In all U.S. ports, CBP has initiated its next phase of its enforced compliance procedures to ensure that the information is presented in the time frames required by the regulation.  CBP will issue a penalty or claim for liquidated damages when the air waybill record is not received in the required time frame established by the regulation. 

CBP also places holds on air waybill records when the cargo description, shipper or consignee information is not provided or the information provided is not acceptable.  CBP also places holds on master air waybill records if the required house air waybill information is not been received by CBP. 

Finally, CBP places a hold on split master air waybill records when the carrier fails to submit the required information for the affected house air waybills pursuant to 19 CFR 122.48a(d)(3).  These holds are placed in addition to any other holds placed on air waybill records when the cargo has been selected for physical inspection.
