Generally, the Ocean Split Bill is a process that allows the splitting of an ocean bill of lading into two or more separate bills of lading for the purpose of customs clearance. This can be done in order to facilitate the entry of multiple shipments under a single bond, or to allow for the consolidation of shipments for easier handling and transportation. The specific rules and procedures for the Ocean Split Bill process may vary depending on the port of entry and the specific circumstances of the shipments being split.
It is recommended to contact the CBP office at the Port of Long Beach or Port of Los Angeles directly for specific information on their guidelines and procedures for the Ocean Split Bill process.
