Title: ●Customs Broker Recordkeeping Requirements Regarding Location and Method of Record Retention | |
Abstract: Amendment of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations regarding the customs broker recordkeeping requirements as they pertain to the location and method of record retention. Proposed changes to permit a licensed customs broker to store records relating to his customs transactions at any location within the customs territory of the United States, so long as the broker's designated recordkeeping contact, identified in the broker's permit application, makes all records available to CBP within a reasonable period of time from request at the broker district that covers the CBP port to which the records relate. It is also proposed to remove the requirement, as it currently applies to brokers, that certain entry records must be retained in its original format for the 120-day period after the release or conditional release of imported merchandise. The amendments are intended to conform CBP's recordkeeping requirements to reflect modern business practices whereby documents are often generated, stored and transmitted in an electronic format. The amendments will serve to remove duplicative recordkeeping requirements and streamline recordkeeping procedures for brokers without compromising the agency's ability to monitor and enforce recordkeeping compliance. | |
