ACE e-Manifest/Trade Act Enforcement PlanEnforcement discretion will take place in the following phases:
Phase 1 –CBP will begin to exercise enforcement discretion in the form of informed compliance for at least 60 days. That period may be extended based on system performance issues and operational readiness. During this period CBP officers working in primary lanes will be handing out an informed compliance notice to the driver of any conveyance that fails to meet the e-Manifest requirement.Phase 2 –CBP will deny a permit to proceed into the U.S. to any carrier required to submit an e-Manifest which arrives without submitting or attempting to submit an e-Manifest. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers may accept the ACE e-Manifest cover sheet as initial proof of this attempt.
5Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
ACE e-Manifest/Trade Act Enforcement PlanPhase 3: Continuing as ongoing Trade Act enforcement, CBP will deny a permit to proceed into the U.S. for any truck required tosubmit an e-Manifest that arrives at one of the ports covered under this memorandum without first successfully transmitting an e-Manifest for that trip. For egregious violations, a monetary penalty ($5,000 for the first offence and $10,000 for subsequent offences), may be issued to the driver in care of the carrier under 19 USC 1436. Egregious violators are defined as those carriers that make no attempt to comply with the requirements.
Additional Phases: Once CBP achieves substantial compliance with the requirements to file manifests, additional phases will be announced for enforcement of other Trade Act elements including timeliness of submission, accuracy of data and completeness of manifests.

These shipment types are not currently able to be reported on an e-Manifest and are therefore not required even when an e-Manifest has been filed.
Shipments consisting solely of Instruments of International Traffic (IIT) eligible for release under 19 CFR 10.41(a). IIT can be reported on an e-Manifest as associated to a conveyance or shipment but cannot be used as a shipment release type.International mail shipments moving via a contract carrier from a foreign postal service to the US Postal Service.Carnets.A delivery ticket (CBPF 6043) for movement to a CBP bonded warehouse or a direct Foreign Trade Zone admission on a CBPF 214.Shipments imported for the Department of Defense using 19 CFR 10.102/103 as a release mechanism.

Broker and Carrier CommunicationsIt is imperative that brokers and carriers communicate in order
to coordinate the entry and manifest
A Customs entry must properly reference the corresponding manifest shipment record or records
What is called a Shipment Control Number (SCN) on the manifest must correspond with the Customs entry master bill of lading
On the northern border, this number is usually the carrier’s Standard Alpha Carrier Code (SCAC) plus the pro-bill numberOn the southern border, this number is usually the carrier’s SCAC plus the Customs entry number. Must include broker’s Filer codeToday this number is often referred to as the PAPS numberThis number must be unique, must start with a valid SCAC, must be the same between entry declaration and manifest shipment declaration

Truck Safety InspectionsThe e-Manifest will be used by ACE to screen carriers for truck safety issues
The ACE truck safety check will interface with FMCSA databases to determine the compliance level of carriers, drivers and conveyances (trucks). These are the same databases utilized by Federal and State truck safety inspectors
Delays will be minimized because checks will be performed priorto arrival at the intended port of entry
Carriers and brokers will benefit from ACE’s pre-arrival notice of truck safety related issues prior to arrival at a port of entry
Brokers will benefit from knowing that delays due to truck safety inspections will be minimized because they have chosen to usecompliant carriers, drivers, and trucks
18Presenter’s Name June 17, 2003
Truck Safety InspectionsACE will utilize key pieces of information from an e-Manifest to perform truck safety compliance checks on carriers, drivers and conveyances (trucks)
These truck safety checks will include (but are not limited to) authority to operate in the U.S., commercial drivers license verification, and out-of-service orders for carrier, drivers and trucks
Some of the key pieces of e-Manifest information to be used in a truck safety check include the carrier’s DOT#, the driver’s commercial driver license number, and the trucks license plate number and license plate state of issuance
If a carrier is uncertain whether they need a DOT# or need information on how to obtain a DOT#, they should contact the FMCSA
