As previously communicated, the U.S. Customs Border Protection (CBP) recently updated its required Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) Data Elements for air freight shipments traveling to or through the United States. While a firm effective date is pending, the new data elements, as required by the CBP, will also be required by United Cargo for shipping to the U.S. in the imminent future.

Customers should start providing the required data as soon as possible. Data must be submitted in the OCI line of C-IMP, following the ACAS Implementation Guide. Additional information about ACAS data elements can be found here.

Click on the links below to identify mandatory information for each item:

• Consolidation
• Simple Bill
• Self-Filer (If you have elected or are planning to self-file directly to customs authorities, you must submit this additional data to ACAS with your direct shipment messages)

If you have any questions about United Cargo requirements, please feel free to reach out to the United Cargo Compliance Team at CargoCompliance@united.com.

We look forward to providing safe, swift, and secure transport for all your shipping needs.
