WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE A SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENT TO THE ABI
'IN' QUERY. CURRENTLY THE QUERY ALLOWS ABI FILERS TO QUERY THE
CARGO RELEASE STATUS OF THEIR ABI ENTRIES. THIS CAPABILITY WILL
CONTINUE.
WITH THE ENHANCED 'IN' FEATURES BOTH ABI FILERS AND QP IN-BOND USERS
WILL BE ABLE TO QUERY AMS OCEAN/RAIL BILLS OF LADING. THE LIMITED
NUMBER OF TRUCK BILLS CREATED VIA CAFES AND QP IN-BOND WILL ALSO
BE AVAILABLE FOR QUERY.
AIR AMS WAYBILLS ARE INCLUDED IN THE QUERY.
ALL IN-BONDS CAN BE QUERIED. WE WILL RETURN THE
CURRENT STATUS FOR IN-BONDS IMPORTED BY OCEAN, RAIL OR TRUCK. FOR
AIR IN-BONDS WE WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO CONFIRM THE EXISTENCE OF THE
IN-BOND WHEN IT IS ASSOCIATED TO A COMPLETE AUTOMATED AIR WAYBILL.
IN THE INITIAL DELIVERY WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE IN-BOND
STATUS OF ANY AIR IN-BONDS.
WE WILL RETURN ERROR MESSAGES FOR ALL QUERIES THAT FAIL TO FIND A
COMPLETE RECORD. WE WILL ALSO RETURN AN ERROR MESSAGE WHEN DELETED
RECORDS OR SHELL RECORDS ARE ENCOUNTERED.
THE CHANGES TO THE CATAIR CHAPTER ARE SIGNIFICANT AND WILL BE POSTED
ON THE CUSTOMS WEB SITE SHORTLY.
THE ENHANCEMENT IS NOW AVAILABLE IN PRODUCTION. IF A FILER
CHOOSES NOT TO UPGRADE FOR THE ENHANCED CAPABILITY, THEIR CURRENT
PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION.
QUESTIONS MAY BE DIRECTED TO YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
