Background

In Treasury Decisions 95-77 and 95-78 published in the Federal Register on September 27, 1995, at 60 FR 50008 and 60 FR 50020, respectively, Customs amended its regulations to reflect its new organizational structure. Concerning this reorganization, Customs pointed out that, although the concepts of districts and regions would, for the most part, be eliminated, they would still exist for certain limited purposes concerning customs broker permits and cartage and lighterage licensing. In addition, in the same issue of the Federal Register Customs published a general notice (60 FR 49971) that informed the public of the geographic areas covered for purposes of those customs broker permit and cartage and lighterage licensing purposes where the word “district” appears in the Customs Regulations. This document republishes the information contained in that 1995 notice.

In the table set forth below, which is arranged alphabetically by State or other geographic location, each of the service ports listed in the left column represents a “district” for purposes of §§ 111.1 and 112.1 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 111.1 and 112.1), and the ports of entry listed to the right of each service port represent the ports within that “district.”
