Alert: Additional Storm Related Information from CBP
U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) informed about the following port statuses for Middle Atlantic ports of entry:
- Jacksonville - open
- Brunswick - open
- Savannah port has restricted operations
- Charleston - closed
- Greensboro airport - open
- Wilmington Seaport - closed, airport - closed
- Moorhead city - closed,
- Raleigh Durham and airports - open
- Virginia - Norfolk terminals - CBP suspended at 08:00 today
- Baltimore - open
- Philadelphia ports and services - open
Should any vessel diversions create a Jones Act violation, CBP will issue a penalty, but it may be waived or mitigated at the Port Director's discretion.
Please note, these routing procedures are for ship diversion. If you have entries on file coming to one of the ports where a vessel is discharged, and it is a port of entry, you will have to do an entry update to correct the port code.
Leave the SE10 field blank and retransmit. Then when the vessel has arrived, it will follow the vessel’s arrival at that point. The entry will pick up that port code.
If you have not sent the entries yet and expect diversion - just submit the entries and leave the SE10 field blank. If you cannot accept it at the original location because of storm or flooding, you will have to cancel the original entry and designate a new location.
