    Abstract: The Application-Permit-Special License Unlading-Lading-
Overtime Services (U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Form 3171) 
is used by commercial carriers and importers as a request for 
permission to unlade imported merchandise, baggage, or passengers. It 
is also used to request overtime services from CBP officers in 
connection with lading or unlading of merchandise, or the entry or 
clearance of a vessel, including the boarding of a vessel for 
preliminary supplies, ship's stores, sea stores, or equipment not to be 
re-laden. CBP Form 3171 is provided for by 19 CFR 4.10, 4.30, 4.39,

Clearance System (VECS), which will eliminate the need for any paper 
submission of any vessel entrance or clearance requirements under the

maintain the same data but will automate the capture of data to reduce 
or eliminate redundancy with other data collected by CBP.
