DHS/USCBP RIN: 1651-AA89 Publication ID: Fall 2013 
Title: Exemption From Entry Requirements for Certain Department of Defense Vessels and Aircraft 
Abstract: Under current regulations, certain vessels and aircraft owned or chartered by the Department of Defense (DoD) are exempt from entry requirements and, in some cases, reporting requirements upon their arrival in the United States from a foreign place. The exemptions generally apply when the vessel or aircraft is transporting cargo that is solely the property of the DoD or when it is transporting passengers traveling on official business of the United States. This rule would revise the criteria for applying these exemptions to better address the manner in which the DoD moves cargo and passengers in support of its missions. Under the rule, CBP is considering whether to revise the entry exemption to make it apply to certain DoD-owned or chartered vessels and aircraft carrying cargo and/or passengers approved for carriage in the Defense Transportation System (DTS), the secure system used by DoD to move cargo and passengers in support of DoD's missions. Additionally, CBP is considering whether certain DoD-owned vessels that are transporting only passengers and/or cargo approved for carriage in the DTS should also be exempt from reporting their arrival.
