Quick Reference: What to do?
This is a quick, point-by-point reference to ensure your
organizations
compliance with Customs and Border Protection's General Order requirements.
When an inbond shipment arrives in your terminal, report the arrival
to Customs and Border Protection (as usual) and
make a note of the date fifteen days later
indicating when the shipment will
be eligible for General
Order. Be sure
to keep this date somewhere prominent, that you
can
check easily, so
you dont lose track.
Note: Customs and
Border Protection
regulations require that notification
of eligible merchandise be advised to
Customs and Border Protection and
the General Order proprietor not later than 20 days after
arrival at your terminal.
After the
fifteenth day after arrival in your terminal, if there is still
no Customs
release,
complete the arrival notification and fax the
notification, along with the
arriving
paperwork (bill of
lading and/or the
arriving inbond document) to Customs and Border Protection Portland ACS
Inspector and
to
Aladdin Transportation Inc.
Customs and Border
Protection ACS Inspector Fax: (503) 326-2893
Aladdin Transportation Inc. Fax: (360) 750-4829
Upon your
notification Aladdin Transportation will complete the CF6043
Permit to Transfer
for
submission to Customs and Border Protection and processing.
If
Customs and Border Protection determines that the shipment is appropriate for
transfer to the
General Order
warehouse, Aladdin Transportation Inc. will
arrange for the pick up at your
warehouse. If applicable,
please contact the
N.V.O.C.C. or other carrier to obtain their CF3485 Lien
Notice (covering any
collect freight charges and to advise them for resolution of any steamship
release issues). Also,
please prepare the charges for your lien notice.
When our driver arrives to collect the shipment, please either give
them copies
of the relative
documents and any notes you have regarding
your attempts to contact the
consignee or their customs
broker, or fax
these documents to our office. We will need to collect the
terminals
signature, as delivering
proprietor. We will leave a copy of the processed
CF6043 for your records (the
original CF6043 is required
to remain in
our possession).
If your lien notice or any other related carrier is not already
prepared
or submitted to our office when
the shipment is collected, please ensure to
fax the lien notices to our office
at your earliest opportunity.
