Termination of the 'Flying Trucks' Process and Compliance with Truck Manifest Regulations
CBP has announced the end of the informal 'flying trucks' process and is requiring full compliance with standard truck manifest regulations going forward. Carriers and brokers who relied on this process for expedited truck movements will need to conform to the standard manifest filing requirements.
We treat this termination as a firm operational cutoff — the flying trucks accommodation is gone, and any carrier workflows built around it now carry compliance risk. In our view, this notice warrants direct coordination with truck carriers on manifest filing procedures to avoid cargo holds or penalties.
AI-assisted summary of a published CBP, USITC or Federal Register notice, with JFS CHB's position on it. For awareness only — always verify against the official notice before acting. Our position is general commentary on a published notice, not legal advice and not a binding opinion on any shipment. Nothing here creates a broker-client relationship or a duty of care, and it is not a substitute for a ruling, a licensed review of your facts, or the official notice itself.
