In a Federal Register notice to be published on February 11, 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is issuing a final rule eliminating certain documentation requirements for goods imported from U.S. insular possessions, effective March 13, 2015.
The notice specifies that the final rule removes “the requirement that a customs official at the port of export verify and sign CBP Form 3229, Certificate of Origin for U.S. Insular Possessions, and to require only that the importer present this form, upon CBP’s request, rather than with each entry as is currently required.”
Importers need to continue to maintain and be able to produce CBP Form 3229 upon request.
