8月13日（路透社）——美国海关和边境保护局周四表示，国土安全部已批准对2026年3月17日首次发布的琼斯法案豁免进行第二次90天延长，允许特定受监管货物在特定条件下继续由外国籍船舶往返美国港口运输。
美国海关和边境保护局的指导文件显示，该豁免期将于美国东部时间2026年8月17日00:00正式生效。

美国海关和边境保护局表示，所有受监管货物必须于2026年11月15日美国东部时间23:59豁免期到期前装载上船。该局还于8月17日发布了更新版的潜在受监管产品清单。
美国海关和边境保护局表示：“本指南同时通知各方，豁免申请流程将进行重大调整。”
在航次开始前，希望根据豁免条款使用外国籍船舶的相关方必须向战争部（DOW）、海事管理局（MARAD）和美国海关和边境保护局提交书面的“船舶可用性申请”。
美国海关和边境保护局表示，申请必须包含船舶身份、所有权、航次日期、装卸港口、货物描述、运输频次以及为何此次运输符合国家国防利益的解释等细节。
海事管理局随后将开展调查，确认是否有符合沿海航行资质的美国船舶可承担该运输任务。战争部将根据调查结果决定豁免是否适用于拟议航次，以及是否允许使用外国籍船舶。
美国海关和边境保护局表示，发起申请的行业相关方将联系合适的承运人安排运输。
根据豁免条款运营外国籍船舶的承运人必须向美国海关和边境保护局提供航次信息，并在航次结束后10天内向海事管理局提交航后报告，包括货物详情和豁免申请理由。

Aug 13 (Reuters) – U.S. Customs and Border Protection said on Thursday the Department of Homeland Security has approved a second 90-day extension of a Jones Act waiver first issued on March 17, 2026, allowing certain covered cargoes to continue moving on foreign-flagged vessels between U.S. ports under specified conditions.
The waiver will commence on August 17, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. ET, the CBP guidance said.

CBP said any covered product must be loaded onboard a vessel before the waiver expires at 11:59 p.m. ET on November 15, 2026. The agency also released an updated list of potentially covered products as of August 17.
“This guidance also serves as notice of substantial changes being made to the waiver request process,” CBP said.
Before a voyage begins, parties seeking to use a foreign-flagged vessel under the waiver must submit a written “vessel availability request,” to the Department of War (DOW), the Maritime Administration (MARAD) and CBP.
CBP said the request must include details such as the vessel’s identity, ownership, voyage dates, ports of loading and discharge, cargo description, shipment frequency and an explanation of why the transportation is in the interest of national defense.
MARAD will then conduct a survey to determine whether a coastwise-qualified U.S. vessel is available to perform the transportation. Based on the survey results, DOW will decide whether the waiver applies to the proposed voyage and whether a foreign-flagged vessel may be used.
The trade community member who initiated the request will contact the appropriate carrier(s) to arrange transportation, CBP said.
Carriers operating foreign-flagged vessels under the waiver must provide voyage information to CBP and submit post-voyage reports to MARAD within 10 days of completing the voyage, including cargo details and justification for the waiver.
