CBP expands electronic truck manifest to two more port clusters
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it’s expanded its electronic truck manifest program to port clusters in Arizona and North Dakota.
The test of the program commenced in Blaine, Wash., in December 2004. Other Washington state land-border ports were added to the program by CBP in late May.
In a July 29 Federal Register notice, CBP said it has recently implemented the electronic truck manifest test at the Arizona land-border ports of Douglas, Naco, Lukeville, Sasabe, and Nogales. Douglas will be “model port for this cluster,” CBP said.
The electronic truck manifest program will include a cluster of North Dakota land-border ports on Aug. 15. The ports are Pembina, Neche, Noyes, Walhalla, Maida, Hannah, Sarles and Hansboro. Pembina will serve as the central port for the program in North Dakota.
The U.S. Transportation Department’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration serves a partner agency with CBP in the electronic truck manifest rollout.
