The CAFES application that generates a modified CBP Form 7512 with 2 Dimensional bar code (PDF-417) and used for non automated In-Bond initiation at some land border and other locations, will be retired from the CBP automated operations environment when the modernized ocean/rail application, known as the ACE “M1” project, goes into production during CBP Fiscal Year 2010. Current forecast is that M1 will be operationally ready for production deployment around the end of calendar 2009 (FY2010). Further updates will be provided as the M1 project nears production implementation.
All CAFES users should begin preparing to use alternate means of In-Bond initiation, such as the automated “QP-WP” application set. For information regarding QP-WP, please contact your assigned client representative.
