CBP Entry Type 11 and 13 Informal Entry Filing Requirements
What happened
CBP proposed in a Federal Register filing published Oct. 8, 2026, to require earlier filing deadlines and additional data elements for entry type 11, the informal entry process for shipments valued at $2,500 or less, and entry type 13, its processing approach for international mail shipments valued at $2,500 or less. Entry type 11 filings would be due upon or prior to the shipment's arrival instead of within 15 days of arrival, and would add the final deliver-to party as a required data element. CBP then extended the compliance date for the new informal entry procedures for international mail from Oct. 22, 2026, to Jan. 20, 2027, a 90-day extension. Beginning Jan. 20, 2027, international postal shipments subject to Section 201, 232 or 301 duties, or within the jurisdiction of a Partner Government Agency, must be filed electronically in the Automated Commercial Environment through the new Entry Type 13 process for informal entry; otherwise formal entry is required. The reports do not state the effective date or final scope of the entry type 11 changes.

CBP extended the compliance date for the new informal entry procedures for international mail from Oct. 22, 2026, to Jan. 20, 2027, a 90-day extension. Beginning Jan. 20, 2027, international postal shipments subject to Section 201, 232 or 301 duties, or within the jurisdiction of a Partner Government Agency, must be filed electronically in the Automated Commercial Environment through the new Entry Type 13 process for informal entry; otherwise formal entry is required. There are no changes to international mail entry procedures before that date, and CBP encourages filers to use the optional Entry Type 13 process during the transition.
