Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Entry/Immediate Delivery Application and ACE Cargo Release.
OMB Number: 1651-0024.
Form Number: CBP Forms 3461 and 3461 ALT.
Current Actions: Revision.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: All items imported into the United States are subject to
examination before entering the commerce of the United States. There
are two procedures available to effect the release of imported
merchandise, including ``entry'' pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1484, and
``immediate delivery'' pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1448(b). Under both
procedures, CBP Forms 3461, Entry/Immediate Delivery, and 3461 ALT are
the source documents in the packages presented to Customs and Border
Protection (CBP). The information collected on CBP Forms 3461 and 3461
ALT allow CBP officers to verify that the information regarding the
consignee and shipment is correct and that a bond is on file with CBP.
CBP also uses these forms to close out the manifest and to establish
the obligation to pay estimated duties in the time period prescribed by
law or regulation. CBP Form 3461 is also a delivery authorization
document and is given to the importing carrier to authorize the release
of the merchandise.
CBP Forms 3461 and 3461 ALT are provided for by 19 CFR 142.3,
142.16, 141.22, and 141.24. The forms and instructions for Form 3461
are accessible at: <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=3461&=Apply">https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=3461&=Apply</a>.
Ace Cargo Release (formerly referred to as ``Simplified Entry'') is
a program for ACE entry summary filers in which importers or brokers
may file ACE Cargo Release data in lieu of filing the CBP Form 3461.
This data consists of 12 required elements: Importer of record; buyer
name and address; buyer employer identification number (consignee
number), seller name and address; manufacturer/supplier name and
address; Harmonized Tariff Schedule 10-digit number; country of origin;
bill of lading; house air waybill number; bill of lading issuer code;
entry number; entry type; and estimated shipment value. The four
optional data elements are: The container stuffing location,
consolidator name and address, ship to party name and address, and the
three Global Business Identifier (GBI) identifiers: (20-Digit Legal
Entity Identifier (LEI), 9-digit Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS),
[[Page 55629]]
and 13-digit Global Local Number (GLN)) for the entry filer and the
manufacturer/producer, seller and shipper, and optionally, for the
exporter, distributor and packager. The GBI identifiers are the new
optional data elements that are being collected to better identify the
legal entity that is interacting with CBP. The data collected under the
ACE Cargo Release program is intended to reduce transaction costs,
expedite cargo release, and enhance cargo security. ACE Cargo Release
filing minimizes the redundancy of data submitted by the filer to CBP
through receiving carrier data from the carrier. This design allows the
participants to file earlier in the transportation flow. Guidance on
using ACE Cargo Release may be found at <a href="http://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/features">http://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/features</a>.
It should be noted that ACE Cargo Release was previously called
Simplified Entry.
