To Our Customers: For good order's sake, we are advising you of the following information concerning new U.S. Customs procedures. The U.S. Customs has determined, to assist them to reduce/eliminate, terrorist acts against the United States of America. These instructions by U.S. Customs requests that all carriers, whether they be ocean carriers or non-operating ocean carriers (NVOCC) to provide the carrier with the following information. They want a copy of the commercial invoice, which must show the actual name of the shipper and the consignee (to the order or to the bank will not be acceptable), and a copy of the packing list showing the full details of the cargo. The commercial invoice must have a full clear description of the cargo, and the following will not be acceptable description, FAK, said to contain or pallets must state number of cartons. It is suggested that on your purchase order, to advise your suppliers, of the Harmonized Tariff Code Number, to put it on your purchase order so that the shippers can put it on their invoices in order that we can supply this to the carrier. This information must be supplied to the carrier, a minimum of 24 hours prior to the loading of the vessel. Some carriers may require longer lead time and as we receive such instructions, we will advise you accordingly. The carrier, under U.S. Customs regulations, is forbidden to load the cargo on board the vessel unless this information is supplied to U.S. Customs 24 hours before loading. While we can appreciate this will cause some delays and inconvenience to all parties concerned, we have to advise you this is not negotiable. This is the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. Time of discussion is over. If you require any additional information concerning the regulations, please feel free to contact us. Very truly yours, Frank V. Folise |

| U.S. CUSTOMS ADVANCE MANIFEST RULES |
|
U.S. Customs has published its final regulations requiring the filing of cargo manifests 24 hours prior to loading on ships overseas. "Terrorist organizations pose an immediate and substantial threat to the global trading system," said Customs Commissioner Robert C. Bonner in a statement today. "With this rule, Customs can better protect the American people and the global trading system as a whole from the threat of nuclear terror using sea containers." Since earlier this year, Bonner has said advance manifests would play a key role in the agency's Container Security Initiative. CSI, which was announced in January, is designed to help protect the United States and a large portion of the global trading system from terrorists who might use
container transport to hide weapons of mass destruction and related materials. In June, the Group of Eight nations and the World Customs Organization endorsed CSI as a way to improve security in the supply chain without disrupting legitimate flows of cargo. CSI requires bilateral agreements to be created with other governments to target and pre-screen high-risk containers in overseas seaports before they are shipped to the United States. Customs inspectors will also be stationed in CSI ports to work with their overseas counterparts. So far, Customs has entered into CSI agreements with more than a half-dozen governments in Europe and Asia. Last weekend, China agreed in principle to join CSI. "Because of CSI's rapid growth and critical role in homeland security, it is necessary that Customs immediately begin receiving the advance manifest information required for CSI implementation, electronically (through Customs Automated Manifest System) or otherwise," the agency said. Customs said it received 78 comments regarding the proposed regulation, which was announced in August. The agency said it "significantly amended the regulation" based on the comments. For example, the final regulation exempts vessels carrying bulk cargo and also explains how confidentiality of manifest information will be protected. The final regulation becomes effective 30 days after publication in Federal Register (http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fedreg/frcont02.html), which is expected Oct. 31. The rules will also be available on Customs' Web site: http://www.customs.gov. Customs said it would delay enforcement of the rule for 60 days after its effective date. The agency asked the Treasury Department's Advisory Committee on the Commercial Operations of the U.S. Customs Service (COAC) to set up a special subcommittee to advise Customs on operational issues arising from the implementation of the advance manifest regulations. "This special subcommittee will allow Customs to maintain an open dialogue with the trade on potential implementation issues," Bonner said. "It is imperative that the trade community and Customs continue to work together."
