Simplification of shipping customs procedures: reduced hardcopy demands and streamlined transhipment permissions to speed clearance. The Board limits physical Import General Manifest submissions to two hard copies where electronic IGM exists, requires only one hard copy of the Sub Manifest Transhipment Permit except for amendment needs, allows steamer agents to use a continuity bond (and merge guarantees) to replace repeated bonds, and removes the need for separate permission upon change of transport mode for transhipment provided the carrier intimates the change and the bond covers both modes.
