CBP Fact Sheet Details National Permit Transition Process After Part 111 Rule
CBP provided more details on the transition to national permits once its final rule amending its Part 111 customs broker regulations takes effect, in a fact sheet released June 23. The fact sheet, which details the Part 111 changes proposed in June 2020 (see 2006040037), says that about 400 brokers currently are still operating without a national permit, despite the likely elimination of district permits in the upcoming final rule. CBP will “transition this pool of brokers to a national permit” between publication of the final rule and its effective date, with district permits remaining active until the final rule takes effect and ACE national permit programming is in place, the fact sheet said.

CBP will use a broker’s current district permit information to create the national permit, it said. Transitioned brokers will be notified, and given an opportunity to update address and permit qualifier information. “Brokers with existing national permits will continue to operate as normal and are not affected by this transition,” the fact sheet said.
