Bill > S3217

This bill, the Manifest Modernization Act of 2023, aims to amend section 431 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to clarify the requirements for disclosing vessel, aircraft, or vehicle manifest information. The key provisions of the bill include expanding the disclosure requirement to cover all aircraft and vehicles arriving in the United States, adding the Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheadings to the information that must be disclosed, and requiring the removal of certain personally identifiable information, such as Social Security numbers and residential addresses, from publicly accessible manifests. Additionally, the bill requires each manifest to include a checkbox to indicate whether the shipment is going to a private individual or a company. These changes are intended to modernize and enhance the transparency of the manifest information system.
