Country of
Origin (C/O Code)
Country of Export
(C/E Code)
Classification Category
The Classification category of validation will be applied to EACH line on an entry summary. The validations will evaluate relationships of Line Item data elements
HTS#, Country (O & E), and Special Program Claim
(and HTS# to Entry Type & Value of Goods)
for compliance with import regulation.
HTS (Tariff) #(Primary) 1)
Special Program Claim
(TA/SP Code)
These elements are the
basis for determining
REVENUE AMOUNTS
such as DUTY and MPF
(Other Conditional) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8)

10. Entry Summary Extended Validations
Country of
Origin (C/O Code)
Country of Export
(C/E Code)
Entry Type
(Code)
If NO…then DUTY and MPF cannot be determined
Taken as a whole:
Is the article’s declaration of
HTS#, C/O, C/E, and Special Program claim consistent with import regulation?
Is the article “classified” correctly?
Value of
Goods
HTS (Tariff) #(Primary) 1)
Special Program Claim

12. Document Image System Pilot
DIS reduces paperwork costs and allows for faster, more efficient cargo review and release by CBP and PGAs.
Submitted documents are made available for review by CBP and Partner Government Agencies (PGAs) via the DIS application.
On July 23, 2013, Federal Register Notice was published on pilot expansion.

13. DIS Document Transmission Mechanisms
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) - The preferred mechanism of document transmission in DIS is via an XML payload transmitted to CBP via any one of three EDI technical mechanisms:
Secure FTP,
Secure Web Services, or
Existing ABI MQ mechanism
Note: EDI is of greater value in a fully automated scenario for technically advanced, high volume trade partners since it is supported by a modern, robust, guaranteed delivery and processing infrastructure
- DIS allows certain documents to be transmitted via to support Export Manifest and Simplified Entry.
Only certain pre-approved documents can be submitted as attachments on s
Associated meta data is sent in Subject line and Body of
Note: is more suitable in scenarios that are ‘Quick-Easy-And-Interim’; Semi-Automated,
and Low-Volume (total size including all attachments may not exceed 10MB).

14. 2013 DIS Enhancements PGA documents added to DIS for EDI transmission:
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Form 0728 Permit to Import or Transfer Etiological Agents or Vectors of Human Disease
CDC Importation Permission Letter
CDC Permit Exemption Letter
Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Certificate of Duty Free Entry
Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) Exported Goods Returning
FSIS Export Certificate
FSIS Importation of Inedible Meat Product
FSIS Importation of Samples
NOTE: Only documents announced via a Federal Register Notice can be transmitted via EDI.

15. 2013 DIS Enhancements
Allow the following to be submitted at time of manifest (submission of the bill of lading):
APHIS Notice of Arrival 368
APHIS Import Permit
APHIS Transit Permit
APHIS Pre-Clearance 203
Phytosanitary Certificates
Ingredients List
Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Allow SE documents to be transmitted via EDI to support SE filings
Reduced required meta-data
NOTE: Only documents announced via a Federal Register Notice can be transmitted via EDI.

16. Document Image System Access
PGA participants may contact ITDS for Participating Government Agency on boarding procedures or view the procedures on the ITDS secure website.
Trade participants may contact their local Client Representatives Branch for trade on boarding procedures for transmitting documents to DIS via EDI.
Ocean Carriers interested in participating in the DIS Export Manifest pilot should contact Adi Abel at

CBP is planning to establish ACE as the single processing platform for all export manifest and commodity transactions. This is in keeping with the President‘s National Export Initiative (NEI) and the Export Control Reform Initiative. Current plans call for the development of an automated export manifest system for all modes. This will involve coordination with the Bureau of the Census and other PGAs involved in export licensing and commodity transactions.
