  4. 19 CFR Part 192Refresher • A Self-Propelled Vehicle includes any automobile, truck, tractor, bus, motorcycle, motor home, self-propelled agricultural machinery, self-propelled construction equipment, self-propelled special use equipment, and any other self-propelled vehicle used or designed for running on land but not on rail.

  5. 19 CFR Part 192Refresher • The term “Used” refers to any self-propelled vehicle to which the equitable or legal title has been transferred by a manufacturer, distributor, or dealer to an ultimate purchaser.

  6. 19 CFR Part 192Refresher • For those vehicles exported by vessel or aircraft, the required documentation and the vehicle must be presented to CBP at least 72 hours prior to export. • “Export” means the departure of the vessel • “Presented” means available for examination • Clock is ticking…does not include Saturdays, Sundays, or Federal Holidays

  7. Current Process at the Port of Jacksonville • Titles/bills of sale are submitted to CBP a minimum of 72 hours prior to the departure of the vessel • Carriers, couriers, freight forwarders and other exporter representatives drop off title/bill of sale packets. • Exporters and freight forwarders send title packets by UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc. • CBP separates, examines the packets, stamps the titles and accompanying documents, and releases • The original title/bill of sale and accompanying documents • One copy of the title/bill of sale and accompanying documents

  8. Some Issues… • Due to the volume, titles/bills of sale are regularly not returned validated before the vessel departs. • In an attempt to help carriers, the Port of Jacksonville has previously authorized the export of vehicles whose titles have been submitted in compliance with the 72 hour rule • We recognize this is in conflict with 19 CFR Part 192

  9. Problems… • During the process of submitting the title/bill of sale packets to CBP and the sorting of packets by CBP, original titles have been misplaced. • Some title/bill of sale packets submitted by parcel arrive with document issues, no return envelope/invoice, are sent to the wrong address, etc.

  10. As a result…effective July 16, 2012 • No vehicles will be loaded on a vessel and exported without first having its title/bill of sale validated • Prior to the 72 hour cutoff, an email will be sent to jax-outbound@cbp.dhs.gov with a VIN list for the titles being submitted to CBP for validation. • The email will be titled with: Vessel name, voyage number, date of departure • The VIN list will be in Excel format and will include in separate columns: Year, make, full VIN

  11. Now for the Documents…effective July 16, 2012 • CBP Jax will no longer accept parcel packages with titles/bills of sale for validation. • If we receive one it will be mailed back without validation. • If asked, CBP will not recommend a courier

  12. Documents…effective July 16, 2012 • Exporters or their designee will physically deliver the title/bill of sale packets to the CBP Blount Island Office a minimum of 72 hours prior to departure, to include • One original title or notarized bill of sale and one original dock receipt • On CBP copy of the title or notarized bill of sale and one copy of the dock receipt • One Exporter copy of the title or notarized bill of sale and one copy of the dock receipt

  13. Documents…effective July 16, 2012 • While present at the CBP Blount Island Office, the exporter or designee will • Perforate all titles/bills of sale and all copies • Place the original packet and CBP copy packet in a designated location (shelf) • Retain the Exporter’s copy packet as validation for the export of the vehicle • Pick up any original packets released by CBP

  14. Documents…effective July 16, 2012 • CBP will retain the original title/bill of sale packet for three (3) days. • Our goal is to release the originals by close of business on the third day • The exporter does not need the original to export, their validated copy is all that is required at the Port of Jacksonville

  15. How is this better? • Exporters will leave with confirmation that their titles/bills of sale are validated, so their vehicles will load • CBP will have more time to spend on enforcement (Spirit of the Law/Regs) • Due to new office procedures at CBP, no lost titles/bills of sale

  16. Enforcement Action • CBP will still need to have vehicles redelivered • CBP will still place vehicles on hold for enforcement actions • CBP will still reject titles/bills of sale, but before the vessel departs • CBP will perform periodic audits on vessel paperwork as an added layer of enforcement
