Official abstract

On March 15, 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published in the Federal Register an Interim Final Rule, which amends the CBP regulations to provide for mandatory advance electronic data (AED) for international mail shipments. That document inadvertently misnumbered the regulatory text listing the circumstances when AED is not required for international mail shipments and made a typographical error in the authority citation.
