Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
This is to advise you of recent changes that could impact the security of your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in connection with your upcoming move. Importer names on entry documents are confidential and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) does not disclose names of importers to the public. However, there are a number of private sector media services that are permitted by the privacy statute, 19 CFR 103.31 (d), to collect manifest data at every port of entry. Reporters may publish names of importers from vessel manifest data unless an importer/shipper requests confidentiality.
You can submit a request for confidentiality of your name so that this data is not distributed to 3rd party vessel manifest companies. CBP has provided the following website with instructions on how to do so.
