Adding an AKA or DBA name for an active importer: CBP Form 5106 to the importer's assigned Center
Explain, under BRPD 11.0 (March 2023) Chapter 23, how an existing, active importer record (not frozen, not void) assigned to the Automotive and Aerospace Center adds an alternate name: block 1A keeps the official legal name, block 1C selects AKA or DBA as applicable, and block 1D holds the alternative name. In the manual PDF route, a completed and signed latest-version CBP Form 5106 with all mandatory fields is emailed to the Center to which the importer is assigned, not to the broker's own processing Center. Recognize the boundaries: this manual route is one permissible method, not the only one, because the 5106 ACE Portal and 5106 ABI functionality also exist, and a broker with a power of attorney may input a change as the certifying individual; a PDF update must re-enter all mandatory data, blank optional fields keep previously filed data unless new data or an 'R' is entered, and the request should not be sent to multiple locations. Distinguish the DIV layout, where block 1A is the division name and block 1D is the parent company's official legal name.
