Announcement of the National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) Test Regarding Pipeline Global Interoperability Standards for Crude Oil
Assess whether to participate in or comment on CBP's crude-oil pipeline ACE data test.
§ 01 Summary
CBP announces an NCAP test for crude oil imported into the United States by pipeline from Canada and Mexico. The test will collect new near-real-time movement and ownership data in ACE using unique entity identifiers and tamper-proof credentials, and CBP invites public comments on the test.
§ 02 Why this matters
The notice does not impose a generally applicable import rule, but it creates a CBP test that will require participating pipeline crude oil importers to transmit new ACE data elements documenting movement and ownership changes. Compliance impact is limited to entities that participate or are affected by CBP's testing of this import-data model.
