Partnership Alternative 3: Unified Program Model
Combine C-TPAT and ISA into a single partnership program
Must meet security and trade compliance requirements
Note:
Implications with legislation / Mutual Recognition Agreements
Rejected by COAC

25
Partnership Recognition
Trusted partners demonstrate the highest levels of commitment to trade security and compliance by committing to controls which meet or exceed minimum standards and through program participation with CBP
Trusted partner defined as:
C-TPAT tier 2 or tier 3 participant;
ISA participant; and
meets its financial obligations with CBP
![Page 26: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Extended Partnership
COAC concept of single partnership
Create “certification” programs with OGAs to facilitate release
in conjunction with partnership criteria
Enhance coordination between CBP and OGAs that can
impact release of merchandise subject to OGA requirements
![Page 27: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Management By Account
Simplified Entry Process
![Page 29: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Simplified Entry Processing Goals
Reduce volume and redundancy of data transmissions
Reduce post entry queries and amendments
Enable statement-based processing for entry summaries and payments
Enable CBP to focus resources on higher risks
![Page 30: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Concepts Under Review
Unified / Concurrent Importer Security Filing (ISA) and Entry Filing
Perform cargo selectivity sooner in the process to provide an earlier cargo examination / clearance notification
Periodic Entry Summary
Use of Import Activity Summary Statement (IASS) to allow trusted partners to file entry summary data on a periodic basis (reference 19 USC 1484).
Pre-Filed / Forecasted Information
Account based releases utilizing pre-filed or “forecasted” information, with minimal data at cargo release and all remaining data at entry summary
![Page 31: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Periodic Entry Summary Concepts
Participation by ISA trusted partners
Entry summary for single importer of record based on common data elements
Proposed due date – ten days after the last release in the specified time period (supported by Census)
Each line would represent shipments released in the period with common data elements (Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), country of origin, manufacturer, surety, etc)
No change to entry summary data elements currently required
![Page 32: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

36
Stale ChecksProposal: CBP receives notice from the Department of Treasury when refund
checks have not been cashed by members of the Trade within 15 months of the check issue date. These are generally referred to as stale checks.

Outcome: CBP will be able to get undeliverable refunds to the correct companies
Reduces letters being mailed to the trade
Establishes one single source for the trade to look for missing refunds
Improves service to the Trade by providing them with web-based access to unclaimed refund payments
Eliminates the need for CBP to search for information related to the importer of record
![Page 37: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37

![Page 38: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Electronic Periodic eBilling
Proposal: Initiate eBilling Electronic periodic statements for supplemental duty
bills issued to trade Payments to CBP made via ACH or possibly credit
card Expand to estimated duties and refunds
Outcome: Trade will obtain a comprehensive electronic bill that can be paid via ACH/credit card

![Page 39: Steven R. Graham International Trade Liaison Trade Relations Office of the Commissioner, CBP U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Management By Account.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649cab5503460f9496c385/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Expanded Periodic Statement
Proposal: Extend the number of days in which importers must pay estimated duties by requiring payment with 30 calendar days following the month in which the merchandise is entered.
