates that RLF will be available for all entry types. Filing of each type is made available in ACE. This rule goes into effect on January 29, 2010.
