In an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) published in the Federal Register, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking comments on potential new requirements related to supply chain traceability and collecting foreign export documentation.

CBP is proposing to mandate the submission of foreign export documentation that could include export declarations, commercial documents, certificates of origin, export licenses or transport documents that could be “helpful to CBP in verifying and reconciling entry and entry summary information.

CBP is also requesting feedback on how it could expand its Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program and benefits for participants. CBP is particularly looking for feedback on how CTPAT partners use supply chain traceability solutions and how accessible that information should be to the agency.

In addition, CBP are soliciting comments regarding Manufacturer Identification Codes (MIDs) and the Global Business Identifiers (GBIs) test program.

These proposed rules are in response to the “Strengthening Customs Enforcement” Executive Order (EO)14411, signed by President Trump on June 3, 2026.

Comments are being accepted by CBP on or before December 1, 2026, via the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
