Rules for Requesting the Immediate Delivery Procedure

The Immediate delivery procedure must be explicitly requested at Entry filing time and can only be activated with a strict two-step Entry/Entry Summary filing order: Entry SE (Cargo Release) transaction filing/acceptance first then followed by the Entry Summary AE transaction filing/acceptance. The ID procedure request cannot be made on a 'certified for cargo release' Entry Summary (i.e., the one-step filing).

For an Immediate Delivery procedure request to be accepted on an Entry (i.e., the SE/3461 Cargo Release transaction), the Entry must have a valid bond and the request must be made prior to release of goods.

The Immediate Delivery procedure is not allowed on Warehouse entry types.

If the Immediate Delivery procedure is requested on an SE (Cargo Release) transaction, once release has occurred or the Entry Summary is on file, the procedure request cannot be removed.

The Immediate Delivery procedure is different from the more conventional, regular 'Entry Release' procedure where the cargo's Release Date, when known/determined by CBP, becomes the Entry Date on the Entry Summary. Note that if the ID procedure is not being requested, then the regular 'Entry Release' procedure is, by default, in effect. The Estimated Entry Date will continue to be recognized and conditionally used to determine duty rates if the release of cargo has not yet occurred.
