The Federal Register on Wednesday August 13th
announced the withdrawal of a proposed rule that would have
allowed non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOs) who
"electronically transmit vessel cargo manifest information
directly to CBP 24 hours before cargo is laden" to
request confidential treatment of the information manifested.
Customs notes "a clear lack of consensus on the part of the
trade community regarding the value of the proposed
amendment" as a reason for its withdrawal.
Under the Tariff Act of 1930, importers can request from Customs confidential
treatment of its data. The proposed rule would have allowed
NVOs to make that request.
