I went to the Pre-Processing center in London Monday night, and was told the placards are not going to be available after Sunday the 14th. They say that because the US opened a FAST lane, they would not be offering the placard.
Supposedly, to use FAST, you need to be a FAST driver, driving a FAST carrier's truck with a FAST supplier load. Geesh. It gets way too confusing.
I guess the best thing is to go to the PPC, get the PAPS faxed to the broker, and then do your best. I don't even know which lane any longer.
I asked at US Customs, and they said no changes have been made other than trying to get everybody to do their pre-processing done (PAPS) before arriving.
Of course, if the broker sucks, faxing a PAPS is a waste of time. I don't know if the brokers care. Even FedEx Trade has an attitude.
So, if anybody can enlighten me on the best way to return home to the USA without a 4 hour wait to get over the Ambassador bridge, I would appreciate it.
