Protecting Personal Data in Shipping Documents: Enhanced Privacy for Citizens.

New rules aim to better protect your personal information, such as Social Security and passport numbers, found in shipping documents. This means these details will not be publicly available, reducing the risk of misuse. The changes will take effect 30 days after the law is enacted.
Key points
Your personal data, including Social Security and passport numbers, will be removed from publicly accessible shipping manifests.
This information will not be publicly disclosed unless its disclosure poses no threat or it is already exempt under other legal provisions.
The act enhances your security by limiting access to sensitive data in customs documents.
