TO: ALL ABI FILERS
SUBJECT: ABI/AMS PROBLEMS
ABI FILERS HAVE BEEN RECEIVING CARGO SELECTIVITY MESSAGES TODAY
THAT ADVISE THEM OF MANIFEST AND AGRICULTURE HOLDS ON SELECTED
ENTRIES. IN SOME INSTANCES THESE HOLDS WERE GENERATED ERRONEOUSLY
BY ACS.
THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO A CHANGE ADDED TO THE AIR AMS LAST EVENING.
CUSTOMS IS WORKING TO CORRECT THE PROGRAMMING THAT IS GENERATING
THESE FALSE ABI CARGO SELECTIVITY OUTPUT MESSAGES.
ALSO, FILERS MAY HAVE ENCOUNTERED INSTANCES WHERE A RELEASE MESSAGE
WAS SENT TO AN AMS CARRIER ON A NON-PAPERLESS ENTRY. CUSTOMS IS
ALSO TAKING ACTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME,
FILERS SHOULD PRESENT THEIR NON-PAPERLESS ENTRIES TO THEIR LOCAL
PORT IN THE NORMAL MANNER.
CUSTOMS APPRECIATES THE PATIENCE OF THE ABI COMMUNITY AND
APOLOGIZES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSED.
