CBP Files Notices to Revise Manifest, Stow Plan and ISF Data Collections

Summary

U.S. Customs and Border Protection published Federal Register notices on August 3, 2026 covering a revision to the information collection for Cargo Manifest/Declaration, Stow Plan, Container Status Messages and Importer Security Filing, alongside an extension request for Free Trade Agreement collections. Both are being submitted to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act, the standard route through which CBP adjusts the volume and structure of advance cargo data it demands from carriers and importers. Revisions to ISF and container status message requirements are watched closely because they translate directly into filing burden and penalty exposure for NVOCCs and self-filing importers.
