Background: eFiling will make the importation process more agile. It will become mandatory.
Scope: The requirement will affect most imported consumer products, taking effect 18 months after publication in the Federal Register. For consumer products imported into a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) and then entered for consumption or warehousing, a 24-month effective date will apply. The final rule is effective on January 8 2027
How to Comply
Our Recommendation: We advise participating in the voluntary stage of filing. During this webinar, we will explain how to do so effectively.
