Select agricultural products to be removed from BRASS

The following agricultural products have been removed from the Border Release Advanced Screening & Selectivity (BRASS) system, effective September 24, 2004. As a result, BRASS bar code labels can no longer be used for U.S. Customs clearance. Instead, paperwork must be faxed to the customs broker well in advance of the shipment’s arrival at the border.

No reason has been given for the loss of BRASS privileges, however Customs has hinted that the entire BRASS program may eventually be phased out.
