This notice announces that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is extending the Declaration Zone test for an additional three years. Current CBP regulations require each traveler to provide a CBP officer with an oral or written declaration of all articles brought into the United States. The Declaration Zone test streamlines the processing of travelers who enter the United States aboard vessels by allowing a demonstrative initial declaration to separate travelers who do not have items to declare from those who have items to declare and, in some cases, replace the provision of oral or written declarations.
The agency’s own summary, as published.
