In a document dated May 5, 2010, Customs and Border Protection published FAQ's

concerning Instruments of International Traffic (IIT's) imported into the U.S. that

contain residue. The publication includes links to additional resources and materials

that may offer assistance and, addresses questions such as: 

          Definition of an IIT 
          How is an IIT manifested and entered 
          Who will make entry 
          Determining estimates on the residue 
          Clarification on types of conveyances 

CBP has advised that July 1, 2010 will be the implementation date for truck, air, and

vessel modes, and October as the implementation date for rail.  As the FAQ's are a

working document, CBP encourages the trade to monitor for any changes and

updates, and has asked that importers begin accordingly.  Full text of the document
