New Guidelines for Import Manifest Amendments: Swift Processing, No Penalties for Honest Errors, Flat Fees Applied.
The circular addresses the procedures for handling delayed, incomplete, or incorrect filing of Import Manifests or Import Reports. It emphasizes the distinction between major and minor amendments, with minor amendments to be processed swiftly on the same day and major amendments within 24 hours. Amendments should be handled administratively without penalties unless fraudulent intent is involved. A flat fee is set for amendments, with no fee for amendments necessitated by changes in import manifests. The responsibility for amendments lies with the Shipping Line or Agent, and penalties, if any, are their responsibility. Requests for amendments must be submitted by authorized individuals.
