The GBI initiative is an interagency project that aims to test and develop a single business identifier solution so CBP and partner government agencies (PGA) can achieve better visibility into the supply chain to benefit trade facilitation and trade security. Under the EPoC test, CBP will evaluate three entity identifiers that capture additional information about trade entities and supply chain locations associated with U.S. imports. Companies that elect to participate in the EPoC test will provide data for each of the three entity identifiers through ACE. The test is voluntary, and a select number of trade user volunteers will be chosen to participate in the GBI EPoC to test the single identifier solution. Participating in the test will provide trade community members with the opportunity to test the optimal combination of entity identifiers and provide to CBP feedback on the GBI EPoC design and scope. The transmission o f GBI data only applies to current ABI participants. For more information about the GBI EPoC , please review the information notice . For questions, please contact GBI@cbp.dhs.gov .
