UPS was one of only nine selected by CBP to participate in the Pilot. Simplified Entry streamlines the release of goods and enhances cargo security. It segregates the filing of the transportation information from the filing of the entry information. This allows for the earlier filing of entry information which will in turn allow CBP personnel to apply more time and resources as part of its risk-segmented approach in identifying high-risk shipments while potentially reducing transaction costs for the trade community. The capability for filers to update information will result in more accurate data for CBP and Participating Government Agencies.
