    CBP seeks comments on advance rule for heightened import supply chain disclosures

    CBP issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking stating it is considering amending its regulations to require greater visibility into the supply chains of goods imported into the United States, including information on the parties involved in importation, technical solutions for tracing supply chains, and foreign export documentation that foreign exporters must submit to their customs authority before export to the United States. CBP says the proposals aim to detect and interdict illicit importations, especially goods illegally transshipped to evade U.S. customs and trade laws. Comments are due on or before December 1, 2026, under docket number USCBP-2026-1058.

    CBP moves to electronic refunds on Feb. 6, 2026, ending paper checks for customs refunds

    CBP states that the U.S. Department of the Treasury will stop issuing paper checks for all CBP refunds on Feb. 6, 2026, unless the recipient has an approved waiver under 31 C.F.R. § 208.4, and that two upgrades to the ACE Secure Data Portal prepare users for the electronic refund process. The changes, outlined in the Interim Final Rule: Electronic Refunds, follow Executive Order 14247 on modernizing federal payments. The first upgrade adds a secure online tool for authorizing electronic refunds and the second simplifies the application process for creating importer accounts.

    Why it matters: Importers, brokers and other refund recipients must be enrolled for electronic refunds through the ACE Portal before Feb. 6, 2026, or hold an approved waiver under 31 C.F.R. § 208.4 to keep receiving paper checks.
