CSMS # 62296588 - UPDATE: Deadline Extended for Submitting CBP Form 1302A Cargo Declaration via ACE Document Image System (DIS) U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 09/18/2024 02:31 PM EDT CSMS # 62296588 - UPDATE: Deadline Extended for Submitting CBP Form 1302A Cargo Declaration via ACE Document Image System (DIS) Update to CSMS 57754622. Due to increased trade participation in the ACE Electronic Export Manifest (EEM) pilot, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is delaying the deadline for use of the Document Image System (DIS) as a method to submit the CBP Form 1302A Cargo Declaration. The new deadline is April 1, 2025. This extension is intended to provide additional time for effected trade participants to adequately program and test with their assigned CBP Client Representatives. Trade participants currently programming and testing should work towards transitioning over to submitting 100% EEM prior to April 1, 2025. CBP plans to announce in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) that will mandate the submission of the EEM. After the announcement, CBP will move to disallow the DIS as an acceptable means to submit the export manifest i.e. CBP form 1302A and its associated documents. Submission of CBP Form 1302A will no longer be required in paper or via DIS once a carrier begins submitting all export manifests via EEM. Carriers currently submitting all export manifests via EEM are identified in Appendix P of the Electronic Export Manifest Implementation Guides . Interested carriers, non-vessel operators (NVO) and service providers should contact their respective CBP Client Representative for more information. CBP Field Offices and trade participants can also submit questions directly to the Outbound Enforcement and Policy Branch at cbpvesselexportmanifest@cbp.dhs.gov .
