Can we use our overseas agent's 8000 number to request the release / submit the eManifest?

Can we use our overseas agent's 8000 number to request the release / submit the eManifest?

Yes. That is a decision your company must make, remembering that if you allow the overseas agent to file under its 8000 CCN how will you get visibility to that shipment? You won’t be able to see it, make changes to it, etc. unless your agent gives you access to its software/ third party service provider and why would you allow that? You would have neither visibility nor control.

Please be reminded: If your agent holds a non-bonded 8000 CCN, then the Port of Destination / Sub-Location code on the eHBL 8000 CCN must match what is declared on the 9000 CCN or on the ‘Previous’, bonded 8000 eHBL; release can only take place when they match.
