PITT OHIO Direct Shipments Now Available from Cincinnati to Texas

PITT OHIO, a leading transportation and logistics company, has announced a new express less-than-truckload (LTL) service to six key cities along the Texas border. Shipments will be consolidated at their Cincinnati terminal and then sent directly to Laredo, El Paso, McAllen, Brownsville, Eagle Pass, and Del Rio. PITT OHIO is partnering with Averitt Express for the final delivery leg.

CBP Proposes Stricter Rules to Track Low-Value Shipments

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has proposed a new rule to improve the tracking and management of low-value shipments, also known as de minimis shipments. The rule, Entry of Low-Value Shipments (ELVS), would require importers to provide more information about these packages. CBP says this change will make it easier to spot illegal shipments such as counterfeit goods, dangerous drugs, and other contraband.

“Every day, the men and women of CBP interdict goods that threaten the health and safety of Americans as well as the economic vitality of our country,” said Pete R. Flores, CBP’s Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner. “This proposed rule will help to give us some of the tools we need to address more of these threats.”

CBP currently processes over 4 million low-value shipments into the U.S. daily, but existing rules don’t require much data from importers. This lack of information makes it harder for CBP to identify high-risk shipmen…
