CBP is testing the new Vessel Entrance and Clearance System (VECS) which digitizes the entrance and clearance process. Although the CBP form 1302 has been largely automated through ACE for Cargo Declarations of imported merchandise, there are still a few remaining functions of the paper CBP form 1302. As the system progresses, this form will become a function that can be submitted and reviewed in VECS.
UPDATE: CBP is testing the new Vessel Entrance and Clearance System (VECS) which digitizes the entrance and clearance process. This form is not required if using VECS. Instead, you can complete the attached CSV file for upload into the system.
