    The Dec. 11 AS Daily article “Customs to test launch electronic payment for commercial vessel fees,” about U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) pilot test for electronic payment of taxes and fees imposed on commercial vessels at four ports of entry – Los Angeles/Long Beach; New Orleans; Gulfport, Miss.; and Mobile, Ala – was clarified to explain that the pilot will be “incrementally” released over the next year. In addition, the Mobile Collections and Receipt (MCR) aspect of the pilot is not a system, but an application within the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) to replace reduce cash and check payments of maritime taxes and fees.
