Delivery Ticket
1651-0081
The collection of information requires warehouse proprietors, carriers, cartmen, Foreign Trade Zone operators and others to prepare CBP Form 6043 (Delivery Ticket), or other similar document or its electronic equivalent as authorized by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to cover the receipt of the merchandise and its transport from the custody of the arriving carrier (or from any party to whom custody of the merchandise was transferred by the carrier under a Customs-authorized permit to transfer or in-bond entry). The transferring parties and the bonded carrier are required to jointly determine the quantity and condition of the goods or articles so delivered to the warehouse. Any discrepancy between the quantity and condition of the goods and that reported on CBP Form 6043, or other similar document or its electronic equivalent as authorized by CBP, will be reported to the port director within two working days of the agreement. These collections are required by Title 19 Part 125.
2. The information is to be used by CBP officers to ensure compliance with existing regulations and is in response to a recent increase in the amount of unentered merchandise being moved into general order facilities. This increase has resulted from changes in the law, and it has prompted the importing community to request that CBP put in place uniform, national procedures for approving and operating warehouses receiving general order merchandise.
The information on the Delivery Ticket, Form 6043 can currently be transmitted electronically through the Automated Manifest System (AMS). However, this will be replaced by the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The automation of the Form 6043 is scheduled for 2011.
