April 2024, question 2

Broker Compliance · ACE entry summary data and business rules

Number One Car Company (NOC Co.) is an existing importer whose account is not in frozen or void status with the CBP Office of Finance Revenue Division and whose account is assigned to the Automotive and Aerospace Center of Excellence and Expertise (A&A Center). NOC Co.’s broker is Jack Frost Customhouse Broker (Jack Frost). Jack Frost is licensed and has his National Permit through Los Angeles/Long Beach and his processing Center is the Electronics Center of Excellence and Expertise (Electronics Center). NOC Co. has advised Jack Frost that it is adopting an alternate name of NOC Co. as it has permission from its State of incorporation. Which of the following correctly states a method Jack Frost can use to notify CBP of NOC Co.'s adoption of an alternate name?

  1. Jack Frost will email a completed and signed Customs Form 5291 showing the NOC Co.’s alternate name to the A&A Center.
  2. Jack Frost will use NOC Co.'s ACE Portal account to create an Importer Certifying Statement showing the adoption of the alternate name.
  3. Jack Frost will email a completed and signed Customs Form 5106 showing NOC Co.'s alternate name to the A&A Center.
  4. Jack Frost will follow the change of name instructions found in 19 CFR 111.30(c) and email the Electronics Center with NOC Co.'s alternate name.
Show the answer and walk-through

CBP's answer: C. C: Jack Frost will email a completed and signed Customs Form 5106 showing NOC Co.'s alternate name to the A&A Center.

Importer data changes are made on CBP Form 5106. The BRPD says a trade member can send a completed and signed PDF 5106 to the Center the importer is associated with, so Jack Frost emails the signed 5106 to the A&A Center. CBP Form 5291 and an Importer Certifying Statement are not the method, and 111.30(c) covers broker name changes, not an importer's.

Members of the trade community can submit a completed and signed PDF copy of the CBP Form 5106 to the Center it is associated with ACE BRPD Section 23.6
