Bill > S1259

This bill amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to expand and modernize requirements for vehicle and aircraft manifest information, mandating that vessels, vehicles, and aircraft arriving in the United States must now have manifests that include more detailed public disclosures. Specifically, the bill requires manifests to provide additional information such as the Harmonized Tariff Schedule subheadings for cargo, the country of origin for cargo, and the last country through which the cargo was transported. The bill broadly defines "aircraft" to include any civil, military, or public contrivance designed to navigate in the air. The new manifest disclosure requirements will apply to all vessels, vehicles, and aircraft arriving in the United States 30 days after the bill's enactment. These changes aim to increase transparency and provide more comprehensive information about incoming transportation and cargo, potentially helping customs, trade regulators, and the public better track and understand international transportation and shipping activities.
