U.S. CBP Provides Clarification on Permit to Proceed (P2P) Requirements
Summary
The business aviation industry received good news recently from United States Customs and Border Protection, regarding applicability and enforcement of Permit to Proceed for non-U.S-based charter operators. After a cross-departmental review, CBP determined Permit-to-Proceed (P2P) regulations do not apply broadly to passenger operations as has been practice, but rather are specific to missions where CARGO is being carried. Universal’s Global Regulatory Services team initiated talks with CBP HQ – GA Program Managers, and other industry stakeholders, to help gain clarity on the requirement and its intent. • § Under 19 CFR Subparts F and I, certain permits for onward domestic movement and bond requirements may apply to arriving General Aviation commercial aircraft. This is a nice win for business aviation and good example of the value our Global Regulatory Services team brings to your missions – both in expertise and what they can accomplish leveraging their strong relationships with gov’t agencies like U.S. CBP, CBSA, EASA, eu-LISA, and many others.
