Entry Type 86
Entry type 86 is an enfirmal entry type for low-valued shipments through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The Type 86 Test allows low value shipments to benefit from the Section 321 de minimis entry process. Type 86 is considered customs business, and entries regulated by partner government agencies must be entered under Type 86 to benefit from the de minimis duty exemption.

After its bid for a preliminary injunction was denied by Court of International Trade Judge Claire Kelly (see 2407260045), a customs broker fought Aug. 5 against a motion to dismiss its case, saying its complaint was ripe for litigation because CBP had already made the decision to deny its reinstatement to the agency's Entry Type 86 pilot (Seko Customs Brokerage v. United States, CIT # 24-00097).
The Court of International Trade denied Seko Customs Brokerage's bids for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against its temporary suspension from the Entry Type 86 Test and Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism programs. Judge Claire Kelly found Seko already received all the relief it sought when it was conditionally reinstated into the programs and told why it was originally suspended.
The Court of International Trade in a July 15 decision made public July 26 denied customs broker Seko Customs Brokerage's application for a temporary restraining order and motion for a preliminary injunction against its temporary suspension from the Entry Type 86 pilot and the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism. Judge Claire Kelly said Seko's claims are "either moot or speculative" because it has been "conditionally reinstated" into the programs and has received a "detailed explanation" of its violation of the programs. The judge added that Seko's evidence refers to "speculative harm at best," and that harm to its reputation as a result of the suspensions isn't enough to warrant injunctive relief.
The Court of International Trade in a confidential July 15 order denied customs broker Seko Customs Brokerage's application for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against CBP's temporary suspension of the company from the Entry Type 86 pilot and the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program.

U.S., CIT # 24-00097).
