CSMS # 60069598 - Guidance for Unanticipated Cargo Diversion

In relation to unanticipated cargo diversions, the port of entry cannot be changed in an entry that has been accepted by CBP. The initial entry summary must be cancelled by CBP and the broker will need to file a new entry at the newly designated port where the diverted shipment will be delivered. Brokers and Importers will need to upload a letter to DIS that states the new entry is a duplicate due to unanticipated cargo diversion. The Centers of Excellence and Expertise will then cancel the initial entry. Guidance regarding port code changes for entry summary in trade control are found on Page 36 of the ACE Cargo Release Implementation Guide.
